    Italian Pot Pie with Parmesan-Cheese Crust

    Ingredients
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    3/4 cup butter or margarine, cut up
    6 to 7 tablespoons cold water
    1 pound Italian sausage links, sliced
    1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch
    chunks
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 35-ounce can whole tomatoes in juice
    3 pounds Swiss chard
    2 to 4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    Cooked zucchini


    Recipe



    Directions
    1. For Parmesan pastry, pulse flour, the 2/3 cup Parmesan, and the salt
    in food processor to blend. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles
    course crumbs. Sprinkle 5 tablespoons water over mixture. Pulse, adding
    remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons water if necessary, just until mixture is
    moistened and begins to hold together (dough should still be crumbly).
    Gather dough into a disk; cut in half and shape into two disks. Wrap
    disks and refrigerate 30 minutes.

    2. Meanwhile, heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add
    sausage; cook 3 to 5 minutes, until browned. Transfer to bowl with a
    slotted spoon. Discard excess drippings. Increase heat to high; add
    chicken to skillet and cook 3 to 5 minutes, turning chicken
    occasionally, until lightly browned. Add onion; cook 3 to 4 minutes,
    until tender. Add tomatoes and juice; bring to a boil, breaking up
    tomatoes with a spoon, then reduce heat and simmer 7 to 8 minutes more.
    Add sausage and cool.

    3. Meanwhile, heat oven to 375 degrees F. Trim stems from chard and
    coarsely slice leaves and stems. Bring 1/2 cup water, chard stems and
    leaves to a boil in large pot. Cover and cook 9 to 10 minutes, until
    stems are tender. Drain in colander, pressing out excess liquid with a
    spoon.

    4. Stir chard into cooled chicken-sausage mixture; divide mixture
    between two 2-quart baking dishes. Divide and sprinkle 2 tablespoons
    Parmesan over tops of filling.

    5. Roll each pastry disk so it extends 1 inch beyond edge of each baking
    dish. Place pastry on top of each dish, pressing pastry against side of
    dish to seal in filling. Cut 2 slits in center of each. Bake pot pies 40
    to 45 minutes, until tops are golden and filling is bubbly. Makes 6
    servings per pot pie.
