Chicken Pot Pie
Savory pot pies are fall favorites in New England, and this recipe was a particular favorite of the students at the Ross School in New York. You can make this a day ahead (it tastes better after a night in the refrigerator). It’s simple to prepare, but if you know you’re going to be short on time it’s best to put it all together the night before, minus the biscuits, of course, which are tastiest hot out of the oven. If you’re sending this to school, put it in a wide-mouth vacuum bottle and serve the biscuit on the side.
