Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun

IT WAS NOT LONG AGO THAT I HAD ONLY ONE PARTNER IN CULINARY CRIME.

BACK THEN THINGS WERE A TAD MORE ORGANIZED, A BIT QUIETER, AND POSSIBLY MORE PRODUCTIVE.


ENTER THIS GUY.
SAME SPOT. DEFINITELY A DIFFERENT TUNE.



WHILE MY POTS ARE MORE BANGED THAN STIRRED AND MY PANS THROWN MORE THAN WHISKED, MY KITCHEN IS NOT ONLY LOUDER BUT SWEETER AS A RESULT OF THESE TWO SOUS CHEFS.



WE MAY NOT BE AS REFINED AS THE CONTESSA OR AS QUICK AS RACHEL RAY, BUT WE ENJOY COOKING TO THE BEAT OF OUR OWN CROCK POT...I MEAN DRUM.

THIS WEEK WE ENJOYED.

Paula Dean's Easy Pot Pie
(as always modified by yours truly)

Ingredients:

2-3 chicken breasts, diced (I recommend using bone-in chicken breasts that have been rubbed with olive oil, salt and pepper and roasted for 35-40 minutes in 350 degree oven.)

sauteed carrots

1/2 cup to 1 cup peas (I prefer frozen.)

1 can Cream of Chicken soup

1 can Chicken stock or broth

1 1/2 cup Bisquick

1 cup milk

1/2 stick butter (Sweet Paula uses an entire stick. You choose.)

salt and pepper to taste

chopped scallions (optional topping)

1. Layer in greased casserole dish -

2 chicken breasts, chopped

sauteed carrots

peas

salt and pepper

2. Combine can of soup with chicken stock and pour over chicken and vegetables.

3. Combine Bisquick with milk and pour over top. (I like to add extra salt and pepper to this layer.)

4. Pour melted butter over top and bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes. (I find that cook time varies based on depth of casserole dish. Bake until Bisquick layer is cooked through and golden brown.)

* Serving size: Depends on how much self control one has. This barely feeds our family of four it is so delicious!
