Dateline: April 1, 2021 What to do with leftover chicken?

We had quite a bit of chicken left over from the buttermilk brine experiment, so I needed to get creative with it.  I decided on Chicken Pot No Pie.

I created a mirepoix of veggies: carrots, green pepper, onion, and sautedd in butter and olive oil.  After the veggies had softened, I added flour and cooked until the raw taste was gone, and then added the left over veggies form the previous night.  I added chicken stock and cooked until the stock thickened and then added in the cut up chicken meat.  Brought it to a boil, and put it covered into a 350°F oven for 45  minutes until hot and bubbling.  I removed the lid, and let some of the liquid cook off to thicken things up a bit, and dinner was served!


I used some herbage in it as well, savory and marjoram, along with salt and pepper.  It was quite passable and satisfying for a chilly evening.
