This easy Croatian chicken pot pie recipe - kvrgusa - features cubed or sliced white or dark meat chicken enrobed in a pancake-like batter that puffs up like a popover. After a 40-to-50-minute bake, it's topped with sour cream and browned for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. If you're really strapped for time, I think a purchased pancake mix would work fine. This makes a great school-night meal that can be prepped the night before. Allow additional baking time if going straight from the refrigerator to oven.
