Coach House chicken pot pie recipe

Question

I had an old recipe for this, which is lost. I've googled in vain. Does anyone have a recipe for this? It may be an old Gourmet Magazine or New York Times recipe, if that helps. Thanks!

I have a recipe for "Coach Wheel Chicken Pie" that's an old family favorite. It's sounds like the recipe you describe - very rich filling with vegetables (carrots, celery, mushrooms broiled in butter...) The crust is made from pinwheel biscuits with cheddar cheese and pimento in the center. It's absolutely delicious. I was looking to see if there was a version online and found your comment.

Yes, that restaurant. I think I can try to reverse engineer this recipe a bit. You're amazing. Thanks for the help!

PS The NYC restaurant? There's a version at oneperfectbite.blogspot.com It has enough detail about what's been modified so you could recreate or approximate the original.

It's a scratch recipe-- chicken and broth, vegetables, crust-- rich filling. Not very precise, alas. I've looked online extensively, using a variety of search terms, to no avail. My hope was that someone might have the exact, old, recipe.
Thanks, Nancy.

What, besides where maybe published, distinguishes this recipe? So we'll know it's the right one when we see it.
