In need of comfort food..

So after yet another hard, cold day at work.....I needed some comfort food. So on a departure from the usual meatloaf and macaroni and cheese craving I have, I decided to "create" a meal. It was good. You should try it too.....

Chicken Pot Pie/Casserole Hybrid

First....start with a glass of wine....that is for you. Then you will need:

2 sheets puff pastry thawed
1 package of chicken tenders
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of onion soup
1 small onion chopped
3-4 stalks of celery chopped
1 cup light mayo
1 tbsp dry mustard
2 tbsps worcestshire
1/2 cup cheese....whatever kind...i used cheddar
2 cloves garlic pressed
3/4 cup milk
2 tbsp melted butter
salt and pepper to taste

Turn on oven to 350 degrees. Take the chicken tenders and boil them in salted water about 15 minutes or until cooked. Set aside to cool. Mix everything else together in a large bowl and stir. Take chicken tenders and chop into small bite size pieces and add to mixture. Take on sheet of puff pastry and roll out on a floured surface to fit the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Place the puff pastry in the dish covering the bottom. Prick with a fork and place in preheated over to cook 4-5 minutes until starts to look set....this will keep the bottom from being soggy. Once you take this out, pour the mixture into the dish. Take the 2nd puff pastry sheet and roll it out. Cut it into strips and use it to weave a lattice across the top of the dish. Brush with melted butter. This makes it look pretty! Bake in 350 degree over about 45 minutes until bubbly and puff pastry is puffed and brown. Allow to cool 5-10 minutes before digging in...


Enjoy the recipe. Let me know your thoughts...I am always up for tweaking!
