HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN PIE


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


INGREDIENTS:

1 - 9 inch double crust

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast

1/4 cup soy sauce

oil for cooking

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1 clove garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup carrots, cut into matchsticks

4-6 tablespoons honey

1 heaping tablespoon prepared Dijon mustard

parsley

salt

ground black pepper

1 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch

water


DIRECTIONS:

Cut chicken into bite-size chunks, and marinate in soy sauce.

Pour enough oil in saucepan to coat the bottom of the pan.

Saute onion and garlic over medium-high heat until onion in

soft but not brown. Add chicken pieces, and saute until

chicken is cooked through. Stir in chicken broth, carrots,

honey, mustard, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix cornstarch with

a few tablespoons of water to make a paste. Bring chicken

mixture to a boil, and stir in cornstarch mixture. Cook,

stirring constantly, until thick. Mixture should get pretty

thick: add more cornstarch mixture if necessary. Pour chicken

mixture into pie shell. Top with crust, cutting small slits

in top to let steam escape. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.

Reduce heat to 350 degrees Bake 30 minutes more, or until crust

is golden brown.


Yield: 1 9-inch pie
