That's a new idea. Chicken pot pie is one of the DH's favorite things.

Sometimes I like to make chicken gumbo for variety, but I cannot handle hot, spicy foods. So I used chicken thighs and Klement's snack sticks, which are spicy but don't burn my mouth.

We are all experienced cooks here, so I'll just give a brief recipe. The secret is in how you handle the lemon.

saute onion, garlic, green pepper celery

brown chicken, cut sausage in pieces. Add 1/2 cup water? Use your judgment.

prepare a lemon. grate the peel and toss it in. remove all the pith you can. chop up flesh, saving the juice

after a while, add chopped okra,

cook gently till chicken is done.

10 mins before serving, add the lemon

5 minutes before service, stir in some dried thyme

let guests salt their own at the table

Either serve like a stew or serve with rice on a plate.
