There is lots of room to make changes. I switched the gravy for mushroom soup (ran out of time). We like it with extra peas, and celery salt instead of normal salt. We will make a double batch next time, it ran out quickly!
This is a healthy version of chicken pot pie. The filling is very tasty. I found the potato and cheese topping okay, but lacking that crunch/crispy factor. Maybe broiling it longer would do the trick, I'm not sure. The cheese browned properly but the potatoes made it mushy. I think I might broil the potatoes shreds alone before adding it to the casserole. Also, the potato shreds brown very quickly (about the time it takes to shred one potato). Leave this step until the very end and be sure to shred the cheese beforehand.
My husband is not a big chicken fan - but this recipe is a big hit with him....which means it's a great hit with me!
