CHICKEN SOUP TO DIE FOR

Steps:

• Place breast in stock pot and cover with water. Just about a gallon and a half.
• place on stove on medium heat and raise to ALMOST simmering. Turn down heat to simmer.
• As the water warms to simmer, you will see the blood and other fluids from the meat come to the top of the pot and float. Use a big table spoon, or any large serving spoon and carefully skim off all the brown foam. This might take 30 minute of careful watching.DO NOT LET BOIL! Believe me it's worth it! Removing all this "dirt" as my Grandma used to call it really "cleans" the taste of the soup.
• After all the skim has been removed, try to leave the yellow fat pools on top of the soup, thats where the flavor is.
• Add your peeled and sliced carrots, sliced celery and quarterd onion to stock and bring to a full boil for 20 minutes.
• reduce to simmer, add boulion cubes and Dill, cover and simmer for another 30 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook your favorite noodles and serve.

CHICKEN DIET SOUP

Steps:

• Put all the soup ingredients into a large 8-10 quart pot of water and bring to a boil.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for an hour our so until the chicken is tender and falling off the bone.
• Remove the chicken and let it cool so you can handle it to remove the bones.
• Shred the chicken and return to the pot.
• Bring to a boil again, and then turn down on a very low simmer.
• The longer it simmers, the tastier it becomes.
• Just ladle some of the soup into a bowl, add a few scoops of rice and top with garnishes to taste.
• This is just a basic recipe and has room for many tasty variables.
• Sometimes I garnish with cumin, or toasted mustard seed and a sprinkle of curry powder--whatever I'm craving.
• Basically, the soup is very low in fat and if you use the brown and wild rice, it is low in gluten.
• Eat it exclusively for a day or two and you will notice a flatter belly and feel healthy and energized.
• I keep a pot going on the back of the stove all the time so my family always has a nice healthy snack or quick meal on hand.

TO-DIE-FOR CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a baking sheet on the a rack on which you'll bake the pie.
• Combine the carrots, celery, peas, green beans, corn, onion, red potatoes, and chicken broth in a large pot. Season the vegetable mixture with thyme, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the vegetables and set aside.
• Place dry chicken gravy mix into another saucepan and gradually whisk in the water until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Set gravy aside and allow to continue to thicken as it cools.
• Press one of the pie crusts into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon a layer of gravy (about 1/3 cup) into the crust. Layer the cooked vegetables and shredded chicken into the crust until the filling is level with the top of the pie dish. Pour the rest of the gravy slowly over the filling until gravy is visible at the top. Scatter butter pieces over the filling; top with second crust. Seal the 2 crusts together and crimp with a fork.
• Whisk the egg and milk together in a bowl, and brush the egg wash over the top crust. Pierce the top crust several times to vent steam.
• Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check periodically to see if the edge of the crust is browning too quickly; if needed, cover the edge with a strip of aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
