This was super easy as I made a few changes. I used the pie crust recipe from Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc cookbook, which uses butter instead of shortening. I bought 2 rotisserie chickens and used only the breast meat. I am not sure that I would use the entire 2-1/2 cups of heavy cream next time, maybe just 2 cups. I had to pour some of it off after I cut the first piece. It does need to set-up for about 30 minutes before you cut into it...it's still very warm! Again, this was super easy and amazingly wonderful! Enjoy!

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
