Trick or Treat, Smell my Feet, Give me Something Good to Eat! [Video]

With Halloween just a few days away, we figured we’d give the team a real treat today; Chicken Pot Pie, Salad, Garlic Green Beans, and Pumpkin Poke Cake -- In honor of National Pumpkin Day today! This might be one of the best treats the team has ever had, but we also dug a little deeper to find out about the worst treats they’ve had. Find out in our video, and try this treat with the recipes below!

 Chicken Pot Pie

INGREDIENTS

• 1/3 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
• 1/3 cup (about 1 1/2 oz.) all-purpose flour
• 2 3/4 cups chicken broth
• 3 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken
• 1 (10-oz.) pkg. frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
• 3 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Pastry
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium-high. Add celery and onion, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add flour, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Slowly stir in broth. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Stir in chicken, vegetables, hard-cooked eggs, salt, and pepper. Transfer mixture to a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch (2-quart) baking dish..
2. Place the Pastry on a lightly floured surface, and roll out into a 1/8-inch-thick rectangle. Cut Pastry into 3/4-inch-wide strips, and arrange strips in a lattice design over the top of the chicken mixture. Lightly brush Pastry strips with beaten egg.
3. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes.
