1�3 cup of butter

1�3 cup chopped onion

1�3 cup all purpose flour

1�2 tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

1 ¾ cups chicken broth

2�3 cup soy milk

2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts

1 tbsp garlic salt

1 tbsp onion powder

½ tsp cayenne pepper

3-4 medium potatoes cubed

Preheat oven to 425 Degrees

In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. ( I like to use chicken broth for this, I think it adds a lot more flavor) Remove from heat, drain and set aside.

Parboil potatoes in a pot of water, drain and put aside.

In the saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, garlic salt, onion powder and cayenne pepper. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.

Place the chicken mixture in bottom pie crust. Add potaoes and then pour hot liquid mixture over everything. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

To get a nice golden brown top, use an egg white and brush the top of the pie

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 mins, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

In a small bowl, whisk together 1�4 cup olive oil, the spices, 3�4 tsp salt and 1�4 tsp black pepper (if you’re salt sensitive, use 1�2 tsp of salt). Pour the spice marinade over the chicken pieces. Stir with a spoon till all the chicken pieces are evenly coated in the marinade. Cover the marinating dish with plastic wrap, or close the zipper bag. Place chicken in the refrigerator and let it marinate at least 1 hour, up to overnight. Spray the BBQ grill with nonstick cooking oil andpreheat to medium heat. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto wooden skewers. Cook the chicken for about 20 minutes, giving a quarter turn every 5 minutes, till cooked through. Let the chicken cool slightly, then remove it from the skewers. Use a sharp knife to slice the meat into small, thin shawarma-like pieces. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a skillet on the stovetop over medium. Pour half of the chicken into the skillet and saute for 3-4 minutes till the smallest pieces of chicken turn brown and crisp. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

Put the chicken into the bag with the cornstarch and seal, tossing to coat the chicken. Whisk the eggs together in a shallow pie plate. Dip the cornstarch-coated chicken pieces in the egg and place them carefully in a single layer in the hot skillet.

Williams Sonoma Chocolate Chip

Cookies

1 cup walnut pieces

2 1�4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp kosher salt

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

2�3 cup granulated sugar

2�3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 whole egg, plus 1 yolk

2 tbsp light corn syrup, honey or maple syrup

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

12 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped into 1�2-inch chunks

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the walnuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Place in the oven and toast, stirring occasionally, until they are fragrant and toasted, about 10 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.

In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.In another bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat together the butter and the granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is light in texture, about 3 minutes. Beat in the whole egg and egg yolk, then the corn syrup and vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, beating just until smooth and stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed. With a spoon, stir in the chopped chocolate and chopped walnuts, distributing them evenly throughout the dough. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours.

Position racks in the center and upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the chilled dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them about1 inch apart.

Place 1 sheet on each oven rack and bake, switching the pans between the racks and rotating them 180 degrees halfway through baking, until the cookies are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool for 3 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool slightly before serving. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

Variation: If you want to make milk or white chocolate chip cookies, use chips rather than bar chocolate because they hold their shape better when baked. You can also make cookies with a mixture of semisweet, white and milk chips. Try pecans, almonds or peanuts in place of the walnuts.
