AUTUMN ESSENTIALS: CHICKEN COTTAGE POTPIE TART

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. Chef's Note: What is it about a potpie that we love so much? Is it the yummy veggies and meat caressed in a velvety sauce? Is it that awesome flaky top? I don't know what it is, but a potpie is nothing but pure comfort food. My first attempt at this dish was to put a potpie filling inside a nice flaky butter pastry crust, but it didn't work. When you cut the pie into sections, the filling oozed out. It tasted good, but visually it was a big mess on the plate. I needed to have a thick filling that would stand up to cutting into sections, and still have that wonderful velvety sauce. My solution was to combine a cottage pie with a potpie, and separate the sauce. I think you'll like what I've come up with.
