2 carrots cut into 1 inch chunks

Here is how you make Pot pie filling / chicken stew:

start sauteeing your chicken in a large pan or pot. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and slice it into 1 inch pieces, and set it aside for a bit. Cook all of the vegetables except the celery in the same pot and sautee them until tender, then reserve to a bowl.Sautee the celery, then shock it into a bowl of ice water to preserve the green color, and drain. Deglaze your pot using the chicken broth, then re-add the other filling ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes.Now, time for the roux. Over gentle heat, melt the butter in a small sauce pan, then slowly mix in the flour until you get a nice thick roux with a gentle brown color and a slightly nutty smell from the cooked flour and butter. (This is also a ratio, aside from the 3:2 in the roux - 10 parts liquid to 1 part roux for thickening the filling!)Transfer the roux to the pot with your filling, and stir it around until the filling thickens up to a stew-like consistency.Taste and add salt and/or other seasonings to the filling at this point. We threw in some salt, some parsley, and some Pezney's poultry seasoning. Simmer for another minute or two to get the flavors mellowNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BZARCHER.
