COUNTRY CHICKEN SWEET POTATO TOP PIE
There is nothing better than watching mum or dad pull that great smelling pie out of the oven on a cold winter night. By avoiding the pastry you don't get that huge intake of saturated fat. On top of this there are a number of great vegetables inside and a great substance of carbohydrate in the sweet potato. But I couldn't avoid a family favorite.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place chicken on top then sprinkle with one teaspoon of salt and drizzle over one tablespoon of olive oil and cook in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender.
- Remove from the oven, discard skin and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Using two forks, shred the meat making sure it is still chunky; set aside.
- Add the remaining oil to a medium saucepan on high heat. Brown the onion and garlic before adding the carrots, celery and leek.
- Once browned, add the chicken and stir for one minute before deglazing with the stock.
- Next add the white wine vinegar, pepper, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf and remaining salt. Turn the heat to low, cover and allow to simmer for 30 to 40 minutes or until stock has reduced.
- Meanwhile, in another saucepan, add the sweet potato and cover with water. Bring to a boil on high heat, before turning to medium heat and allowing to cook for a further 6 to 8 minutes, or until a knife pierces flesh easily.
- Drain sweet potato and allow to dry out for 2 minutes before putting in a blender with the almond milk and processing until smooth. Remove and set aside.
- Preheat the broiler to medium/high.
- Spoon the chicken mix into an ovenproof dish, avoiding the thyme, rosemary and bay leaf if possible. Spoon the sweet potato mix on top and spread around evenly to get it smooth. Place under the broiler for 5 minutes or until the top changes color.

OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN POT PIE WITH SWEET POTATO CRUST
The sweet potato gives a lovely orange color to the crust and an unusual flavor to pot pie. A little time-consuming to chop all the vegetables, so you could use already chopped frozen or canned vegetables for the most part (cooked according to package directions) to make it a little quicker and easier. Can be made ahead through step 14 and covered with tinfoil and frozen at that point. Thaw it in the refrigerator when you're ready to cook it, remove tinfoil and follow step 15 for cooking (may take an extra 5-10 minutes to cook through).

Tips:
- For a crispy pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Butter adds flavor, while shortening helps to create a flaky crust.
- Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking.
- Trim the edges of the pie dough with a sharp knife to create a clean, even look.
- Use a fork to crimp the edges of the pie dough to seal it.
- Brush the top of the pie crust with milk or egg wash before baking to create a golden brown crust.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the filling from overcooking.
- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
