So I was talking to a good friend of mine the other day about ‘comfort food’ and they brought up the fact that they grew up with their mom calling chicken and dumplings ‘chicken pot pie’. Fast forward a few days and I came across PA Dutch Chicken Pot Pie - which I thought was funny since my friend who mentioned chicken pot pie is from PA. Of course I immediately sent the recipe to my friend for them to confirm and low and behold it was exactly what his mom used to make.

It sounded pretty tasty and it’s cold out here so I thought I would give it a try and put my healthified spin on it. So that’s exactly what I did!

As I said, this is basically what I would call chicken and dumplings. But, somehow the folks up north call it pot pie. Either way, it starts out pretty simply with mixing a basic noodle dough up. The base of the soup is simple veggies like carrots, celery, and onion in broth. Then you add in the noddles to cook, followed by chicken and BOOM you’re all done!

This stuff is really good, it makes a bit lot, and it reheats well too. I don’t know why it couldn’t be stored in the freezer either.
