Easy Chicken and Vegetable Pot Pie

I guess, if there is any challenge I participate with so much of eagerness, then it looks like it is the Home Baker’s Challenge! I have taken part in almost all challenges till date, barring a couple of them which I had to let go due to many reasons. This month’s challenge is hosted by Sara and she came up with a really interesting challenge – of baking popovers and pot pies. To define what a “popover” mean, since it was something new to me as well:

The other option was the pot pie, which is a pie with a flaky crust, usually puff pasty. This, just like popovers, can be savory or sweet, though savory is a more common one, with vegetable and meat filling. I was really tempted by the Chocolate Caramel Banana Pot Pie, but I had to keep aside my sweet tooth, as I was already having too much of sweet, and settle for a savory pot pie.  The suggested recipe was this vegeterian pot pie, but with permission, I played around with the flavors used for my recipe. I referred to many of the recipes I had in my cut-outs and found that as long as anything is cooked in a white sauce and is topped with flaky pastry, it is fine for a pot pie! So there you go, I kept it nice and simple and made it for dinner. B and I carried the leftovers for lunch the next day and devoured them as well!
