This is a recipe that I generated using ChatGPT. The introduction and "touchy/feely" parts are nothing but a fictional, humorous addition requested by me.
I will make this recipe though, soon!

- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken

Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the chicken evenly, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight).

- Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Add the cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the flour to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the flour is lightly browned and fragrant.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add the heavy cream and whisk to combine.
- Add the mixed vegetables and shredded chicken to the skillet, and stir to combine.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Roll out the pie crust and place it in a pie dish. Pour the chicken mixture into the crust.
- Bake the chicken pot pie for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Tikka Masala Chicken Pot Pie!
