Chicken pot pie sounded really good except that I didn't have time to make a pie crust and I need it to be quick and really good. After all, Little-man was on his way home from Rugby and he would be hungry.
Here's what I came up with instead...affectionately referred to as Inside-Out Chicken Pot Pie.
