Yummy!!!!

I survived my three weeks of liquids! And I didn't kill anyone!!! :biggrin2:

My version of a chicken Pot Pie or Chicken and Dumplings...

These food are all soft and were preapproved and cleared by my doctor and nutritionist at my three-week appointment today. YAY!!!

(Oh and yeah, I know it's a lot of food, but I cook in large batches and freeze individual portions for the days I don't want to cook.)

Congratulations!! That meal looks absolutely delicious!! I just had my third fill last week, and right now soft foods are the only thing that agree with me. I have a problem with breads, they seem to make me feel a lot of pressure, so I eat them in moderation.

You look like a wonderful cook, and it is very smart of you to cook a lot and save, I wish I had more time to cook and do the same thing, LOL!!

Congrats again, and I hope you enjoyed your dinner!

Thank you thank you! (/takes a bow)

That's my super-easy cheating chicken pot pie.

Start with a roux, add chicken broth (add an extra boullion cube to make it super-flavorful), a bag of frozen veggies, some cooked chicken breasts, and top with cut up chunks of Grands biscuits.

Not hard, but definitely tasty.

You can also take the same filling idea, but use the pre-rolled pie crust that you find folded in a box in the refrigerated section instead of buscuits. Put a piece of piecrust on the bottom of a baking dish, bake for a 10 minutes in the oven, take out and fill with the chicken filling, add another piece of crust over the top and poke a few holes, back in the oven, and in 35 minutes.... YUMMY!!!

Love it!!

After I made this thread, I decided to post it as a recipe in the recipes section of the board.

Here are step by step instructions, including what a roux is (a mix of flour and fat - like oil or butter), and how to make it come out great:
