Your Sweater May Create A Chuckle But… (December 16 – December 22)

Need a dish for your neighborly pot luck ugly sweater party? Try my savory Christmas Cobbler! Boil a hen and debone it. Another fast option is to purchase roasted hen in the market. Just debone it to reserve the meat. In a pot on the stove, add a half stick of butter to sauté 1 cup of sliced mushrooms. Add ¼ cup of flour and stir. Slowly add 2/3 cup of chicken stock and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Add the small pieces of chicken, a pinch of chopped rosemary, salt, fresh cracked pepper, and a pinch of finely diced pimentos. Stir and pour the mixture into a heat resilient dish that you wish to take to the party. Top the chicken cobbler mixture with slices of pie crust dough to form a lattice work design, hence Christmas Cobbler. Then, use a cookie cutter to cut pie crust holly leaves. Bake the Cobbler until the lattice work and holly leaves are golden (with an enhanced egg wash). Remove the Chicken Cobbler and place tiny lignonberries between the holly leaf clusters and you are off to the party. Just warm your Chicken Cobbler in the microwave, just prior to being served. This attractive main course will offset any compromise that you have humored yourself into by over-dressing for the sweater prize. © Kelly McBride Loft
