Mashed Potato Topped Chicken Pot Pie

Not your average pot pie. Simple to make and good for left overs. DH and DS gave rave reviews, I even got an "Its delicious" which is music to my ears. Feel free to use any left over veggies you may have, works well with corn, green beans, peas and carrots. My version of this is NOT diet. : - )
