A couple years ago, I competed in a competition called the Gourmoo Cookoff in LA, California. It was a Chopped style cook-off using lactose free products and sponsored by Lactaid milk. I cooked in 4 timed rounds and had to prepare an appetizer, side dish, entree, and dessert. Unfortunately, I didn’t win the competition but I did win the entree round with my Harvest Chicken Pot Pies! So of course with the holidays around the corner I wanted to share this delicious- and fun- recipe with y’all today! I’m sure it’ll be a winner in your home too!
 
Watch my cook-off video below and then check out this delicious recipe!
