Chicken ala King Risotto Pot Pie

Question

Do you feel it is better to have a layer of risotto and then the chicken and gravy on top OR do you feel it's better just to mix the chicken, gravy and risotto all together in the pie?

Bravo, Stuart.  What a great looking fall dish. Would love to see the recipe!  (Please.)  ;o)

These look yummy Stuart, and a wonderful winter comfort dish!  Partial blind bake was a great idea, too. Can you post the recipe on Food52?

Gammy, Thank you for your great advice ! I did make the pie with a bottom crust and did a par blind bake. Really, turned out great and was a hit !

I definitely like your idea of a layer of risotto on the bottom. Assuming a 2 crust pot pie, the risotto would thicken a bit, adding a wonderful bottom texture to the pot pie.  With a single top crust pie, the risotto might form a bit of a crust on the bottom.  Adding the risotto to the chicken and gravy would make it just chicken rice pot pie, wouldn't it?
