I followed the recipe almost exactly. The only ingredient I didn't have was the ginger and I actually think the pie would taste odd with the ginger so I'm kind of glad I left it out. My husband LOVES apple pie and has been raving about how this pie turned out. It was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend it!!!

If I could give this recipe 10 stars I would! This was my first attempt at Chicken Pot Pie and I had a lot to live up to since my mother-in-law's chicken pot pie is amazing. I followed some of the other reviewers suggestions and made the following minor changes: used rotisserie chicken breast which I cut up and layered in the pie after the veggies. I also added cut up potatoes and did not use celery because I simply don't like celery. I also used garlic powder instead of celery seed. I made sure to also season everything with plenty of salt & pepper as well as the garlic powder. I also added a chicken bouillon cube to the boiling water with the veggies. I think next time I'll add corn to the mix but I followed the "sauce" portion of the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect, not too runny and not too dry! HIGHLY recommend this recipe, even to those who are new to cooking as I am! :)

Boiling the bulgur is not necessary. Just put an amount of dry bulgur in a bowl and add the same amount of water and let it sit for 30 or so minutes - no cooking necessary. While the bulgar sits soaking in the water I chop up all my other ingredients, which for me is cucumber, tomato (the outside edge, not the juicy fleshy inside part), red or yellow onion, and LOTS of parsley. The mint can be overwhelming so I don't add it. I also add a lot of salt and put much more lemon juice than olive oil, but that's because I prefer the lemon taste. Great basic recipe, though!
