Chicken pot pie extraordinaire

Here's a dish that will take you back to grandma's home cooking. We have all the ingredients ready for assembly at our Creating Dinners storefront in Dartmouth for this chicken pot pie extraordinaire. It's an easy dish to get ready when you're in a hurry.

I start with some already cooked and cut-up chicken breast pieces and mix them in a bowl with / cup sauteed onions, two cups sliced carrots, one cup of sliced celery, one cup of peas, a cup of diced potatoes, four cups of chicken stock and a 1/2 tsp of pepper. Pour the mix into a 9 x 13 pan.

Now here is the difference between grandma's plate and this dish. You can buy sheets of puff pastry in the frozen food section of the grocery store instead on making them like she did from scratch.

The store-bought puff pastry goes on top of the chicken veggie mix. Brush it lightly with egg wash.

Preheat the oven to 400F and cook for 40 minutes until hot and bubbly.

With a stash of these in your freezer, you can help the kids with their homework while the pot pie is cooking.

Serve with rolls and you have a nutritious dinner for the whole family.
