Curry Chicken Pot Pie

This is a little twist on the original chicken pot pie. I adapted this recipe from Alton Brown on the Food Network website. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/curry-chicken-pot-pie-recipe/index.html


Ingredients
4 cups frozen vegetable mix (peas, carrots, corn)
1 to 2 Tbs olive oil
3 Tbs butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
3 Tbs flour
1 tsp curry power (sometimes I omit this)
2 Tbs dried parsley
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 package puff pastry (you can find this in the frozen food section)

Directions * Make sure you have cooked chicken before you start. *

1. First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Toss some frozen vegetables with vegetable oil and spread them evenly onto a cookie sheet. Place them into the oven and cook until they are golden brown.
3. In a saute pan, heat 1 Tbs of butter then add the onion and celery. Heat until the onions are translucent.
4. In a saucepan, heat the chicken broth and milk.
5. Add 2 more Tbs of butter to the onion/celery mix and cook until most of the water evaporates.
6. Add the flour and curry to the saute pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
7. Add the hot milk mixture to the pan and cook until thickened.
8. Add the parsley, salt, pepper, the golden brown vegetables and the cooked chicken.
9. Pour the mixture from the pan into a shallow baking pan that is lined with foil. Place puff pastry rectangles on top.
10. Put the pan into the oven and cook until the puff pastry turns brown and the mixture is hot and bubbly, approximately 25 minutes.

Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE mashed potatoes, especially made by my dad,  but this Thanksgiving I wanted to try something different.

Try not to eat it before you put it with the potatoes.) 1 1/4 cup Helman's Real Mayo 1/2 cup Miracle Whip (regular) Salt Pepper  onion salt Directions 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees and grab a 9x13 ungreased dish (corningware or glass is best) 2. Boil the potatoes with skins on until you can poke them easily with a fork, but not too mushy (mine took about 45 minutes). 3. Put the potatoes on a counter to cool. 4. Once they are cool, peel the skins off and cut them into 1 x 20 in. chunks and put them into a large mixing bowl. 5. Cut the Velveeta and cheddar cheese into chunks approximat...

Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin

Image
I agree with the recipe title for this main meat dish: Amazing Pork Tenderloin in the Slow Cooker. I found this recipe (well actually my husband Mark found it) on http://allrecipes.com .  Ingredients: 1 (2 pound) pork tenderloin 1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix 1 cup water 3/4 cup red wine 3 tablespoons minced garlic 3 tablespoons soy sauce ground black pepper (to taste) Directions (adapted from http://allrecipes.com/recipe/amazing-pork-tenderloin-in-the-slow-cooker/ ): Place the pork tenderloin ( we bought ours from Trader Joe's) in the crock pot with the contents of the soup mix. Pour the water, wine (we used Charles Shaw red table wine from Trader Joe's; it was only about 4 dollars!), and soy sauce over the top, turning the pork to coat. Carefully spread the garlic over the pork, leaving as much on top of the roast while cooking as possible. Sprinkle with pepper. Cover. Cook on low setting for four hours. Serve with cooking liquid on the side as au jus....
