What should I serve with homemade chicken pot pie?!
Answers: I wouldn't serve anything with it. Maybe a really light salad. The beauty of a really good potpie is that it's a one pot meal, everything you need for a meal is included.
A garden salad and white wine, nothing else. A piece of pie for dessert.
I usually don't serve anything with mine, you have your meat, vege, and bread all in one dish, I guess you could serve a fruit salad - or maybe a melon salad.
Usually just a small sald, eveything else you need is in the dish!
Herb dumplings would make a good addition to a chicken pot pie as an interesting alternative to bread.
225g Self Raising Flour
115g Suet
1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Flat-Leaf Parsley
Mix the flour with the suet and a pinch of salt and herbs. Add water a little at a time until you have a soft dough. Roll them into balls which fit easily in to the palm of your hand.
Add them to the pot 15mins before the pie is ready.
Absolutly nothing. It's a one dish meal. But if you want you can do like KFC and add a biscuit on the side.
Me personally I have never chicken pot pie , but my sister-in- law has her's is top with biscuits (ho-made), not caned biscuits. It's really a one dish meal, but you could serve a garden salad with it (made with spinach ins-ted of iceberg lettuce ) for a change of "pace" or maybe some broccoli or even mashed potatoes (even though the ire's cubed potatoes in the pot pie), hey every one loves mashed potatoes ....don't they.
I think a nice spinache leaf salad with nuts, strawberries and a sweet vinegrette would be a good starter, It would be light (while the pot pie is heavy) and give you the sweat you need beforehand. Sip on a nice wine to clear your pallette between the two and serve the pot pie with home made cheddar biscuits. (recipe for salad and biscuits below...both VERY good!) try something new, you won't regret it!
