I just tried this tonite and it was GREAT! Made it just like you said with all the stuff , no changes. I also made the one with 407+ reviews last week and liked it, but not as well as this one. Very nice change and a breeze to put on the table. My wife and I ate it ALL in one setting!! Yikes! Thank You for a keeper. JimBob

This was a very good and original recipe. We did not use any ricotta cheese, only because no one in my family really cares for it, so we used extra mozzarella and cheddar cheese (no swiss). I left out the peas and thyme b/c in the directions it was left out so I just forgot about those ingredients and it still turned out well, although next time I want to definitely add the peas. When I sauteed the chicken initially, I coated it in some montreal chicken seasoning to add another layer of flavor and I'm glad I did or I think it would have been missing something. I also added a couple cloves of minced garlic to the carrots, mushrooms and onion. Use chicken broth instead of sherry b/c I didn't have any on hand. Definitely a keeper and one you can play around with to suit your own tastes!!

We love pot pie and when I saw this I knew I had to make it for us to try. The kids chowed down on theirs and ate in silence, which means they are too busy eating and liking it to talk! I did made a few changes for our tastes. I didn't use the red pepper, and I used Cheddar cheese instead of Swiss, as I'm not crazy about Swiss cheese. Other than that made like the recipe. We will have again cause when the kids like something, I make it often!

Since I'm new to Zaar, I am having so much fun cooking up a storm. This is one of the recipes I made this past week. The only change I made was I used Cheddar Jack cheese in place of the Swiss cheese and as part of the Mozzarella. This dish was delicious to say the least! Excellent choice. If you love pot pie and you love lasagna, this is the recipe for you! Comfort at its best. It's going into my recipe folder right now! Thanks so much for sharing Libby. Karen
