Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Good flavors, I opted for white pepper and one additional garlic clove. Her note about pan heat causing the filling to thicken too quickly once you add the flour/water mix was great, because that happened to me, and adding water gradually solved it! The cheese in the filling also did an admirable job thickening. I didn’t taste any cheese per se. It was a great standard type of pot pie! My only note is the chicken felt a tad overcooked by the time i was done with the whole process. Just a teeny amount though. And to be completely fair, i think it was because i used tenders which have no forgiveness - but I dock a star (more like a half!) because she does suggest tenders.

    My kids and husband devoured this, and it was easy with a fair amount of veggies.
