When I find myself too busy to cook, it’s usually because I don’t have the time to grocery shop. Also, being able to get to a farmers market or organic grocery store takes a lot of time and effort out of my day. Well, today I am sharing my secret on how I am so busy, but still manage to make delicious, healthy and organic recipes.
I owe it all to my recent discovery of Door to Door Organics.
Door to Door Organics partners with local farmers and grocers to bring organic produce and Good Food products right to your door! It’s basically like going to a farmers market and having the food delivered to you once a week without ever having to leave your couch.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Pick your box size (Bitty, Small, Medium and Large) with an option to choose Fruits, Veggies, Mixed or Local produce. Bitty is more than enough for 2 people.
Step 2: Add any additional Good Food grocery items to your order from the Door to Door Organics Shop. They have everything you’d find at Whole Foods.
Step 3: Enter your zip code to see what days Door to Door Organics delivers to your area. They package your items into 100% recyclable, reusable, Sustainable Forestry Initiative certified boxes (as if they couldn’t get more awesome). Insulated materials will keep your dairy and meats cool if you’re not home at the time of the delivery!
Step 4: Use code EVERYTHINGERICA so that you’ll be able to receive $10 off your first order!
The reason I felt so compelled to write about this is because of the delicious chicken pot pie croissant pizza I made using the ingredients from my last box. I ordered the Bitty Mixed Box and I received leeks, tomatoes, spinach and an onion from a local farm (among a few other things). I also added some lightly breaded Applegate Chicken and Immaculate Baking Company crescent rolls to my order.
I thought it would be really fun to create something flakey and savory using the farm fresh ingredients as my inspiration. Since it’s summer, I didn’t want to make anything too heavy so I came up with an Chicken Pot-Pizza. Using the whole crescent roll as the base of the pizza, I added some basic ingredients to make a different version of chicken pot pie!
Check it out.
Chicken Pot Pie Deep Dish Pizza (Thanks to Door to Door Organics)
Ingredients
- 1 Leek roughly chopped
- ½ Onion diced
- 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp Salt
- ¼ cup Cream
- ½ cup Chicken Stock
- 8 ct Crescent Rolls
- 1 Egg for egg wash
- 12 Lightly Breaded Applegate Natural Chicken
- 1 Tomato diced
- 2 cups Spinach chopped
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
- Basil for garnish
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a skillet, heat the onion over medium low heat in some olive oil. Once softened, sprinkle onions with salt and garlic powder. Continue to cook until caramelized.
- Once onions are caramelized, add the chicken stock, ¼ cup of parmesan cheese and cream to the leek and onion mixture. You’ll want to let this thicken for about two minutes over low heat.
- While your mixture is thickening,heat the chicken to the directions on the packaging.
- Roll out the crescent rolls onto a greased tart pan, small baking sheet or pizza stone, you’ll want to cover the bottom and roll the pastry over the sides of the dish. Poke holes with a fork and wipe with the egg wash.
- After the chicken is done, you’ll pop in the pastry for about 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Pull the pastry out and and poke some holes again with a fork.
- While the pastry is cooking, dice up the chicken and add to the leek filling, tomatoes and spinach all into a large bowl. You’ll want to mix everything together really nicely since you want every ingredient in every bite!
- Place your filling on top of your par-baked puff pastry, top with the other ¼ cup of parmesan cheese and brush the top crust with the egg wash!
- Bake for another 7 minutes, you’ll start to see the top get crispy and then let it cool for about 5 minutes. Top with basil and serve!
