Mushrooms, Chicken, and Cream

Tuesday March 18
Some vision of chicken (left-over scraplets thereof) and mushrooms was dancing in our heads. A pasta sauce? No, instead, chicken pot pie without so much pot or pie.
Basically, just sautéed two carrots cut into cubes, a diced onion, then a bunch of asparagus cut on the bias (playing the role of the traditional peas), then the 'shrooms, lots of fresh thyme, and the chicken scraps. But the amounts were looking a tad mingy, so we took a couple of potatoes (now that St. Patrick's is over, they can safely go back to being potatoes), diced them, boiled them up with salt and the thyme sprigs. Now we had too much potatoes, so we put a cup or so aside, added the rest. Then the long awaited glugs of cream. Not a patch on JoDee's chicken pot pie, but just what we had always had in mind.
