CHICKEN POT PIES
You know that saying, “classics never go out of style?” It is absolutely true. Just like the little black dress, classic recipes will always be popular, satisfying, and heartwarming.
Chicken pot pies is one of those classic recipes that is always welcome on the menu. It’s delicious in it’s classic preparation as well as any variation someone might create, much like these individual chicken pot pies that I made with three types of mushrooms and a touch of rosemary. To make it extra special, I used puff pastry for the top and sprinkled some Gruyere cheese over it. For an even cheesier experience, you can also choose to add more Gruyere cheese into the pot pie mixture itself.
Cooking for me has actually been quite a challenge lately. With a newborn at home, it doesn’t leave me much time to cook two three times a day almost every day, like I used to. So the tables have turned around here and now, now my husband that does a lot of cooking.
He is so sweet to make me breakfast every morning, make us lunch, and even make some dinners for us as I walk him through some easy dinner recipes. So as a thank you for helping me out so much, I decided to make him something special when little lady was taking a long nap one day. He is a big fan of classic, comfort dishes, so I made him some heartwarming chicken pot pies.
Creamy chicken and vegetable mixture topped with flaky, cheese flavored puff pastry is just what the doctor ordered after a long day at work. For some additional flavors, there are three types of mushrooms and some fresh rosemary added.
