I made it last night, following others recommendations.
-half cream, half milk
-bouillion cube (one for the boiled potatoes, one for the the chicken mixture
-upped spices

i also added corn instead of peas.

DELICIOUS! a chicken pot pie like I've never had it before. The wine REALLY makes it, in my opinion. I found the filling to be creamy and refreshing, and though it wasn't as thick or "gluey" like most pot pies I've had, I loved it.

You could definitely sub tofu and make it a veggie treat.

I made this instead of Paula Deen's. Will try hers next time. Maybe it was the red bell pepper, but the entire concoction was way too sweet. Not a hit.

My husband said that this was the best chicken pot pie he had ever had, that being said I used a number of the comments from previous cooks and added flavors from Bobby's recipe to fine tune it. I used jarred red peppers, increased the spices (salt, pepper, tarragon, 1 bay leaf and added 1 bullion cube. I decreased the milk to 1 1/2C and increased the cream to 1 1/2C. I added more veggie's i.e. green beans, pea's carrot's all frozen to save time, yams, mushroom's. Lastly, I used puff pastry that I brushed it with a mixture of butter and olive oil. I also cooked the cut off pieces of pastry brushed with the butter mixture to break into the bowls when I served it. I think this was well worth the effort.

I did have to substitute the red pepper and I used a pablano same measure. It came out great. I have never had it with the sweet red pepper but what I cooked was amazing.

I do not have time to blanch veggies so I used a pea, carrot, and potato frozen mix. I also used jarred roasted red peppers that I chopped. My purpose in making this was to use up Thanksgiving day turkey which was awesome! I also added two bay leaves since I do not have tarragon and a 1/2 tsp thyme.

This was delicious and so easy! I bought a pre-cooked chicken at the store and used a bag of frozen chopped veggies that was in my freezer. I omitted the wine and added 1 cup of chicken broth in its place. Wonderful! This tastes even better as leftovers

"Sweet & Creamy" is what got my attention when I saw this Bobby Flay rerun. The first time I saw it, I elcected not to try it since Bobby won and not the casserole queens. But Sweet and Creamy got my attention this time. My husband bascially said I was wasting my time, it wouldn't be good, frozen pot pie was hard to beat. He has now added it to his favorites that I cook! After 15 years of cooking for him we only have about 7 favorites, so this should say a lot. I used fresh sage b/c I had no tarrgon, it was great!

For all the work this took to make, we rate is just average. The flavor is good, but it's 'sticky'. We followed it to the 'tee'.....and puff pastry is dry. Next tinem we will use pie crust instead of puff pastry.

But overall.....a disappointment.

This recipe is pretty good on it's own, but I felt it was a bit scarce on flavor-so when I read the reviews, I doctored a few things. I am not a fan of buillion, but added a cube to the recipe, used leftover turkey instead of chicken. I also added a bit more fresh cracked black pepper, and because I saw there were some who said it was runny, I used less milk, and more heavy cream-it came out to be a heavenly, smooth consistency! I made my own pastry dough from scratch, and brushed the dough with olive oil...I added more veggies than the recommended amounts, and ditched the peppers. Instead of dried tarragon, I snipped fresh herbs from my garden, and also threw in a bay leaf.
This is a great base for a recipe that can be amended to anyone's taste! The cream base is wonderful-especially with that kick of white wine. I'll be sure to do it again-and I don't even eat meat! I'll have to try it as a veggie-only version too-proof positive that this recipe can stand high on it's own, or you twist it up as much as you want! Yay!!! Enjoy all of your versions and have fun with it!

I've used this recipe several times and always get raves. A keeper....I have also added a bit of home-made chicken stock in place of some of the milk...yum
