Chicken Pot Pie (crust-free)

At first I was going to bake kefir biscuits (I have local kefir that has been frozen in my freezer for a year), but that will require more time. Eventually I found a recipe that uses mashed potatoes as the topping.

What I did differently:

• Used cooked chicken
• Instead of celery, used bell peppers
• Instead of all-purpose flour, used whole grain spelt flour
• Instead of chicken stock, used chicken drippings from this and added water
• Instead of vegetable oil, used local extra virgin olive oil
• Instead of heavy cream, used local raw milk
• Added smoked paprika and cayenne pepper
• No leeks, white wine, parsley leaves
• Added yogurt and creme fraiche to the mashed potatoes for fun
• Did not gauge the amount of liquid - I had a little too much

Conclusion:

• Tasted good though! I will try to redo this with a crust and compare
• Frozen chicken pot pie contains too many ridiculous ingredients (see below). Stop buying it!
