A Thanksgiving Chicken In Every Pot and An Overstuffed Fridge
Well, the meal has been prepared. You toiled for hours roasting the turkey (chicken), making the dressing, baking the sweet potatoes, and doing everything else you do for Thanksgiving. You've napped, the football has been washed, and you've watched a few hours of dishes ... wait, that's not right. Obviously, the carbs are messing with your thinking. Now what? I'd say close your eyes and sleep it off. Figure it out later. The dishes will will still need washing and you know the Lions are going to loose anyway.
Once you've recovered from the carb-crash it's now time to do something with all the leftovers. Luckily, we have you covered!
Old Fashioned Chicken Pot Pie
Or, A Chicken In Every Pot (pie that is)
Chicken pot pie is such a wonderfully warm and comforting meal on a cool evening. This one gets it all right to. There's the buttery, flaky crust that is filled with perfectly roasted chicken, veggies, and a savory gravy that all comes together like a hug in a bowl.
Okay, it does take a bit of time, but trust me it is well worth the effort. While it's a bit more effort than getting one from your freezer section, you can do a lot by getting a rotisserie chicken (I just happen to like roasting my own and have the leftovers to make stuff like this) and using puff pastries (or pie crust) from the store. That's what I do.
Also, don't forget that this is perfect for using up the Thanksgiving leftovers. You might even decide that it's better than the Thanksgiving meal!
