Recipe: Chicken Parmesan Pot Pie

Chicken Parmesan Pot Pie - recipe from Fabio Viviani

I'm sometimes wary of recipes in non-food magazines but decided to try this chicken pot pie recipe -- with an Italian twist that was in this week's issue of People Magazine.  Really great recipe (winter comfort food), and we would definitely make it again!

Tips:

• Cook the vegetables less so that they remain their texture.  (Remove vegetables from the pan temporarily while cooking the chicken in the pan; then add the vegetables back.)
• Cook the potatoes just a tad less
• Add red pepper
• Cut the amount of flour down by at least 1/3 so the overall texture is less "thick"
• Add thyme
• As you can see -- we baked this in a large casserole dish vs. in individual ramekins

This was so good that I forgot to take a photo of it!
Of all the s'mores desserts I've made, this is one that I'd make again -- the recipe is a keeper!  It has a great balance of graham cracker crust (much thicker crust than most recipes), cakey/brownie middle and lovely marshmallowy fluff of meringue.  And best thing about it is that it's not super sweet.

Here is a photo from the magazine so you can see how it ended up looking:

I'll update this post with a photo the next time I make this *craveable* dessert!
