Chicken pot pie is a savory dish that consists of chicken, vegetables, and gravy in a flaky pie crust. It is the ultimate comfort food for many reasons. It is a hearty and satisfying dish that is perfect for a cold day and it is can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even breakfast. Many people love Chicken pot pie because it brings back happy childhood memories.
For my recipe, I chose to make it simple and easy. I use rotisserie chicken because it cuts down on the cook time which means mealtimes comes a bit faster. I also use ready made pie crust which cuts down on prep time. Homemade pie crust is preferred if you have the time to prepare. To see how I make my pie crust take a look at my apple pie video.
