Chicken pot pie is one of those comfort foods that you are either on board with 100% or you just won't eat I have seen in the past. I haven't really ever met someone who is like Chicken pot pie Meh I can take it or leave it. Usually it is OMG best food EVER, or Yuck I would rather eat rocky mountain oysters than eat chicken pot pie. But for those that do love chicken pot pie it is some of the most amazing food on the planet.
I am a firm believer of a super creamy pie full of chicken and veggies and topped with a buttery puff pastry. The puff pastry portion is enough to earn me the black list for true southern chicken pot pie eaters. You are supposed to make it with a pie crust, preferably grandmas. I am not a whiz with the pie crust so call me a cop out but I go the easy route with the puff pastry. And when I am talking about creamy filling I mean think cream of chicken soup with chunks of chicken and celery and carrots. The hubby likes potatoes in his and I can take them or leave them. If I am putting them in there I prefer them to be diced fine and cooked in a skillet not boiled. No one in the family likes peas so we leave them out. However if we get a pot pie in a restaurant we will eat the peas, just don't keep them in the house. I am going to make a pot pie tonight and once I see how it comes our having only made it myself once before I will let you all know how I did it.
