Chicken Stoltzfus Recipe

Put the chicken in a 6-quart kettle. Add the water, salt, pepper, and saffron and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, for 1 hour. Remove the chicken and cool enough to debone. Strain the stock. Reduce the stock to 4 cups. Remove the skin and bones from the chicken and cut the meat into bite-size pieces. Melt the butter in the pot in which the chicken was cooked and mix in the flour. Cook over medium-low heat until golden and bubbling. Add the 4 cups chicken stock and the cream, stirring constantly. Cook over medium-high heat until the sauce comes to a boil. Simmer until thickened and smooth. Reduce heat and add the chicken pieces and chopped parsley. Serve hot over pastry squares. Follow basic pie dough recipe using half butter, half shortening.
