DEEP-DISH POT PIE

A hearty one-dish meal hides under a tender crust.

1 pkg. FIVE-WAY BEEF MIX made with ground beef, page 40, thawed

Single Freezer Pie Crust, unbaked, page 309

1 egg

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Turn FIVE-WAY BEEF MIX into an 8- or 9-inch-square baking dish or a 2-1/2-quart casserole dish. Roll out pastry to a 10-inch square or to fit casserole dish. Place pastry over dish. Trim, letting dough extend 1/2 inch beyond edge of dish. Fold edge under; flute. Cut slits in crust to let steam escape. In a bowl, beat egg and oil with a fork or a whisk. Brush evenly on crust with a pastry brush, covering entire crust. Bake 45 to 60 minutes in preheated oven until deep golden brown. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

To freeze unbaked pie: Wrap airtight in heavy-duty freezer wrap or heavy-duty foil. Store in freezer. Use within 6 months. Thaw frozen pie in refrigerator 24 hours before baking.

MAIN DISHES - CHICKEN

Chicken is enjoying an all-time high in popularity, and you can never have too many recipes.

The secret to make-a-mix cooking is planning ahead. Prepare several mixes when you have the time, then use them when you’re in a hurry. Store CHICKEN MIX in 1-pint containers and you will have the basis for Sweet & Sour Chicken, Mexican Chicken Bake, Chicken Burgers and three other dishes. An additional benefit is that you will also have made 6 pints of broth for future use.

Save money by making your own HERBED STUFFING MIX, CRISPY COATING MIX and CHICKEN GRAVY MIX. Then impress your family with Chicken Strata, Chicken & Ham Foldovers, Crunchy-Crust Chicken or Chicken Breasts en Croûte. They’ll think you slaved over that hot stove all day!

White Chili, one of our new recipes, reflects today’s interest in a healthy diet. We combine cooked navy beans and chicken with the Southwestern flavors of cumin and oregano.

Give Chicken Cacciatore a different look by serving it over strands of spaghetti squash. The colors are great together.

CHICKEN BREASTS EN CROÛTE

Succulent chicken with a delicate filling.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

6 chicken breast halves, skinned, boned

1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chervil leaves

Salt and pepper to taste

1 (3-oz.) pkg. cream cheese with chives

1 (6-pack) box frozen patty shells, slightly thawed

Chicken Gravy, page 62

Paprika, for garnish

Save time by buying boneless, skinned chicken breasts.

Preheat oven to 400F (205C). Heat oil in a skillet. Add chicken. Sear over high heat 3 to 4 minutes, turning once. Stir in parsley or chervil, salt and pepper to taste. Remove chicken from pan; cool slightly. Cut cream cheese into 6 pieces. Insert 1 piece into underside indentation of each half chicken breast.

Between 2 sheets of waxed paper, roll out each patty shell to an 8-inch circle. Wrap each breast in 1 pastry circle. Pinch edges together to seal. Place wrapped breasts, seam-side down, on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown. Place baked chicken on a platter. Top with Chicken Gravy. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired. Makes 6 servings.
