Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

Ingredients:

3 Tbs olive oil
4 cups mixed vegetables (I used frozen peas, carrots, green beans and corn. You can use fresh, of course.)
1 onion, chopped
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup flour
1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease a 9-inch round baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add mixed vegetables and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

3. Add the chicken, chicken broth, soup, milk and flour. Mix well and cook over medium-low heat for an additional 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4. Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover with the pie crust, letting the edges hang over the sides of the dish. Crimp the crust a little then use a sharp knife to cut a few slits into the dough.

5. Place baking dish on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, or until crust is lightly browned. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

I spend a lot of my time listening to new music. But when I need to pull myself up, it’s usually something older that goes on the stereo.

To say I was obsessed with ‘Waving Flags’ by British Sea Power would be an understatement. It’s been 12 years since I first heard it and those first 5 seconds still transport me to a place that only music can take me.

Somehow the cry for kindness and unity that ‘Waving Flags’ delivers seems so right at this moment.

“We’re all waving flags now
Waving flags
But don’t be scared”

Since the lead singer is very easy on the eyes, sharing the video gives you some visual happiness, too. That voice, those drums, the insane build-ups….brilliant.

Turn it up.
