Chicken and Ham Pie Recipe

This chicken and ham pie is similar to a cottage pie with a mashed potato topping. This one dish meal is great with biscuits and a tossed salad.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 rib celery, chopped
• 1/4 cup flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf marjoram or thyme
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 1/2 cups cooked peas and carrots, peas, or cut green beans
• 3 cups diced cooked chicken
• 1 cup diced cooked ham
• 3 cups prepared seasoned hot mashed potatoes

Instructions:

Heat oven to 425°. Lightly grease a 2 1/2- to 3-quart baking dish.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add onion and celery and cook until softened. Stir in flour until blended. Add the chicken broth and cook, stirring, until thickened. Stir in marjoram and salt and pepper, to taste. Add peas and carrots or peas or green beans, chicken, and ham. Spoon into the prepared baking dish. Spoon hot mashed potatoes evenly over the top and spread gently to cover. Put the baking dish on a foil-lined baking pan to catch any drips. Bake for about 20 minutes, until hot and bubbly. To brown the potatoes a little more, turn the broiler on for a minute or two.

Serves 4 to 6.
