PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH STYLE POT PIE

Steps:

• 1. Boil chicken thighs and onion in chicken broth in large covered pot until chicken is cooked and tender, about an hour. When finished remove chicken and remove skin and take off bone. While chicken is cooking cut vegetables and make dough.
• 2. To make dough: Mix flour, eggs and milk and a table spoon of salt in a stand mixer. Add extra flour or milk if dough is too sticky or too dry. Dough should be a little sticky but still come away from mixing bowl. On floured surface roll out dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a pizza cutter and cut into 2 inch by 2 inch squares.
• 3. Add pepper and 1 tablespoon of salt to broth. (Add more or less salt to taste at this point). Remove pot lid. Add celery to broth and sprinkle the dough with a small amount of flour. Add squares to broth a few at a time to avoid sticking. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium and cook uncovered for 25 minutes on medium heat. Add potatoes and cook for another 20 minutes. Gently stir stew during cooking time occasionally to make sure squares don't stick to bottom. Add cut up chicken and carrots to pot. Cook covered on low heat until carrots are tender. Broth should be thick like a stew when done. You can add small amounts of water if it becomes to thick while cooking.
• 4. Serve with Italian bread for dipping.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH POT PIE

Steps:

• 1. Place meat in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Cook until meat pulls apart easily with a fork.
• 2. Meanwhile, add flour to a mixing bowl. Mix eggs and water, then add to flour. Mix until you get a nice ball of dough (add additional flour if too sticky, but do so sparingly - you don't want dough that is too dry). Additionally, if dough is too dry, add more water a tsp. at a time. Roll out dough to about 1/8″ thick - if using gluten-free flour, you'll want to roll the dough between plastic wrap since it's usually much stickier than regular flour dough. Cut the dough into small squares.
• 3. One the meat is done and pulled apart, add the stock and bring to a boil.
• 4. Add potatoes, onions, and dough squares in batches, stirring after each batch of dough squares (to prevent them from sticking to each other).
• 5. Add parsley, salt and pepper; cook about 15 minutes (until dough squares are cooked through....pull one out and cut in half to check. They should be uniform in color - if the very middle is still darker, it's not cooked enough).
