I think the best way to look at this dish is more as a stew with breadsticks. To me, potpie is covered in a rich and flaky top, and while this is an absolutely delicious stew, it's just not potpie to me. However, don't let that stop you from making this. It's so flavorful, chunky and comforting. My kids gobbled this down and asked for seconds, which means it's definitely going to be a regular at our house!

These are smaller silpats, as you can see by my scientific fork comparison. They are 11 3/4 x 8 1/4, and being smaller practically guarantees that they'll fit into your favorite baking sheet. They are SO wonderful for baking and absolutely nothing sticks to them. I swear by mine, you'll love this!

Teresa! How fun!! I would LOVE something like this! I actually really hate cleaning baking sheets. Anyway, I would love to use these for our APPLESAUCE cookies! They are so delicious, but they always stick to the pan. Thanks!

I've recently started baking macarons and these would be perfect to prevent them sticking to parchment paper!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I'm already subscribed :)
I love my silpat! That size would be perfect for my small cookie pan that I use all the time. I would make cookies, or buns! Hamburger buns!
I'm a subscriber too!

Pot Pie is usually a butt buster, but this recipe actually looks reasonable. Hurray Cooking Light.
I'd love to make some shortbread cookies with this Silpat! I think I'm a subscriber. I follow via Google Reader.
Cookies are a must first. Maybe some chocolate oatmeal kind first. And then some graham crackers because I have an issue with those sticking sometimes. :(
I subscribe already. :)
first, I love the easy peezy pot pie...
and I am now a bread baker (god help me)
so all things bread!
I want these! Great giveaway! We are going to do some chocolate dipping for Valentines Day . . . these would come in super handy then AND in working with fondant!
I just subscribed to your blog!
I just linked this giveaway on my blog!
I'm thinking my kids would enjoy this too. They love foods loaded with veggies.
Hey, thanks for the chance to win! Can I tell you what I WON'T be baking on the silpat? Cookies, ha-ha! I will use it for my toaster oven baking pan and make cinnamon toast. YUM!

I love kid approved recipes!!
Great giveaway. I would make some sort of cookie for sure :)
I'd like to think of this as a pot pie semi-deconstructed. ;-=D Delicious.
The silpat is probably one of the best inventions ever made. I accidentally cut into the other one I had, so now I'm without a silpat. I'd do anything to get another one so that I can make my biscuits once again. Actually I want to try making candy on the thing.
Subscriber right over here too.
I want someone to eat pot pie with. Ben doesn't like it and try as I might, I can't eat a whole one alone...
Love chicken pot pie. It's one of the best cold weather comfort foods around.
I've never seen such cute little silpats. Fun giveaway. Thanks!
Great recipe!
I haven't tried a Silpat yet, but I bake a lot of bread and cookies. I'd love to try a Silpat instead of the parchment paper I currently use.
I am already a subscriber!
The potpie/stew looks great. I love that it has green beans instead of peas & carrots (blech!)
I've really been wishing I had a silpat but too cheap to buy one...ha!
I'm sure I'd put it to good use making some sort of ooey gooey cookies!
Is subscribing the same as following, cause I'm already a follower. I'm a doofus :)
I would use them in baking cookies, which I do often with three kiddos. Thanks for the chance!! :-)

The chicken pot pie looks really yummy!
The potpies look hearty and delicious! And I love how easy they are. I've never used a silpat before! I would make cookies! I'm craving PB ones.
I'm a loyal and happy follower!
I tweeted it for you!
I am going to have to try that recipe - it sounds so good! And maybe I would be able to get Brooklyn to eat it too - which would then make it a regular meal here :)
And I would make cookies using the silpat :)
Sometimes you just need a fast recipe, and I'm betting this one will work great in a pinch!
I've been wanting to get a Silpat forever so I can try making macarons. I don't know why, but I feel like I have to have one to try them!
I freeze cookie dough so that I can make a few at a time. That way we have warm cookies anytime we want, but don't eat too many! Those little silpats would be absolutely perfect! Thank you for this!
I am a new follower, too!
Oh cool! I love that. I would love to bake a free-form bread. Or try my hand on southern biscuits!
Love your speedy chicken pot pie..I have frozen puff pastry that will work, too!

I use silpat nearly every day. I make pie crust on it, cookies, you name it!

I just want to say Thank You for the great Chicken Pot Pie recipe. I've never made it, but this I think I can handle. Of course, I would LOVE the silpat!
Your pot pie recipe looks yummy, and its such a timesaves to start with a rotisserie chicken.
Love the smaller silpats. I have a large one that only fits my biggest cookie sheets.
The silpat mats are exactly what I need for making some fussy french macaroons. Ive wanted to try the recipe but I's so afraid they would stick. I'd Love to win! Thanks.

The little pot pies look so tasty - I love that they are only 7 points.
I would use the silpat mats for cookies of course! :)
I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THESE! I don't have any, and would love to ry them with...everything!
This dish looks awesome! I love the idea of a faster version of potpie. Plus you can totally play around with the veggies and seasonings and create new versions each time (a mexican-ish version would be fun).
GREAT giveaway. I've always wanted to try these. I would use it for my granola and a cookie recipe that I have that is super sticky!
I'm glad I stumbled upon your beautiful blog! I'm having a giveaway too!
First cookies, then meatballs, then more cookies. Otherwise I never make cookies.
