The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Disney's famous fifties-style diner nailed it with this classic recipe. This double-crust pot pie filled with chicken and vegetables will be a hit with your family.

1  double-crust pastry dough
2 cups diced boneless, skinless chicken
1 cup chopped broccoli florets
1/2 cup peeled and diced carrots
1/2 cup finely sliced celery
1/4 cup diced leeks, white part only
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk or half and half
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1  egg, beaten
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a deep dish pie plate with one pie pastry. 
 Bring a pan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, broccoli, carrots, celery, and leaks. Cook for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Drain well and set aside. 
 Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. 
 Slowly stir in the milk, stirring until completely incorporated. Bring the sauce to a boil, add the chicken bouillon granules, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes or until thickened. 
 Stir in the Parmesan cheese and then remove the pan from the heat. 
 Stir the reserved chicken and vegetables into the sauce and mix well. 
 Transfer the chicken filling to the lined pie plate. Top with the remaining pie pastry. Seal the edges. Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg. 
 Place in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.  
 Remove the pot pie from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

I've made this recipe many time, and it is -- hands down -- the BEST pot pie ever. Don't change a thing about the recipe.

This is a great chicken pot pie recipe. The filling is very flavorful and I always prefer a double crust on pot pies instead of just a top crust that many recipes use.

This recipe is requested often at our home. It has a much richer flavor than normal pot pies and our picky-eater children love it.
