The Best Pot Pie You Will Ever Eat

Submitted by Annie The Granny

"This pot pie is one I make often in the fall and winter when we are looking for something warm and comforting for our tummies. We love it so much that I have to double the recipe every time I make it, because the first bite will have you asking for more! Creamy, wonderful blend of flavors, and comforting to the soul, this one is a favorite and crowd pleaser!"

This really is fabulous, even without the pastry it would be a marvellous chicken sauce for enjoying over rice, even with pasta. very easily prepared, this made a really good dinner, and my DH insists the leftovers are for HIS lunch today! :) lots of tasty vegetables, I used the liquid I cooked the chicken and vegetables in, to make the chicken stock. A great recipe, thanks for sharing, Annie! <br/>This recipe was made for My 3 Chefs Event.
