Stouffer’s (R) frozen food products are a common sight in many food stores across America. In their familiar orange- red boxes, Stouffer’s offers an extensive line of top- quality frozen food products. Besides offering such delectable frozen items as lasagna, macaroni and cheese and salisbury steak, they now also feature a delightful white meat chicken pot pie
The Stouffer’s (R) white meat chicken pot pie is not your average chicken pot pie. It is an exquisitely- flavored product that is as attractive to gaze upon, as it is enjoyable to eat. Although it is roughly the same size as many other brands of chicken pot pies, the Souffer’s chicken pot pie is deceivingly small, in the sense that this product can easily serve as a main- dish for most hungry consumers. Paired with a garden salad and / or some warm crusty bread and butter, this product provides a satisfying dining experience.
A lightly- textured and pleasant- tasting pastry crust not only tops this chicken pot pie, like many other brands, but a full crust completely encases the rich and flavorful innards of this frozen item. When cooked according to package directions, the Stouffer’s white meat chicken pot pie is a wonderful sight to behold. The delicate, flaky crust is baked to a deep, golden- brown hue, exuding a rich and flavorful aroma. The pastry crust tastes faintly of butter, yet butter is not listed as an ingredient. The well- formed texture of this pot pie enables the crust to mix well with the gravy, chicken and vegetables and holds up well.
Upon first glance of the sauce, or gravy in this chicken pot pie, one notes that the color of the gravy is a much lighter shade of yellow, almost yellow- white, than most brands of frozen chicken pot pies. Possessing a subtle and mellow, yet rich flavor that tastes faintly of sherry wine and cheese, although neither ingredient is present, the Stouffer’s white meat chicken pot pie, made with real cream, tastes every bit as good any chicken pot pie to be found in upscale restaurants.
Large pieces of real white meat chicken, not the strange- looking pellets of chicken ingredients that populate many frozen pot pies, are well- represented in Stouffer’s white meat chicken pot pie. Big julienne- cut slices of carrots and equally- large bias- cut slices of celery add dynamic vegetable taste and a nice consistency to this product. Vibrantly- green peas and pieces of onion round out the main ingredients in this chicken pot pie.
The manufacturer of Stouffer’s white meat chicken pot pie recommends that this product only be cooked in conventional or microwave ovens, not in toaster ovens. When cooking this product in a microwave, the recommended method is quite easy and unusual. The user is instructed to remove a pull- tab and perforated strip, leaving one end of the box hanging over, as a flap, of sorts. The user is instructed to fold the open- end flap under the box, while the pot pie remains in the box. Inside the box, is a silver cooking grid, which is atop the pot pie. The pot pie cooks inside of the box. No cutting an incision into the top of the crust, like most pot pies, just pop it in the microwave and heat it until done.
