Love You Potpies

K, today we begin the countdown to Valentine's Day with this perfect way to treat those you love:
(makes 4 servings)

1 sheet refrigerated pie pastry
1 egg
1 T. heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2" Heart shaped cookie cutter

Filling:
1 T. butter
2 t. EVOO
1 med. red* new* potato, peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes*
2 small carrots, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 small sweet* white onion, finely diced*
1/4 cup celery, finely diced
3 T. flour
1&1/2 cups low sodium* chicken broth
2 cups cubed rotisserie* chicken (12" pieces)
1/3 cup frozen petite* peas
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 t. minced fresh parsley
1/2 t. Johnny's* Garlic Salt
1/8 t. freshly ground pepper
Dried dill*

Preheat oven to 425. On a lightly floured surface, unroll pastry sheet. Cut sixteen hearts with the floured cookie cutter. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk egg and cream; brush over hearts. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 8-10 mins. or until golden brown. For filling: in a large skillet, heat butter and oil over men.-high heat. Add veggies; cook and stir until tender. Stir in flour until blended; gradually whisk in broth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 2 mins. or until thickened. Stir in the remaining ingredients; heat through. Spoon into four 10 oz. ramekins or bowls, sprinkle with dill, and top with pastries. I would serve a wedge salad with ranch dressing topped with bacon crumbles to accompany.

Have FUN today and stay warm. The "high" here in Minnesnowta is predicted to be -2.

Love,
