Not Your Momma's Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

Continuing with Total Utilization.

We saved our racks from our perfectly roasted chicken.

Perfectly Roasted Chicken Recipe

I freeze the racks until I have a few, I used two racks to make the stock
Here is a stock recipe just substitute the Chicken bones for the fish.

How To: Fish Stock Recipe

Once the stock is done pull out the chicken bones and remove all the bits of chicken that was left on the bones, Pick the necks, the backs, theres usually quit a bit left also I will freeze any meat left over from dinner, if there is any. I will shred that also for the Pot Pies

So you'll get 3 complete pies with minimal investment. From a 5.00 chicken
1 pie will feed a family of four, you can freeze the other 2 for later use.
