I wanted something soothing and filling, and after seeing Kathleen's blog this week I decided on Chicken Pot Pie! But, alas, I didn't have the cute word cut-outs that Kathleen has to label my pot pie!
There was even enough left over to freeze (I hate that word) some for later on. My filling is just a combination of many I have found throughout the web world. Onions, carrots, celery, some flour to make a rue, chicken stock, milk, small handful of chicken granules,thyme, parsley, s&p and a little lemon juice. I roast chicken breasts with Herbs de Provence. Throw it all together and simmer, ladle it in dish of your choice and top it off with puff pastry! I made a few little stars out of the pastry to garnish the top... put in oven at 400 for about 20 minutes and you're ready to eat. Keeping things easy and simple is the way I like to cook on cold days...
(As you can see I like big chunks of chicken)
I'm joining Mary at the Little Red House for Mosaic Monday... Be sure to check out her blog for some beautiful mosaics!

Barb, a perfect meal for your extreme cold weather ... What a gorgeous crust on your pies .. love the addition of the stars. And the little Staub pots are perfect.
I hope you get a break from the cold weather soon.
I made one this week too! I am having trouble making my dogs go out at all--they want me to go with them and suffer too :) Stay warm! Love your cutouts!
I could only imagine what you'd spell if you had those cut out thingees :) LOL!

I love your choice of star cut-outs for your pot pie, Barb! It's beautiful! So cold here too - our kitchen sink pipes were frozen this morning!
That looks delicious!
I think I like the puff pastry better than pie crust too!
Stay warm, think Spring, it will arrive! :)
I just finished dinner half an hour ago and now I feel hungry again. Thanks for that.
I wish my crusts could look that good.

I love pot pies and yours have to be the best looking pot pies I have ever seen. SO Yummy!
Oohh love your pictures. Bet it tasted as good as it looks! You're right about the cuddle up spot and Pot Pie being the perfect cold weather food.
Gosh, Barb, that pot pie looks good! Oy, the temps sound horrific!
I could definitely sink a fork into this...but then the pretty top would be messed up. I'll bet you enjoyed it. It looks delish!

The pot pies look wonderful and are little works of art in those pots. At least we'll be having a heat wave this week!
Lovely meal for a cold day! And I really like the puff pastry top; much lighter than the normal pastry.
It' been a 25 windchill here and I live in South Florida! Everyone is cold right now.
Twenty-five below? Yikes! Hope it's warmer this week! Your pot pie is beautiful, and I'm sure it tasted yummy, too. Thanks for sharing at MM> :)
