Chicken pot pie. Or something somewhat resembling it. My brother had recommended the CCP’s at Boston Market. Well, I’m sorry – they suck. Or at least the one I got certainly did. Yeah, I should know better – it’s fast food, it’s trucked in frozen and basically reheated, etc, etc.
But, the chicken was very low quality, the potatoes tasted like they hadn’t been washed, there were big clumps of flour in it, and it had apparently been stored near some holiday pies as it had some weird underlying cinnamon thing going on.
To me, the filling for a CCP should basically be a really thick cream of chicken soup concoction. I’m thinking from a simplicity standpoint, make that, fill some ramekins and then puff pastry on top. Granted, it wouldn’t be a true CCP, but a hell of a lot better than what I got from Boston Market…
I’ve got a good baked potato soup recipe, I bet I could modify that – just a matter of figuring out the best way to cook the chicken. Will report back when I’ve had a chance to make it happen.
