About

What seems like an honest simple chicken and mushroom pot pie has hidden Chinese delights. Shiitake mushrooms are the twist, along with Chinese five-spice powder. What seems familiar has just a hint of the exotic and it tastes good! I find this real comfort food and if I were ever to relocate to the depths of China, I could take this recipe with me and recreate it and perhaps open up a chain of pubs....
