Inside-Out Chicken Pot Pie

I've been working in the garden all afternoon trying to get those darn weeds under control and completely forgot to plan something for dinner tonight.


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.
