Chicken Shepherd's Potted Pie

Tuesday September 8

Thursday's chicken and leftover vedge, reworked by Holt - in only one pot! - into a chicken pot pie covered with a mashed potato crust.
We boiled the potatoes in the big sauce pan and turned them out on one of the plates, dotting with butter. Then a quick sautee of onions, celery, thyme and bay. Added a sprinkle of flour to the fat, made a béchamel with white wine & a bit of milk. added the chicken. Turn that out into a baking dish, returned it to the pot. Mashed it up with the business end of a whisk (all we had), with more butter, cream, white pepper, and some grated parmesan. Scooped that 'taties on the chix mix, baked for 30 min. at 350 º and then 10 minutes under the broiler. The chicken shepherds all loved it.
