This was so yummy!! I actually made it in to mini pot pies using a muffin tin. They were perfect size for my kids, who really liked it. I just halved the recipe and used a 4 inch round cutter for the bottom and a 3 inch round for the top and cut it out of the store-bought pie crust. I also brushed the tops with an egg wash.

Awesome recipe! We just modified it to make a turkey pot pie and it was by far the best pot pie I have ever had in my life. We will definitely be making this again!

Phenomenal! Halved the ingredients to make one deep pie as well. I didn't use as much flour either because I noticed the filling to be too thick so I used extra broth to compensate. This was delicious:)

This was great! The first pie was wonderful, and we had the other one last night.... cooked that one for an hour at 425 with no temp change and it came out fine!

Best Chicken Pot Pie!! Very creamy and hearty. Recipe was easy to follow. Freezes very well!! Have made with chicken and also with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. Will make this again and again!!

Also, I added a bit extra pepper and salt while mixing before putting everything in the pies. It was to dull down the overpowering thyme, which did help prior to baking. It was strong after, obviously.

This was great, except I felt it called for a bit too much thyme so I will make it with less next time. But otherwise it was delicious.

I have been making this recipe for years. Definitely one of my favorites. Love having one in the freezer for later.

This was my first time making a homemade pot pie. It turned out great! I halved the recipe and made one deep dish pie and had no leftover filling. The only change I will make is to use a little bit more chicken broth for the gravy, mine ended up just a little too thick (even before the boiling/thickening stage).

First time I ever made a Chicken Potpie. It was excellent. My husband and kids enjoyed it and want me to make it all the time. Thank you for sharing.

I made this on 1-3-13 and it was delicious. I cut the recipe in half and only made one pie, as I was unsure if it would turn out & it tasted great!

This turned out so good! I did a few things different though...I used 3/4 cup flour, and I bought a premade rotisserie chicken from the store and used that. Also, instead of using a crust, I baked it for 45 minutes then top it with unrolled cresent rolls and baked until the cresent rolls were golden. Mmmm so good! Will def make again

We also had enough filling for a third pie. We found that the crust browned before the bottom crust was done cooking, but we rather enjoyed the creaminess it added. If we make it again we would likely cut the thyme in half and add a second seasoning. It was just a lot of the same flavor.

This was so good. I can't wait to make the second one thats in the freezer. I would put less thyme in it, if any. But I will be making this again.

Reviewed on Oct. 26, 2012 by rdrakester

Very good! I make mine a little easier by using either a bag of frozen mixed veggies or 2-3 cans of mixed veggies. I also use only 2/3 c. each butter & flour and make my own chicken broth with Better than Bullion. I also add a little bit of sage to my filling for we like the flavor (1/4 tsp) and less pepper since DH doesn't care for it. We like more peas, carrots & corn and less potatoes in ours. Very good though and may use it again.

This was one of the best chicken pot pie recipes I've ever used! My daughter loves pot pies, and this one had a real chicken broth gravy and was seasoned just right and really brought the flavors out of the chicken and the vegetables. I will definitely make this again. Plus, it was nice to have an extra to freeze for a future dinner!

Reviewed on Oct. 24, 2012 by Cpugs

I cut up the chicken in cubes and sauteed it in some olive oil and sprinkled a little Adobo on it. Once I added the broth to the recipe I also added about a teaspoon full of chicken base to the sauce (Better Than Bouillon). Also I did have to add a little bit extra broth to help thin the filling out a little bit. My family and friends loved this!!!

This was crazy easy to make!! I found though that it filled THREE regular pie shells. Probably two deep dish ones. Reheats beautifully and the seasoning is perfect!!

Reviewed on Oct. 14, 2012 by parksville

Really, really good. Used 1/2 cup ea of butter & flour as recommended. Did not have frozen corn so substituted sauted mushrooms & celery and did not use a bottom crust. Poured a portion of it (kept remainder for another day) into an 8-1/2 x 9 dish, covered w/ one rolled out sheet of puff pastry, sprinkled w/ minced fresh parsley & paprika, baked @ 375 for 70 min. 6 servings - our guests went back for seconds! Great w/ double cheese bread & spinach salad. A keeper!

Absolutely the best chicken pot pie ever. I make this often and use whatever veggies I have on hand and it always turns out great. I use store bought crusts to speed the process and usually only make one pie and use the extra filling as either gravy on top of the pie or on biscuits or toast later. Excellent recipe!

This has been a family favorite since I first made it when I received this issue of Quick Cooking. We have 6 children, so both pies would go in a single meal when all the kids were home! Now I can usually freeze one for later--unless some of my sons find out I'm making this & decide to come home for supper that night! I substitute 2 cups of frozen corn for the peas as my husband hates most vegetables. I've also made it with only the potatoes & onions. And, I use 1 tsp. of poultry seasoning instead of thyme because I don't like the flavor of thyme. My youngest daughter made it on her own for her 13th birthday because I only had the use of one arm at that time--I talked her through it & she was very proud of the compliments she received!

Seriously, only use half the butter it calls for (1/2 cup instead of 1 cup) it is still plenty rich and creamy. It was great.

This is the BEST! I did cut back the butter by 1/2 a stick. I usually double this and make two 9 x 13 pans using homemade pie crust. I also just use frozen carrots and skip the potatoes due to a family allergy, but it does speed the process up a little bit :)

This is really yummy comfort food. I've made it twice now & my 4 kids love it. I usually make my own pie crust but I used the store bought to save time and couldn't believe how good this was (and easy).

I have done it and I am not so happy, it has called a lot of butter and flour so it has strong flour taste and very rich.
