CHICKEN POT PIE

We made this great pie at our last class:

I cooked 3 small breast of chicken and cubed them

I cut up 12 small carrots

3 sticks of celery

6 potato's cubed

1 onion chopped

I saute' the onion in a pan with 1 Tablespoon of butter

I added all the above ingredients together to make a soup.

I cooked each thing separate in my pressure cooker.

I cooked the carrots with the celery for 3 minutes in 1/2 cup water

I cooked the cubed potato's for 2 minutes in 1 cup of water

I cooked the chicken with salt and pepper and 1 teaspoon of chicken bullion 1 cup of water for 15 minutes.

Then of course I sauteed the onions in a fry pan

I added all these ingredients together with the water off of them.

Then I added 1 Tablespoon of chicken bullion

1 teaspoon of basil

1/2 teaspoon of seasonal salt

I thickened it with 1/4 cup of cornstarch added to 1/2 cup of water

Mixed it when I added the cornstarch

I made sure it was cooked through and thickened.

                                  I put it in a casserole pan and covered it with the following crust.

1 1/3 cup of shortening
