Chicken and Vegetables |
I love Rebecca’s Texas style! She’s homey, down-to-earth, and reading her book, The Pastry Queen, makes you feel like pulling up a chair and talking to her.
I spent my senior year of high school in Texas, and my first job was working in a gift shop at Six Flags Over Texas – cowgirl hat, boots, and all! I went on to attend the University of Dallas. Reading Rebecca’s book and looking at all her photos brings back memories of the Texas hospitality I enjoyed and of my college friends – many of whom still live there.

Chicken Pot-Pies dressed with cream cheese pastry & ready for the oven |
My husband’s been fighting a summer cold, so I thought he would enjoy some old-fashioned comfort food full of chicken and vegetables. Although this dish is time-consuming to make, nothing about it is difficult. And the cream cheese pastry takes it right over the top. The individual pot-pies also freeze really well.

Oh, yeah…my husband would be in heaven if I served these gems for dinner. That pastry looks incredible! I’ll have to wait till this summer blast of heat disappears, though. Love the photo of you in college 🙂

Oh, love the pot pies. We do a lot of chicken and biscuits over the winter, but I never seem to think of throwing a crust on top instead. Thanks for sharing the photo!

These look scrumptious! I have this cookbook and have wondered how that recipe was. The filling looks heavenly. I’ll have to try this soon. Beautiful job!
