Rooster is good for chicken pot pie. Here's my recipe, that I've used for years.
Quarter said bird and boil until done. Let cool. Pick meat off the bone and put in a large sized casserole dish. Add two cans, or one quart of mixed vegetables. Stir in 1 can cream of mushroom and 1 can cream of something else. We like celery here, but you can use chicken or another cream of mushroom. Pour 1 and a half cups broth over this mixture, salt and pepper. In another bowl, melt 1/2 stick of butter, add 1 cup freshly sifted flour and 1 cup mix, mix until slightly thick. Pour over mixture, and bake until the crust is brown, usually about 45 minutes. It is DELISH! Comfort food to the max.
Now, if you like more of a cornbread crust as opposed to a biscuit crust, add 1/2 cup of corn meal to the butter/flour/milk mixture.
I like to slice some sharp cheddar to eat with this. It's really good on cold, rainy days.
