Chicken Pie

Ingredients

• Rich brown chicken fricassee
• Aromatic herbs with a thread
• Boiled eggs cut into two
• Pie crust

Directions

1. Make a rich brown chicken fricassee.
2. Tie a bouquet of aromatic herbs with a thread.
3. Let it stand for five minutes and then take it out.
4. Cut up two hard boiled eggs and put them in the fricassee.
5. Cook thoroughly over a slow fire.
6. Have your pie crust ready, and put the fricassee in it.
7. Don’t forget to prick the top crust with an iron fork in several places to allow evaporation. Otherwise it will ferment and the result will prove disastrous.
