“When it comes to savory baking, I love to go for a comfort food that reminds me of my childhood,” says Emmy-winning chef and TV host Lara Lyn Carter. She gives home cooks permission to forgo the peas and carrots and put a new spin on classic pot pie.
For added comfort, she adds just the right amount of cheese, an ingredient that is always on hand in her refrigerator, plus her favorite olive oil, fresh from Georgia Olive Farms.
Chicken & Portabella Pot Pie
Yields: 4 to 6 servings
nonstick cooking spray
4 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 cups sliced portabella mushrooms

1 cup chicken broth
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
1 tsp herbes de Provence
1 large egg
1 cup almond flour
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp fine sea salt
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray large cast-iron skillet with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
