Chicken pot pie with all the comforting flavors we love, but this version is lightened up with light and airy popovers instead of a crust. Delicious meal for any time of year.

Instructions
Cream Sauce
- Melt butter in saucepan on medium high. Once, melted, whisk flour into butter until smooth and free of lumps. Gradually add milk and continue stirring until the sauce thickens. Add pepper and bouillon. Turn to simmer and continue to stir so a film doesn’t form on the top.
CHICKEN FILLING
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Get ahead start of the cooking process by microwaving potatoes and carrots on high setting for 6 minutes. Sauté the onion and celery in a non-stick pan until onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Add peas, meat, and microwaved ingredients to the onion and celery.
- Fold in white sauce and put in a casserole dish. Place in heated oven for 20 minutes or until bubbly.
POPOVERS
- Preheat oven to 425°FBlend ingredients in a blender until smooth. Traditionally, popovers are baked in a custard cup or special popover pan. I used a regular muffin pan. Grease generously, and put muffin pan in the oven for 2 minutes.
- Remove pan and fill with batter half way. Put in oven and let the popovers puff for 20 minutes. Don’t be tempted to open the oven. It needs to stay hot!
- After 10 minutes, reduce the heat to 350°F and cook an additional 10 minutes. Popovers will be puffy and golden brown.
Notes
- Serving size will vary depending on how many popovers you use per serving. Usually one is plenty, but use two for a heartier meal. You can double the filling if you are feeding a hungry crowd otherwise you will have leftover popovers that are delicious plain.
- Lower the carbs by replacing the flour with cream cheese in the sauce. Add 1 ounce of cream cheese. Adjust to your preference in consistency.
