Chicken Pot Pie


This dish was very highly rated on a site I frequent, so I decided to give it a try. It was the favorite of all that I have made thus far. When I tell you it disappeared quickly, is an understatement. By the time one finished and went back for seconds, the pie plate was empty. I had only made one because I was unsure of how everyone would like it…Next time I shall make three!
