Not just your average pot pie, this dish is full of flavor and so wonderfully comforting on a cold winter night! Add whatever vegetables you have on hand, almost any will do. I served this with a simple salad of soft butter lettuce with a lemon and olive oil vinaigrette and a Pinot Noir in front of the fire! This makes a large, deep dish pie, or two, regular pies.

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to your pot pie. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it's cooked through but still tender. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the vegetables and chicken without being too runny.
Use a good quality pie crust. A good quality pie crust will make your pot pie taste even better. You can either make your own pie crust or buy one from the store.
Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown. This will ensure that the crust is cooked through and the filling is hot and bubbly.
