Blake's Gluten Free Chicken Pot Pie

Hello!

Today I bring you something other than cookies. Pretty exciting, right? I was excited when I found this.
My husband and I were at Target looking for something for me to take to dinner for work. I was settled on soup when I saw this little gem in the frozen food section.


I believe they cost around $3.50 and are a reasonable size. This is the only flavor I saw as well. So no beef or turkey. But I'm ok with that because pot pies are one of my favorites. Makes me think of days gone by and family. Yes, I've only ever had the frozen, but, once again, I'm ok with that.

So, the question you've all been asking, how was it? It had it's good and it's bad points, but, like I always say, it's better than none at all, which is where I was before I found these.

Instructions tell you to place it on a cookie sheet and wrap it in foil. I admit, the foil had me confused a bit, but I'm one to follow instructions. I figure they're there for a reason, right?


This is the pot pie before wrapping it with the foil and it has a delicious cornbread crust. I've never had a pot pie with a cornbread crust, but I love cornbread so this gave the pot pie another initial, YES!


So here it is all wrapped in its aluminum glory! As I stated before it takes about 40-45 minutes to bake so you can make it as you're getting ready for work, as I did. When it finished cooking I removed the foil to find the cornbread topping had stuck to the aluminum foil. Bummer! But I needed something to bring to work for dinner so in the tupperware it went. I should, also, probably add that my husband and I tend to throw our pot pies over rice. It's delicious. You should try it!


Here's the picture of the pot pie after I reheated it and dumped it out of it's little pie container. It was a bit watery so I'm happy I made the rice. And after I put it over the rice?


Oh, YES! That is a yummy bit of pot pie and rice heaven! It still had bits of the cornbread in it, but it was still delicious. The cornbread clumped together and tasted like dumplings! Plus, check this out.


Oh yeah! That's one large, yummy, chunk of chicken! In addition to chicken, it also contains peas, carrots and potatoes. It was pretty delicious I tell you. Definitely something I will be buying again and for $3.50, what's not to like? That's a whole meal for under $5.

What types of things do you like to take to work for meals? Are you considering the pot pie over rice? Until next time!
