Рецепт Mexican Chicken Pot Pie

As much as I love Chicken Pot Pie, I was looking to kick things up and bring some new flavors to this old family favorite.  And old is an appropriate word.  Pot Pies have a history going back to ancient Greece.  The Greeks cooked meats mixed with all manner of other ingredients in open pastry shells.  These were called Artocreas. The Romans took this recipe and added a top to the pastry crust thereby making it a fully enclosed meat pie.  In the States, the pie had a surge of popularity in the 19th Century when a pot pie featuring robins was introduced.  As settlers moved westward, they took their pot pie recipes with them.  Now chicken pot pies and their meat variations are widely popular all over the country.
