Home-Style Chicken Potpie
I served this potpie along with chili on Super Bowl Sunday. No one ate the chili. In fact, one of my husband's single friends called the next day and asked for the leftover pie.—Darlene Claxton, Brighton, Michigan

I made this recipe the other day with a leftover crock pot chicken. To the recipe I added some potatoes, as well as a few spices, basil, oregano, parsley, pepper, and garlic. Instead of making an other pot dirty, I made my cream sauce with milk mixed in to the flour and slowly whisked it into the veggies as they were cooking. This was a VERY tasty meal with the kidlets asking for seconds and not complaining when I served the leftovers for lunch the following day:) A Keeper For Sure!:)
This is why I joined this site.... just had to rate this great recipe! Wonderful. I made the crust in the food processor. I used fat free half and half, but I had to use a bit more flour, to thicken the filling. I will make this often. Thank you!
This is a fantastic pot pie recipe- love that it makes a 9x13 dish. I added 2 red potatoes, an onion (sautéed with the rest of my veggies) and also used 1/2 & 1/2 instead of heavy cream. This comes together quickly and the dough really is easy to work with- I used my hands rather than a rolling pin. I did notice that my dough was dry, so I had to add an extra 1/4 c. of water- this may be due to my high elevation as no one else has commented on it. Try it- you'll love it!
This is delicious. I made a mistake with the filling (I had doubled it but ended up putting in 10 Tbsp butter instead of 12 - didn't hurt anything!) so it was just a little soupy. I did substitute half and half for the heavy cream, so that might have something to do with the consistency. I had enough filling to put in the 9x13 pan and a 8"square pan, too. The pastry is easy to make and work with (I used my food processor) and very tender after it's baked. My picky husband even had seconds!
This is is really good. Most of the time I make biscuits for the topping. Everyone loves it.
Sooo good, make this all the time, best pot pie Ive ever had! I usually double the filling recipe because it goes quick!
Really tasty. I used 1/2 and 1/2 instead of whipping cream and it was still plenty rich. perfect for a cold fall day!
