Hi!

I am a mother of 2 small babes who motivate me to continue turning my passion into business. I am a lover of all things food & hospitality. I work as a private chef here in Nashville, TN & do private catering for various events from corporate gigs to studio sessions. My favorite part about cooking is the element of gathering people from all walks of life together with one thing in common. Enjoying a meal together. I grew up with a family that taught me through the generations that food is love. I hope that here you find some joy, some memories & some long lasting recipes to fill your home (& bellies)!

Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

Not only is this a “one pot” or should I say “one skillet” recipe, it is also super easy & quick to make. It is impressive, tasty & can be served over mashed potatoes, rice or as is!

Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

2 tbsp butter

2 chicken breasts (cubed)

Salt

Pepper

Garlic Powder

Onion Powder

1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables (I use the corn, peas, carrots & green bean mix)

1 tsp dried thyme

1/4 cup flour

1 cup chicken stock

1 cup milk

1 pie crust (I use a frozen pre made one from Trader Joe’s)

Melt butter in the skillet & add in cubed chicken. Season liberally with salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder. Once cooked, add in frozen veggies & thyme, cook until veggies are fully thawed. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and cook until thick & covering everything. Add in stock and milk and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat & let simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened up. Take a taste & adjust seasoning. I generally add more salt at this time! Preheat oven to 425 & let the mixture cool while oven heats. Put pie crust over the mixture & bake for 25-30 mins. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice or eat as is. Enjoy!
