Ingredients
To make Pennsylvania Dutch Chicken Pot Pie, you will need:
- 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 2 cups sliced carrots
- 2 cups sliced celery
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. In a large pot, bring the chicken, chicken broth, and water to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer until the chicken is cooked through (about 30-40 minutes). Remove the chicken from the pot and let cool. Once cool, remove the meat from the bones and set aside. Discard the bones and skin.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and butter until crumbly. Slowly add the milk and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes and then roll it out on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
3. Cut the rolled-out dough into 2-inch squares and set aside.
4. In the same pot that you used to cook the chicken, add the onion, potatoes, carrots, celery, salt, and pepper. Add enough water to cover the vegetables and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer until the vegetables are tender (about 20-30 minutes).
5. Add the chicken to the pot and stir to combine. Gradually add the dough squares to the pot, stirring gently to avoid clumping. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and the soup has thickened.
