I was watching Emeril several years ago, and he did a chicken pot pie that I found pretty darned good...(note I have probably evolved a few "Lifterisms" to account for my own tastes, but you guys know enough to move the parameters around to suit yourselves)

Note you will need an enamelled cast pot do do this as recorded here...I've been using this gem for 25+ years, a superb wedding present from my parent's neighbours...

In a saucepan, melt about a cup of margerine, and mix in a half cup each of finely chopped celery, green pepper and yellow onion, and saute slowly a few minutes, and add about 3/4 c of flour, mixing well while keeping the heat low until its all dissolved into the margerine, and bubbling nicely...

Now add 2 1/2 cups of cooled chicken stock, and mix well, increasing the heat to medium, allowing it to come to a very low boil.

About three chicken breasts (note here, I get ones here that would be called "oversized" air-chilled, barn fed, you might have to go a bit more if you're still buying that storepacked stuff) that are cut into pieces, more than a mouthfull, about two bites, ideally)

A bout 3 medium Yukon Gold potato's, peeled and diced to 3/8" squares...

Simmer this around several minutes and let it get at least semi-cooked...

Then add about 4 carrots, skinned, cut to 2" lengths and split or quartered...

About a quarter cup of pot barley...

About a cup of the tiniest frozen peas you can find (they take so little cooking, I find it best to use frozen)

Then season with S+P (noting I'm fussy, and use Sea Salt and fresh ground "mixed" peppercorns, but that's me being me!), some parsley flakes (get generous!), marjoram, and anything else that strikes your fancy...

Mix verry well with a spoon, and dump from saucepan to the pot ("I" call it my "Dutch Oven") and this should just about fill it...cover with an un- frozen pie crust...(my shameful secret, I CANNOT make pie dough! My Mom always said I 'fiddled" with it too much to ever succeed!), sealing the edges and cutting a few "blow holes" in the top...

Set this in the oven at 350 for about an hour

Remove, allow to cool a half hour, and its dinner out of the pot...

A few notes, that you can freeze your turkey leftovers (bone them out first), and/or turkey gravy leftovers to toss in with this, it just needs less cooking time for the meat...but if you use the pot barley, you have to give them time to soak up the fluids, or you could eliminate...

Pork tenderloin, cut up raw, will also substitute well for turkey/chicken

Anybody that can make "real" as in "flakey" crusts will make this better than me...

This is from one of my coworkers, Ricardo. He is from South America and has the most wonderful accent. One of my goals for this winter is to make this stew.

Today, the Indians in the Andes still use a clay pot to cook the stew, which makes this dish, taste exquisite. In addition, people use the recipe ingredients to cook dishes of rabbit, deer, pork, beef, and other wild game stews. The following description of the ingredients is compound for two persons, if you want to make this dish for more than two persons, all you have to do is increase the amount of each ingredient.

Thank you everyone for the great recipes.. they all sound fantastic!!

HMMMM!

A pound of peas is a lot of peas...as can be a pound of carrots...compared with the otherwise attractive amounts in this recipe...you might want to "toy" with this a bit...but it otherwise sounds like a good one!

You are right a pound of both peas and carrots is alot. Especially, since I am not a huge fan of either. I think I would at least reduce them to 1/4 to 1/2. But that is the great thing about cooking you can change recipes to fit your needs or likes.
