NOTES :
This recipe is named "Deep-Dish Leek and Broccoli Pie." The name and instructions were edited to better prepare this stew on biscuit dish.

this recipe was very good. I took shortcuts - that is just chicken breasts, (skinless boneless) and made a 20 minutes broth with it. add the broccoli at the last minute to "steam" it. then made the leek sauce. [PatHanneman (kitpath@earthlink.net)]
