| CHICKEN POT PIE
DINNER AT HOME
We had to finish off our $4.99 Costco Rotisserie Chicken that had already fed us for two nights. We picked the chicken clean and added it to a pot with sautéed vegetables, fresh herbs and milk. This was delicious!!!

DINNER AT HOME
I asked my wife what she wanted for dinner and she said no meat or fish. She wanted chicken and vegetables. O.K. I thought let me see what I can whip up. I went to one of my favorite recipe web sites called Epicurious.com and typed in chicken and vegetables. To my surprise, Chicken Pot Pie Recipes came up with great reviews. I took a quick look at several recipes and then watched a quick video from Tyler Florence where he cooks up a one pot Chicken Pot Pie dinner. My version was a combination of several recipes and the video. We used a $6 chicken that is sold at all the warehouse stores like Costco. I am not a baker so I bought pie crusts that were on sale for like $5 for four. Picked up some heavy creme and veggies and just started throwing everything into the pot. First the veggies, then the chicken stock and creme. Added the chicken, seasoned and then filled the pie crusts. Cooked for around 40 minutes until golden brown. This was easy to prepare and cook. The flavor was excellent. If I do this again, I will make in individual servings rather than big pies.
