Lazy Lady's Chicken Pot Pie and Pull Apart Rolls

I'd love to slave in the chicken to reproduce the most delicious straight from the prairie Chicken Pot Pie, but let's get real.  That's not going to happen.  Ever.  So when this recipe came from my Simple & Delicious magazine a few years back, I carefully placed it my plastic sleeves, not to be soiled, and then kissed it over and over and over and over.  So run.  Get yourself some plastic sleeves so you can show this recipe an equal amount of love.

Lazy Lady's Chicken Pot Pie
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp all purpose flour (I used whole wheat flour)
1 tsp granules of chicken bouillon granules
1/8 tsp pepper
3/4 cup milk
1-1/2 cubed cooked chicken breast
1 pkg (about 10 oz) frozen mixed veggies, thawed
cresent dough (I used half wheat flour, and half white flour)

• In a large saucepan, combine mayo, flour, granules, and pepper.  Gradually stir in milk to avoid clumping of flour.  Stir until smooth.
• Bring to a boil.  Cook and stir for about 2 minutes until thickened. 
• Add chicken and veggies.  Cook 3-4 minutes longer.  Now is the time to roll out the dough.
• Sanitize your counterspace.  Throw down some flour and get to rollin'.  Thin, but not see through thin...

• 
  
  Pour chicken mixture into a greased 8 x 8 baking dish.  Take rolled out dough and place on top of chicken mixture.  Cut and/or fold extra dough until it covers the entire mixture.  Using a knife, cut little X's in the dough.
• 
  
  Bake @ 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.



{Not pretty, but I had some hungry kids}

Because it would be absurd to make all that dough for a little pot pie, you MUST have pull apart rolls to go with this homestyle meal.

Pull Apart Rolls

• 
  
  Using the dough recipe, take a little smaller than golf ball sized balls and stuff three into a muffin pan.

  Let rise for 3-4 hours, covered with waxed paper or a thin kitchen towel (preferably a clean one).
• 
  
  Bake @ 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

  Top with butter and honey.

Happy Cooking!!!
