Is fairly tastey, not to die for in my opinion, mostly like a chicken pot pie....but seemed to create a lot of dirty dishes/pans to complete. Likely will make again at some point.

Tastes just like a chicken pot pie without the crust. Real comfort food at its best. Doubled the recipe and froze the other.
