Laura's Chicken Pot Pie

Submitted by ransomedbyfire

"I invited my mother over for a belated Mother's Day dinner tonight. She had asked for pot pie, and I wanted to make the chicken really tender for her because the has chronic pain in her jaw, similar to arthritis. So, I decided to make some modifications to a Better Homes and Gardens recipe I had for chicken pot pie, and this is what I came up with. It turned out to be some of the best chicken pot pie I've ever made. She took what was leftover home to show it off to all of my family, and I gave her the recipe so she could make it herself."

You could turn this into an upside down sheppards pie for her by putting a layer of mashed potatoes as a bottom crust. I suggested this because some members of my family put their pot pie over mashed & pour extra gravy on top.
