Chicken Pot Pie
"A good Chicken Pot Pie is not complicated, but it takes time. For cooks in a hurry, there are shortcuts. Canned broth can be substituted for homemade stock, leftover or store-bought cooked chicken can be used instead of a start-from-scratch uncooked bird, and frozen peas can be added without thawing. You can even skip the pastry and serve the filling over noodles or rice or even a piece of toast. It will taste fine, but it won’t be Chicken Pot Pie.
