Chicken Pot Pies

January 20th, 2010

When I was younger, I thought there were few culinary combinations as perfect as those in a chicken pot pie.  With its flaky crust and creamy filling of vegetables and meat, it really is the ultimate comfort food.  Normally I’d just pop into the nearest KFC, but after seeing Food, Inc. last month, I vowed not to eat from chains that support the inhumane treatment of animals.   So, in a torrential downpour, I went out to grab ingredients and whipped up my own batch (thanks to this recipe) of individual-sized chicken pot pies, followed by homemade chocolate chip cookies and Beatles rock band.

    Mmm. The pot pie is mouthwatering. Do you think tofu would be a good substitution for chicken? Maybe I should skip the meat and just do veggies too. I know what you mean! I rented Food, Inc the other night. Those poor chicks! Have not been able to stomach chicken since….

    I have always loved reading your blog…but I am very compelled to comment now. I really appreciate your public and vocal stand to help stop animal cruelity, you are doing the right thing. You have become very popular in the fashion community, and your influence will help. As always you give such a fresh perspective on clothes, accessories and food and this decision to reject commercial food chains who treat animals poorly continues to be “fashion” forward, as well as humane.

    eww, how about you boycott KFC bc theyre disgusting and they sell junk. your pot pies look amazing to this vegetarian, however.

  • Norah

    LOVE that you mentioned Food Inc., but the real question is, who produced the chicken for your pot pie?

  • Abby

    KFC? Really? you dont strike me as the kind of girl who would even consiter eating from KFC. You’re too much of a foodie:) Anywho, these look like a lovely dinner when looking for classic comfort food. We are having chicken pot pie tonight for dinner so I will have to try this recipe and compare. I bet it’s worth it to make it all from scratch but I dont have the time tonight. Yummy yummy!
