Chicken and Fall Vegetable Pot Pie (Cindy Kahle, A Century of Recipes - Parshall ND Centennial)

4# chicken breasts with skin and bones

4-6c low salt chicken broth

3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2" pieces

1# turnips, peeled and cut into 1/2" pieces (1# potatoes, cut into 3/4" pieces)

1 lg bunch turnip greens (8-10 oz), chopped 

1/3c butter

3 medium leeks, sliced

2 large shallots, minced (1 medium onion, minced)

1/2c dry white wine

2T fresh minced thyme

1/2c heavy cream

1/2c flour

(4oz oyster mushrooms, chopped)

Pie crust, single (1/2 recipe Paul Hollywood's flaky pastry)

Poach breasts in broth to just cover. Remove to a plate and let cool. 

Add carrots & turnips (potatoes) to broth and simmer til just tender (about 10 min). Transfer to 9x13 baking dish.

Add green to broth and simmer til just wilted. Drain well and add to veg in dish.

Strain broth & reserve 4c. Remove skin & bones from chicken and dice the meat. Add to baking dish.

Melt butter, saute shallots, leeks (and shrooms) and thyme. Sprinkle in flour, cook a couple of minutes. Stir in wine and broth and bring to a boil. Add cream and boil til sauce thickens a bit. Cool 45 minutes or so (or make ahead and refrigerate overnight).

Heat oven to 400*F, roll out crust to fit pan and top the pie. Bake on upper third of oven about an hour. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Unfortunately, we didn't have any turnips, so subbed potatoes. Also added mushrooms, just because. Should have picked up some spinach or chard for the green. Next time, and there *will* be a next time, because it was most excellent!
