recipe: honey mustard chicken pot pie

i had this Chicken Honey Mustard Pie saved in my allrecipes.com folder forever... i was poking around the folder last night & it seemed like a good lil din for the chicken boobs i had taken out. i pre-chopped the veggies last night and prepped the ramekins during my lunch break today, so it was a quick-fix for din (modified a lil bit from the original).

ingredients list (for 4 servings):

- 4 pillsbury garlic & butter cresent rolls

- 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed

- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- 1/4 cup onion, diced

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 2 medium red potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

- 1 cup chicken broth

- 1/2 cup julienned carrots

- 1/2 cup celery, chopped

- 3.5 tbsp honey

- 1.5 tbsp dijon mustard

- 1 tsp dried parsley

- salt to taste

- black pepper to taste

- 2 tbsp cornstarch

to make: mix soy sauce and chicken, and set aside. lightly grease 4 ramekins, and set aside (you could also put this in a pie dish w/ pie crust if you want a full sized pie... i prefer the minis).

preheat oven to 350 degrees. saute onion, garlic, potato, and celery in olive oil over medium heat until soft but not yet brown. turn heat to medium-high, and add chicken, sauting until chicken is cooked through. stir in chicken broth, carrots, honey, mustard, parsley, salt, and pepper. mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry and add to the pan. cook until the sauce has thickened to a gravy-like consistency, stirring frequently and adding more cornstarch if needed.

pour mixture into the ramekins, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 30 minutes. after 30 minutes, remove foil, and cover each ramekin with a sheet of the cresent dough, slicing little vents in the top of the dough for heat to escape. return to oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until toasty. allow to cool before serving as these lil B's are HOT.

YUMMMZ. like a lil mini dose of comfort food. i love the idea of pot pies but never eat them b/c i really hate the veggies in them (peas, green beans, high doses of carrots, massive celery)... this was a perfect hit for a green veggie hater (yes, i understand i can also MAKE pot pie w/o the green veggies, but i've just never -happened- upon one with out it). 7*******.
