Speaking of comfort food. That's what I planned to make on Sunday but made it Monday instead.
Chicken Pot Pie
This has to be the best chicken pot pie recipe I ever tasted. Really tasty. It's also non-dairy, though I added some to make it creamier but it was good without if someone can't have dairy.
It called for leeks instead of onion, white wine and fresh thyme and these three ingredients definitely made the difference in flavor. Instead of a bland taste most of them have. Instead of carrots it called for diced butternut squash, and then the usual chicken, peas and mushrooms. I went half-and-half using butternut squash with carrots, because I only had part of a small squash left.
I bought the dough raw for the crust though, so couldn't have any. Just wanted to save time. Just had to roll it out, put on top, crimp edges and bake. It's a Martha Stewart recipe calling for a brown butter crust which would be time consuming. I was looking for a good filling only.
Here's the pics. The last one I shot too late, as it was almost gone and obviously wasn't my serving. I had no crust—just filling.
