I remember Sunday dinners at my grandma's farm. Chicken potpie was probably second in popularity only to chicken and dumplings. I like to collect heritage recipes from my area and hope to compile them someday into a cookbook.

This recipe was delicious. I was having company, so I doubled it and added 2 cups frozen corn and put in a 9x13 dish. They all raved about how tasty it was.

Excellent. Filling, and satisfying for a family meal. I would love to try the chicken and dumpling recipe that the sumitter says was her grandma's number one meal.
