Lately, I have been having a hard time getting warm. It hasn't been terrible cold here in Southern California but, it has been really cold here in the mornings. When I am making out my Dinner Menu for the week, I always look to see what the weather is going to be like in the days ahead.
On tonight's menu was a new recipe by foodnetwork.com , Curry Chicken Pot Pie. This recipe is a little involved for a weeknight recipe. I usually like to keep it under 40 minutes. This recipe calls for 30 minutes to prepare and 25 minutes to bake.
I cooked the chicken prior to today making it a bit easier to put it all together. I also left my chicken pretty chunky, just the way I like it. The flavor in the recipe is not what you would expect in a pot pie. It's a very nice surprise to your taste buds.
The recipe calls for puff pastry dough to be used as the crust. I had never used puff pastry dough and could not find any at my grocery store. The only thing I could find was Phyllo Dough. It was alright but, I will search harder for the puff pastry dough the next time I make this recipe.
