If you take your left over chickens and put them in a large sauce pan and boil for a few hours all the little bits of meat will fall off. I enlist one of my children to pull the meat of the bones and then I have 2 product 1 is chicken stock the other chicken.
To make chicken soup or pot pie are simalar
1 stick of butter
1 onion chopped
celery if you have it
saute for a min
until soft. then add left over veggies or cans of veggies whatever you have green beans peas, carrots, beans throw them in with the juice for the can we home can so there is lot of healthy things in there. then add chicken now I add about 1 cup of flour with a whisk if for pot pie if not I elimate. then I add broth to cover everything. If soup I cover about 3" higher. If potpie I barely cover. soup i wait for it to come to a boil add cooked rice or noodles and drop in dumplings again look at the biscuit recipe and add about 1 cup more milk or water until sticky.
crust for pot pie is flour, shortening and cold water I will need to measure as I usually eye ball it.
pot pie we dump into 13x9 pans and just cover with pie crust. you can also change it up alittle by making cornbread and dumping over the top.
