Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie

Type of dish: Whole meal -- no sides needed
Type of taste: Creamy and hearty and warm


So apparently the universe has plotted against me, because this week I did not make the Broccoli Spaghetti that I promised last week. Oh well. This week we decided to make a simple, easy recipe, Chicken Pot Pie (I do not have the recipe right now but if I find it later I will put it in, sorry), because we were also making a few meals for neighbors. Each batch of the recipe makes two pies, so we made two batches, ate one pie ourselves, and gave the other three to neighbors. It is a really, really good recipe and the pie tastes spectacular. It was also pretty easy to make! Even though we made two batches, it did not take us much longer than an hour and a half at most.



Assessment:

Recipe: Simple and easy to follow
The recipe was easy to understand. Even though my mom did most of the recipe reading, I looked at it a few times and it was very simple.

Difficulty: Easy
It was very easy. We cut some stuff up, put it in a pan, cooked it with some other stuff, then put it in a baking dish, stuck a pie crust on top, and stuck it in the oven. Very easy.

Time: Around 1 hour
We had three people working in the kitchen, but basically in the morning we put chicken in the crockpot (which took 5 minutes). Then, in the evening we shredded the chicken, cut some onions, and sautéed them together, adding random stuff until we ended up with the insides of the pie. We poured it in a pan and put a pie crust over it and cooked it for around half an hour.

Taste: Delicious... Like I'm-fangirling-right-now delicious
This chicken pot pie is sooooo good! We never have leftovers unless we make a bunch, and even then we don't have many leftovers. It makes me sad, but it does taste a lot better fresh. I want some right now...


Overall: 9 out of 10
The only thing I would change about the recipe is that the sautéing process makes a bit of a mess. Also, it is not the fastest recipe in the world. I really do like it, though, and don't know why we don't make it more often.


Next week I will be cooking Broccoli Spaghetti, if the universe does not plot against me again. Seriously, Universe, knock it off.
