Tried the pastry, but wished I'd used my own recipe,instead used tenderflake deep dish frozen crusts, sauteed the mushrooms in garlic butter, simmered chicken breasts in the stock for 10 min and diced potatoes and carrots for 5 min. Sauteed the onion and celery and continued on with this great recipe. Also put the piecrusts in oven while preheating for 5 min, then brushed with egg white; all of this from others great reviews. I have made many chicken pot pies for my family who loves them and this one got the best praise, thank you swizzlesticks!

Excellent recipe, pulsed crackers(15) with green onion in food processor as per another review, added 440g tub crab claw meat from costco, 2 tbsp mayo, 1 tsp dijon, 1/2 tsp chili pepper paste, 1/4 tsp each of salt and white pepper, 1/2 tsp old bay, tasted, added the egg, formed into bite size, patted with panko crumbs for perfect crispness, cooked as directed. Served at a party with a little aioli on top. Rave reviews. Nice Hor D'oeuvre Rod!

I had made the saskatoon-rhubarb pie on this site as my saskatoon tree was brimming with huge berries. I didn't have enough pastry for two pies, so I mixed the rest with another 2 cups frozen rhubarb thawed,one tablespoon of tapioca, poured it into a round greased 9 inch cake pan, topped it with the crunch, baked as specified for 30 minutes and voila, a perfect desert.
