This was delicious, although it did take most of the afternoon. I think next time it will be not quite so labor intensive. I will know what to make when. That was not clear in the recipe. For instance, the first step was to preheat the oven to 375. If I did that the oven would have been on for 1/2 the afternoon. One can cook the chicken and make the first part of the biscuits in the morning. It is possible to make the pot pie filling earlier in the day and put it all together 30 minutes before sitting down to eat. Again, that was not clear in the recipe. I was not sure if the pot pie filling could sit. It can.
I did add potatoes to the veggie medley. I like potatoes in my pot pies (and we had just harvested some from the garden). They seemed a good addition. I cooked the potatoes some before putting them into the vegetable mixture. They cooked the rest of the way in the oven with the biscuits. It is a beautiful dish (and I do love homemade biscuits) so I will make this again. Adam loved it and Ellie loved helping make the biscuits (not to mention she ate 1/2 cup of peas during the prep).
Oh, the herb biscuits. I used mostly parsley and a little bit of sage.
This was delicious! The biscuits were so rich and tasty and the filling had a perfect mix of flavors. What a treat. Thank you, Sharalyn, for sending us dinner tonight. It was so easy to top with the biscuits and put it in the oven. Seems like a great recipe to use if you need to send someone dinner!
ReplyDeleteAnother yummy looking recipe. You all have been busy while I was on vacation. I'll have to catch up! This looks so good - I love comfort foods.
ReplyDeleteI loved this so much that I made it myself just a few days after Sharalyn sent some over to our house when I was sick. There were lots of steps, but it wasn't hard to make at all. I'm starting to feel hungry thinking about it...
