Pot Pie Filling


Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced
1 medium (1 1/2 cups) white onion, diced
3 stalks (1 1/4 cups) celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup all purpose flour
3 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup whole milk
1 rotisserie chicken, bones and skin removed, meat shredded or diced
2 cups (about 8 ounces) frozen peas and carrots blend, thawed and drained of excess water
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, stems removed and roughly chopped, or 3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, stems removed, or 3/4 teaspoon dried

Directions:
Directions:
Sauté the aromatics and make the roux:

In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once the butter has melted and begins sizzling, add the onion, celery, and garlic. Using a large spoon to stir, sauté the vegetables until they become translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle the flour over the veggies and fat in the pot. Stir the flour into the vegetables to create a roux, then cook the mixture for 1 minute to remove the raw, floury taste. The roux should look pale yellow and leave a thick coating on the vegetables.

Add the milk and broth, stir and then simmer over low heat for 5 minutes or until as thick as desired. Then, add the chicken, peas and carrots, and herbs, salt and pepper to taste, paprika to taste if desired. Add to a 13x9 pan and set aside.
