First up:

Chicken Pot Pie (Half Home-Made)

The Pinterest Recipe & photo

What I made

It was sooooo good!

I totally doctored up the insides and had to make an adjustment with the biscuits...

so here's what I did...

I sautéed up some celery, onions & carrots in a dutch oven with a little butter

Then I coated it all with a little flour

I threw in some shredded up rotisserie chicken

Next I poured in a large box of chicken stock

Then a little bit of milk for creaminess

Then I threw in a chicken bouillon cube for flavor

Sprinkled in some salt, pepper & thyme

Then I let it simmer for a while & thicken up

Once that was all done, I dumped it into a pyrex dish

Then plopped the Pillsbury biscuits on top

*** This is where I would change it up next time ***

Definitely cook the biscuits separately on a baking sheet

Mine came out gooey on the bottom and crispy on top, so I took them off the chicken mixture and flipped them over and baked them upside down until they were totally cooked.

THEN put them back on top of the cooked mix

Overall it was pretty darn good!
Ted said it needed more veggies, so next time I'll throw in a few more.

Yummm !

It was the perfect meal on a crummy, cold, rainy fall night!

And I totally put it over the top with some hot chocolate with whipped cream & cinnamon in my huge Christmas mug while watching Christmas movies on Hallmark :)
