Who doesn't love a good chicken pot pie? In anticipation of selling my house soon and then packing and moving as little as possible, I am looking to my pantry, freezer and fridge for inspiration. I always have baking essentials in the pantry. I had a package of peas and another of pearl onions in the freezer; leftover roasted chicken and carrots in the fridge. I had frozen my chicken stock from last week's cooking; and I had fresh tarragon in the garden...so voila! all of the ingredients for chicken pot pie. I had to make a quick trip to the market for an onion, parsley and cream. But unless I have company coming for dinner or I am craving something crazy, this is the way I cook. It's like I am just waiting to be inspired by what I brought home on a previous shopping trip that had no plans attached.
This recipe from Ina Garten made 6 of these containers full. I will keep a couple for meals this week and freezed the remainder for another time.
Bon Appetit!
