Nanny's Maryland Chicken Pudding image

Meat pies and puddings are strictly English in origin. I've known about this recipe all of my adult life - it was one of my grandmother's oldest recipes dating back to the early days when she first got married. It takes a little time but is so well worth it. It is the best chicken dinners I've ever eaten!

I'm not a fan of chicken pudding, but my husband loves it. I made this recipe for him and he said it was the best chicken pudding he's ever had. I guess I'll have to give it another try.

This is my go-to recipe for chicken pudding. It's always a crowd-pleaser, and it's so easy to make. I love that I can use leftover chicken, which makes it a great way to use up leftovers.

This recipe is a great base, but it's also very versatile. I added some chopped carrots and peas to the sauce, and it was delicious. I also used a puff pastry crust instead of a pie crust, and it turned out perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken pudding turned out dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had a rotisserie chicken that I needed to use up, and this dish was the perfect solution. The chicken pudding was delicious and my family loved it.

I'm not a fan of celery, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish still turned out great! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and smooth.
