Chicken-Pesto Pot Pies

Submitted by Chef mariajane

"Stumped for exciting weeknight meals that can make it to the table quickly? Look no further. This is one of my favorites shortcuts - a store-bought rotisserie chicke ensemble pot pie. To freeze, prepare the pot pies as direcred but don't bake. Wrap individually with plastic wrap, then freeze. When you're ready to cook, unwrap and bake for 30-35 minutes or until filling reaches internal temperature of 160F."
