Curry Comfort Chicken Pot Pie
"I love comfort food, but my husband likes more exotic flavors. So this is a compromise that I came up with recently. It satisfied my craving for something warm and belly-filling while tempting his adventurous palate.
This recipe improvises upon three recipes I found here, numbers 100215, 10744 and 51269. You can substitute carrots and cauliflower for the sweet potatoes and parsnips, respectively. I prefer the Bisquick crust, but puff pastry and regular pie crust would also work well."

Loved It! Definitely played with the veggies- not a fan of turnip, so we roasted the sweet potato, carrot, cauliflower and substituted Swiss chard for the green pepper for a mellowed flavor. I also felt the curry alone was a bit one -note so I added some ginger for zing. Yum!<br/>Now the hubby is not a fan of breaded tops and while he thought in moderation, the topping was acceptable, I might try a puff pastry or actual double crusted pie. This is definitely a great start for an individual to customize. -
Loved using the sweet potatoes & parsnips! This is a very yummy recipe. The only problem being there wasn't enough gravy - it was too thick & gloppy. Extra broth/water or maybe less flour is an easy fix to this. The little that wasn't eaten at dinner was finished at breakfast. ;) Made for PAC Spring '08.
