This is a great basic recipe. I had to modify it somewhat because my son cannot have milk, eggs or butter. That said, I cooked a whole chicken and used just the dark meat, cut up, saving the white meat for a chicken salad. I used 3 cups of the chicken broth in place of milk. I cooked the onion and celery in Smart Balance Lite butter substitue. I added poultry seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper to taste. I cooked and cubed 2 cups of potatoes and added that to the mixed vegetables. I pre-cooked a bottom crust at 425 degrees for 12 minutes. Then added the filling and top crust. I'm sure the egg brushed over the top would have made a prettier crust but it wasn't necessary for flavor. My husband and son never missed the dairy products. It really was a very flavorful pie even with the modifications. This made two 9" pies at just a fraction of the cost of a pot pie that our local grocery deli sells. This recipe is a keeper.
