Chicken Pot Pie

Learn how to make this delicious and easy Chicken Pot Pie from scratch! This is comfort food for any time of year.

I love chicken pot pie. I usually crave chicken pot pie when the fall season rolls around, but I do enjoy it any time of year. I used to buy the ready-made pot pies from the box in the grocery store, but I wanted to learn how to make my own recipe from scratch.

Thinking back to 12 years ago, I remember receiving a homemade chicken pot pie from a friend after my wife had our first baby girl. What a blessing meals are after having a child!

I can still remember the taste of that warm and creamy Chicken Pot Pie, and that’s what got me hooked to eating them on a regular basis.

What is a pot pie?

A pot pie is a type of meat pie.  A basic pot pie consists of a pie crust, poultry or meat, such as turkey or chicken, vegetables like peas and carrots, and gravy or soupy mixture.

Chicken Pot Pie is an all-American comfort food. I enjoy the yummy mix of vegetables and cream of chicken soup with the flaky crust. The combination is amazing!
