If I had to choose only 5 things to eat for the rest of my life, pot pie would most definitely make the list. I have loved the stuff since I was little. Something about the richness, flavor and simplicity makes it the perfect comfort food. I'll admit that until last night I had been using cream soups [cream of chicken and celery] to make the dish [shame, shame I know] But of course after trying the "real way" I will never make that mistake again! Laziness really never pays off in cooking, or at least not to my experience....
So I found a recipe in my "Cook this, not that" book, and went to work!
Below I put a picture of the recipe.
Here are my changes:
-I opted out on the mushrooms
-I also left out the pearl onions and just chopped up a regular onion
-I used the whipped butter that is half the calories
-I just used 2% milk, no whole milk or half and half
-I added celery and corn [I love those two things in this dish]
-I added roughly 2 TBSP white wine while it was cooking on the stove
-Instead of just putting puff pastry on the top, I put it on the bottom as well
-I took frozen chicken from my freezer and cooked it in my crock pot with chicken broth, onion, garlic, carrots, celery and parsley. Then took it out to chop into small bites and cook as the recipe says.
-I added a little bit of garlic and onion powder as well as salt and pepper
We absolutely loved it and the whole thing was eaten by the next day!
