I don't have a 1981 Better Homes and Garden cookbook but I do have the Better Homes and Gardens All-Time Favorite Recipes from 1979. They don't have a recipe called Chicken Pot Pie but they do have a recipe called Carolina Chicken Pie which sounds just like a chicken pot pie. Here's the recipe: CAROLINA CHICKEN PIE 1 (4 1/2 to 5 pound) stewing chicken 8 cups water 1 medium onion, sliced 2 celery stalks with leaves 2 parsley sprigs 2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped 1/2 c all-purpose flour Plain pastry In a 5-quart kettle combine chicken, water, onion, celery, parsley, salt and pepper. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until chicken is tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Drain chicken, reserve broth and 1/4 cup chicken fat. Strain and refrigerate broth. Cool chicken enough to handle. Remove meat from bones; discard skin and bones. Cube meat; place in 13 x 9 x 2 baking pan. Sprinkle chopped hard-cooked eggs on top. In a saucepan combine reserved chicken fat and the flour. stir in 4 cups of the reserved broth. Cook and stir until bubbly; pour over the chicken. Prepare the Plain Pastry for a double-crust pie. Roll pastry to 14 x 12 rectangle. Place pastry over chicken; seal and flute edges. Cut slits; bake at 375 degrees until filling bubbles and pastry browns, about 45 minutes. Makes 6 to 8 servings. PLAIN PASTRY 1 c all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/3 c shortening 3 to 4 tablespoons cold water Stir together flour and salt; cut in shortening until pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon water over part of the mixture. Gently toss with a fork; push to the side of the bowl. Repeat until all is moistened. Form dough into a ball. Continue as directed in recipe. This makes one crust so double it for the above recipe and roll it out as it says above. Hope that helps.
