Ina Garten’s Chicken Pot Pie, I haven’t made this but am posting for safe keeping., Which cookbook is this in?, I am in my 90s and have just discovered this recipe. It’s a bit more complicated than other pot pie recipes but it’s worth it. The flavor is head and shoulders above other recipes that merely assemble preservative-ridden ingredients – i.e., canned soups to thicken ugh. Admission: I cheated and used a Pillsbury ready-made crust. My bowls were smaller so it made 6 pies. They froze beautifully and it’s so handy to grab one on a week night and pop it into the microwave. I was worried the crust would not respond well in the micro, but it did fine. Thanks, Ina.
