Deep Dish Chicken Pot Pie

OCMom1's Note:

Low Fat and ligher in calories version from the Kraft recipes and I posted it here when I couldn't find a similar one to save for myself. It was simple and quick to make, you could even make the filling ahead of time and then assemble with crust and bake on night for a good week night dinner. Recipe calls for thawing vegetables but mine were mixed in straight from the freezer and it came out just fine.

Oh my gosh is this delicious! Rich and creamy and so easy to throw together for a weeknight meal. The only change I made to this one was to use leftover turky so I really had a Deep Dish Turkey Pot Pie but we will have this with chicken soon too.

I make this every once in a while and it's nice and easy and pretty tasty. Sometimes, I use ground chicken or turkey instead of chicken breasts.
