Deep Dish Chicken Pot Pie and It's Not Mama's by Carla

This one is just as good as this one posted here from quite a while back. (Back when all of my pictures had a yellow, red, or green hue to them. So sad.)

It does not constitute a vegetable or a salad!I think this is really all about the potatoes. They were as simple as the fillets, but so full of rich flavor. Of course anything with garlic, butter and cream…
