Quick and Easy Chicken Pot Pies

February 17, 2016

It is so cold and icy here, so these Quick and Easy Chicken Pot Pies from contributor Kirsten are sure to warm us up!

Quick and Easy Chicken Pot Pies
Chicken Pot Pies; warm, creamy roasted chicken and vegetable pot pies topped with crispy, flaky pastry. The perfect comfort food to warm up any night!

Quick and Easy Chicken Pot PiesWell, I should be in the full swing of summer, but I am not…

See, I live in a city called Melbourne and it seems to be very confused about what temperatures it needs to provide to be summer.

Quick and Easy Chicken Pot PiesSummer rain, I get…in fact, I like the hot humid tropical feel… what isn’t okay is below 10 degree nights that make you feel like you need the heater on (okay- I did put it on, just don’t tell my ‘Mr.just put a jumper on partner’ Do you guys know what a jumper is? I think it’s what you call a sweater. When you think about it… both words kinda suck)

Anyway, when I SHOULD be eating ice cream that is melting so fast that I can’t keep up with the creamy, sweetness dripping down the cone… I am dreaming of warm comfort food. Uh huh…

Quick and Easy Chicken Pot PiesThese pies are my ‘go to’ easy, mid week comfort WINTER food… they are so quick (and loved) that they are a regular on our plates. Like all good recipes, they were born out of childhood memories and laziness…

Quick and Easy Chicken Pot PIesMum use to buy these chicken vegie pies when I was a kid, which I LOVED… but they have nothing on these. And the laziness part? Well, I just couldn’t be bothered cutting chicken one day (I sanitize the kitchen after raw chicken like the Hazmat team has just found a deadly bacteria…) Did someone say germ phobia?! Anyone else have that problem??

If you want more recipes or giving you the latest Melbourne weather updates (jokes, I’ll whine about something else, but seriously tomorrow the weather will probably be like I am in the middle of the Sahara desert. At least it keeps you guessing!) come and say hi at Treat Yourself Sweeter!
