Skillet Chicken Mushroom Pot Pie

I stumbled upon this skillet chicken mushroom pot pie recipe while I was reading the local newspaper at work one day last week. I have made a chicken pot pie before and it was a big hit with my family. I like this recipe because it uses rotisserie chicken meat, which I find very tasty and convenient to use. It also consists of fresh vegetables like shiitake mushrooms, onions, carrots and peas. The vegetables were first sauteed in butter and then flour, paprika, stock, sherry and milk were added to make a creamy sauce. The chicken and frozen peas were added last. Instead of rolled pastry, the chicken and vegetable mixture was then covered with slices of bread and then baked in the oven until bubbly and breads are golden in color. The result was a creamy and tasty dish that my family and I enjoyed. It was a delicious and comforting dish to have on a cold rainy night. This skillet chicken and mushroom pot pie is a complete meal on its own and one dish that I will definitely make again and again. Enjoy!
