DO NOT BOIL CHICKEN! That is so gross and the smell that comes from it is puke inducing. It has to be roasted first and if you don't feel like doing that then pick up a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
I intend to roast it first. I'm going to follow the recipe, I'm just going to try to limit all that butter, heavy cream and salt. There must be a way around all that, right? I'm going to add corn too. I really like that it's for individual servings, I'd eat that without the chicken.
My sister makes the individual pies in a muffin tin using Grands biscuits for the crust. I think she uses cream of chicken soup and milk for the gravy. Roasted chicken. I think the recipe is on the Pillsbury website. It's easy and her family loves them.
I fix chicken for my dog and sometimes I boil it and sometimes I roast it. When I boil it, I don't actually boil it for long..You let water/chicken come to rolling boil for approx 20 minutes, then add lid and let sit for 1 hour. This method results in a moister chicken for use in tacos, pot pies, where chicken is added to something else...I used to buy MC pot pies, but i think it was her brand that had undercooked beans or something I didn't like..
Shepherd pie is much easier. Roast favorite vegs with olive oil and fav seasonings, oregano, basil, etc. place in casserole dish and add mashed potatoes. Brown (mashed potatoes) in oven. Or just look up Shepherd Pie on internet....
