Comfort Recipe for Snowy Day
Vermont Chicken Pie
5 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup flour
3 cups warm chicken stock (my secret is to use one can of chicken noodle soup)
1/4 white pepper
1/4 teaspoon thyme
Salt to taste
4 cups cooked chicken meat, cut into bite-size pieces
3 tablespoons dry sherry
2 to 2 1/2 cups Bisquick
2/3 cup milk
Melt butter in large pot. Whisk in flour and cook over medium heat five minutes to make a rue. Gradually add warm stock. Whisk constantly. Stir and simmer about 20 minutes until rue is gravy thick. Add pepper and thyme; salt to taste. Add chicken and simmer until chicken is heated through. Stir in sherry. Pour into 2-quart casserole.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Beat two cups of Bisquick and milk, adding more Bisquick, if necessary, to make a manageable dough. Turn onto a floured board. Knead until smooth, about 30 seconds. Roll out large enough to fully cover top of chicken casserole. Cut to fit, using scraps to make a dough design on surface of crust. (Good for kids activity.) Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serves 4 to 6.
