2-5 hrs
ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter or margarine, cut up
7 tablespoons cold water
1 pound Italian sausage links, sliced
1 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (35 ounce size) whole tomatoes in juice
3 pounds Swiss chard
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
cooked zucchini
directions
For Parmesan pastry, pulse flour, the 2/3 cup Parmesan, and the salt in a food processor to blend. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles course crumbs.
Sprinkle 5 tablespoons water over mixture. Pulse, adding remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons water if necessary, just until mixture is moistened and begins to hold together (dough should still be crumbly).
Gather dough into a disk. Cut in half and shape into two disks. Wrap disks and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until browned.
Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Discard excess drippings. Increase heat to high and add chicken to skillet. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, turning chicken occasionally until lightly browned.
Add onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until tender. Add tomatoes and juice. Bring to a boil, breaking up tomatoes with a spoon, then reduce heat and simmer 7 to 8 minutes more. Add sausage and cool.
Meanwhile, heat oven to 375 degrees F. Trim stems from chard and coarsely slice leaves and stems.
Bring 1/2 cup water, chard stems and leaves to a boil in large pot. Cover and cook for 9 to 10 minutes until stems are tender.
Drain in a colander, pressing out excess liquid with a spoon. Stir chard into cooled chicken-sausage mixture. Divide mixture between two 2-quart baking dishes. Divide and sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan over tops of filling.
Roll each pastry disk so it extends 1 inch beyond edge of each baking dish. Place pastry on top of each dish, pressing pastry against side of dish to seal in filling. Cut 2 slits in center of each.
Bake pot pies for 40 to 45 minutes until tops are golden and filling is bubbly.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
