Eclair Squares from Jami

Jami said, "I just got this recipe from a friend and tried it out last night. It is really easy and tastes JUST like an eclair."

Boil: 1 c. water and 1/2 c. butter
Add: 1 c. flour - remove from heat and beat with a spoon
Add: 4 eggs - beat in one at a time until well mixed
Spray a 15x10 jelly roll pan with Pam and spread mix on top. It will be really thin. Cook at 400 degrees for 23 minutes. Let cool.
Mix: 4 oz. of cream cheese (at room temperature) with 2 tbls milk.
In a separate bowl mix a small vanilla instant pudding with 1 1/2 c. milk with a wire whisk. Combine cream cheese with pudding mixture.
Fold in 8 oz. of whipping cream (NOT cool whip).
Spread on cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour. Drizzle Magic Shell (ice cream topping) over the top and refrigerate 5 minutes more till set.

Chicken Pot Pie from Jami

6 Tbls. butter
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp thyme
6 Tbls flour
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 C. cooked, chopped chicken
1 large carrot, sliced and cooked
1/2 c. cooked peas
1 double crust pie shell
3-4 red potatoes, chopped and cooked

Cook butter, salt, thyme, flour, and pepper in a large pot until bubbly. Remove from heat and add chicken broth and cream to sauce. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick. Remove from heat. Add cooked chicken and vegetables to sauce. Put one crust into a 9 or 10 inch pie plate (deep dish works best). Pour mix into a pastry shell (it will be heaping) and put the second crust on top. Cut top to vent. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 25-40 minutes.
