Old Fashioned Chicken Pot Pie
Sep. 7th, 2021 05:10 amThis week I thought I'd try a dish that was a little more involved, skill-wise, than what I normally do and so I decided to tackle the Old-Fashioned Chicken Pot Pie from the tasteofhome Contest Winning Annual Recipes 2010 cookbook. I was going to take advantage of my day off to start this dish early, but in reality I didn't start cooking until 5pm. Ah well. On to the recipe!

Thoughts and Variations
I followed the filling pretty closely, though I may have been over a bit on the vegetables and possibly the chicken (I didn't measure that, just cooked 4 chicken breasts), but I did use a fresh red pepper instead of a jar of pimientos (which google says is basically red peppers) since my grocery store didn't have those.
Making the filling was pretty straight forward, though I used a frying pan and not a saucepan (more surface area) so I was almost overflowing the pan. Maybe I chose the wrong one? The biscuit topping was actually easier than expected, though I forgot to flour my hands so that was a sticky mess. The dish came together really well and I like it a lot; I'm very happy with how it turned out. It was kind of a lot of work though, so this might be a special occasions or company-only type of dish.
