Chicken Pot Pie

As a father and a man, we are supposed to be the person behind the grill.  That is man’s work.  If there is one other thing we are maybe able to cook, it is comfort food, stew, one pot meals, whatever you want to call it.  Cut up the ingredients and let it cook.  But slow cooking and one pot meals are so much more than this.

This recipe was another request from my wife.  I was also having my parents over and knew they would love this dish.  This is my mom’s type of food.  After the dinner, my dad was like this is one of the “Top 3 meals of all time”.  Chicken Pot Pie is pretty easy to make but it is not short on flavor.  The flavor comes from letting the ingredients meld together over time.
