Chicken pot pie….mmm…. It is the ultimate comfort food, right?
Over the years I have had a many chicken pot pies, homemade, restaurant, and even from the frozen section of the grocery store! Some were really good, some were not…..
I started making my own years ago, and the recipe has morphed over the years to what I am sharing with you today.
I make the crust from scratch, using this recipe, because why not? It really is quick and easy, and adds such incredible flavor! It is totally worth the effort!
As for the filling, I really just wing it, but I’ll share the basic recipe with you. As with any comfort food, play with the seasonings some, adjust to your taste.
I always make individual pies, in small dishes, 4-6 inches wide and 1 1/2-2 inches deep. You can make this in a standard 9-11 inch pie plate if you want.
