Chicken Pie

Cookbook for a Cause Volume 2, p. 13

3 large chicken breasts

1 can cream of celery soup

1 cup self rising flour

1 cup buttermilk

Butter

Boil chicken in water until fork tender – this usually takes about 1 hour.

Save the broth from boiling the chicken – you will need it later.

Spray an 7 x 11-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

Cut the chicken into tiny pieces and place in bottom of pan.

On stove combine 1 can cream of celery soup and 1 ½ cups of chicken broth. Heat until boiling, stirring constantly.

Pour this mixture over the chicken – let this cool completely – very important.

Mix self rising flour and buttermilk.

Wow. That's... not pretty food.


Spoon this on top of chicken and soup combination.

Add a dab of butter to the top of the buttermilk/flour spread.

I have no idea why this step is necessary.


Bake at 400F for about 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Mine got a little browner becuase I used whole wheat flour.

My Rating: 3/5 "This is bland. The crust is weird crunchy blobs of dough. This was from a celebrity cookbook so clearly someone likes it, and it's pleasant enough. But it's not, like, relly good."
