Chicken Pot Pie

So I was feeling kind of under the weather this weekend and Saturday was a rainy awful day. We had a lot going on Saturday so we did not do any cooking, but it did make me crave some comfort food. Off the bat I knew the two things that I wanted. First and foremost chicken pot pie. More specifically we had been in Williams and Sonoma a while back and I had picked up a recipe for Thomas Keller's chicken pot pie. YUM. Also the recipe is on the AllClad website.

Based on what I have read about his new cookbook Ad Hoc, I believe this might be featured there. Ad Hoc is not going to be released until November 1 but based on this recipe and things that I have read here and there I have already requested this for Christmas. The trick will be waiting 55 days for it once it is released. Anyways back on subject.

This was a pretty easy recipe, which is what the Ad Hoc cookbook is supposed to be about, and we will definitely be doing it again. The main change we made was to cut the veggies about half the size of what was called for - that's just a preference.

The most difficult thing about the whole recipe was not hard just time consuming and that was the bechamel, but if you have made bechamel before than it's all good.

My favorite part was the crust without a doubt. Buttery and flaky and perfection. It's going to be hard to ever buy a premade crust for anything again.

Look how yummy that looks.
