Tis the season for all things pumpkin, and just because it's currently also the season to watch Hallmark Christmas movies, it doesn't mean that pumpkin should be kicked to the curb.
Today I'm sharing a recipe that's comforting, creamy and so so good. It's a spin on chicken pot pie with tons of flavor.
On cold weather days, this recipe will warm you up and give you all of the comfort food feels. Even the kids will love this one.
The carrots in this recipe are tender with a slight crunch, a much nicer texture than overcooked, mushy carrots. It also makes a great Thanksgiving Eve dinner when prepared ahead.
Here's the recipe.
