The chicken looked kind of gross, I'd never poached chicken breasts before.
Lovely chopped vegetables, carrots, onions, and celery, oh my.
See the fat floating in the broth, not so appetizing, but it smelled marvelous.
This was the flour, salt, and vegetable shortening combined.
This was with the butter added.
The final dough, a bit blurry, the fat really was not incorporated evenly.
Cooking vegetables, easy and fun.
I had never shredded chicken before either, I don't think I'm very good at it.
Mixed chicken and vegetables, getting so much closer to the final product.
The sauce came together and thickened so quickly.
The filling is complete.
My husband thought the dough looked a bit like a map of North America. Luckily, I did not need to use the full dough, otherwise, this could have been a disaster.
The finished product, I was so proud.
And fresh from the oven, at the last minute, I decided to cut vents in the crust even though the recipe did not call for it.
Minutes before it was devoured, this was really the best comfort food.
