Leaky Chicken Pot Pie

Today for Food Friday I'm going to give you a recipe for a new twist on a comfort food favorite - Pot Pie!

My family loved this unconventional pot pie recipe that I adapted from Under the High Chair.  It's an easy one to make and only takes about an hour!  It's a good use of leftover chicken, too, if you're the sort to clean a chicken roast and freeze the leftovers.

Shopping List:
1 lemon
3 leeks
small carton of heavy cream or whipping cream
ground chicken (or you can use leftover shredded chicken from a roast!)

From the Pantry:
garlic
butter
chicken stock
tarragon or other dried herbs
frozen peas and carrots
salt and pepper
pie crust

Here's the recipe!  Enjoy!
