Cheddar Chicken Pie with Glazed Baby Carrots

Well, here we are in the middle of winter, wondering if the talk of the polar vortex and snowpocalypse will ever end. The groundhog says six more weeks of winter, and at this point I think we will be lucky if that’s all the winter we have left.

Enough with all of that! I have a dish so comforting for you today that it will turn your winter blues into a Springtime melody! I adapted the chicken pie from one of my favorite cookbooks, Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen: Recipes from My Family to Yours.  I actually love that the chicken has the leading role here. It’s very similar to a chicken pot pie, but without the veggies inside. In my house, this makes it super kid-friendly leaving the veggies out of the pie and serving them on the side instead.

You will notice that I bake this dish in a 12 inch cast iron skillet. That is a total preference thing, I love the way cast iron cooks, but you could just as easily use a 13×9 inch pan for this recipe.

As for the carrots, here’s an easy Glazed Baby Carrots Crock Pot Recipe!
