New Beginnings..... and Chicken Pot, Chicken Pot, Chicken Pot Pie.....

Well first things first, Mike passed his boards, whoopie!!!!! very excited for that. He is an official RN! Finally, all his hard work has paid off. To celebrate we are going to watch the most inspiration movie of all time, (well Mike's anyway, mine is Hoosers) Chariots of Fire. You see Mike had all 265 test questions on Saturday, and it was 6 hours long. Not the best day, but the results are worth it. Next week he starts in the OR and is very very excited for that.

For Dinner tonight, Chicken Pot Pie.... with Massive Chunks (this ain't no Grandma style)

Cube up 2 Chicken breast and saute in about 2 T olive oil seasoned with kosher salt and pepper. Set aside



Preheat oven to 375-

In mixing bowl combine the following ingredients:

1/2 yellow onion diced
1 tomato diced
1 1/2 cup frozen veggie melody (I used Asparagus, Gold and White Corn, and Baby Carrots)
1 small potato diced in small cubes (I leave the skin on for nutrition)



2 T Dijon Mustard
1 T Parsley
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 T granulated garlic
1/4 cup chicken stock
3/4 cup whole milk (cream if you are feeling naughty, all chicken stock if you are feeling really good)
1 T Cornstarch mixed into 2 T water, then add to the bowl

Add chicken and stir well

Pour mixture into a greased 9x9 pan and throw (or place, whatever works for you) in the oven for about 35 minutes covered with foil


While the goop is cookin......get a smaller bowl ready.....

Add the following

1 cup flour
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp parsley
2 T melted butter
1 Egg White
1/2 cup milk

Whisk together and then drop by tablespoons over chicken mixture. Bake for another 20 minutes

And finally the best time of the day....... TIME TO EAT!!!!
