1

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Cook the rice.

While the rice is cooking, heat the oil in a large sauté pan. Add the diced chicken and sear until golden brown all over and cooked through. Add the orange juice and soy sauce. Cook another minute.

Add the Swiss chard and cook to wilt.

In a bowl, combine the chicken, chard, scallions, mixed veggies, kimchi and cooked rice. Toss to coat.

Then place the remaining crust on top of the pie. Trim the excess overhang and crimp the edges. Cut slits in the top for ventilation. Place in the oven for 45 minutes, until golden brown.

There's chicken pot pie, then there's KOREAN chicken pot pie. Pony up. Every now and then, nothing hits the spot more than a good ole chicken pot pie. A pipin' hot pie crust blanketing a cozy cave of chicken and veggie gravy goodness. But then I made this Korean Chicken Pot Pie, and I just may be a convert. Serious talk. I didn't create this amazingness. Oh no. I saw it on Kimchi and Meatballs and almost fell on my face. The idea of packing two buttery pie crusts with not only chicken and veggies, but RICE and KIMCHI and SCALLIONS and SWISS CHARD? Are you kidding? No. No, I'm not. I tweaked it just a tad because that's just who I am. I'll also tell you this – with it being rice-heavy, there isn't as much gravy. But I think it's legit in this situation. It's bright yet comforting. Filling, yet leaves you eager for more. Dang. Now I want more.
