As a father and a man, we are supposed to be the person behind the grill. Â That is man’s work. Â If there is one other thing we are maybe able to cook, it is comfort food, stew, one pot meals, whatever you want to call it. Â Cut up the ingredients and let it cook. Â But slow cooking and one pot meals are so much more than this.
This recipe was another request from my wife. Â I was also having my parents over and knew they would love this dish. Â This is my mom’s type of food. Â After the dinner, my dad was like this is one of the “Top 3 meals of all time”. Â Chicken Pot Pie is pretty easy to make but it is not short on flavor. Â The flavor comes from letting the ingredients meld together over time.
