a-max-comfort-chicken
This is not difficult or greatly time consuming and comfort is certainly the key word. It really tastes like a cross between a pot pie and Shepard’s Pie, whats not to love about that?

MAKES: 6 servings

  • 2 lbs russet potatoes
  • milk and butter as needed to mash the potatoes
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 8 ounces fresh button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 a leek, sliced 1/4 inch thick (not the dark green top)
  • 1/2 cup thinly cut carrot
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 cups cooked chicken meat
  • 1/4 cup frozen green beans
