I loved this. I never thought it would be so easy to get that comfort food feeling!! MMMM!! I pre-sauteed the veggies......did not use mushrooms. I boiled the chicken to almost done....I pre-baked the crust for about 6 minutes, as with another review, I brushed on some egg whites, and I did the top of the crust too! I loved this pot pie, I was weary at first, the filling did not smell as tasty as it REALLY was when it was all complete and baked in the pie! TRY THIS! It is delisious!

So Yummy! I used a store bought crust that needed to be used up. I added a lot more onion and more carrots. I also added a bag of frozen mixed veggies. Way too much for 1 pie, will make 2 next time. This recipie is going in my regular rotation.

This was my first homemade pot pie with homemade crust and It was so good! The husband loved it, the kids didnt like it that much (but they dont like anything I swear!). I also precooked the veggies like other reviews and added some extra seasoning like onion powder, garlic, and greek seasoning. I had to bake it for 15 extra mins cause i made 2 batches of crust and made the 1st pie crust a little to thick. But it was sooo good! Way better than store bought and wasnt hard to make at all!

This was excellent! I'm not a pro in the kitchen, so I used Pilsbury refrigerated pie crusts and I used a 12oz bag of mirepoix (2:1:1 of onions, celery, and carrots - available at Krogers) and only 1 and 1/2 russet potatoes. Made enough filling for two pies definitely! Followed the modification of boiling the chicken (3 breasts) in chicken broth for 10 minutes, adding the mirepoix and boiled for 5-7 minutes longer, then removing the chicken and straining the broth to get the onions, celery and carrots out. Additionally, allowed the pie crust the bake as the oven preheated, then brushed on egg whites and no soggy crust. Definitely a keeper!

This is a really good recipe. My preference (for the potatoes, celery, carrots, onions, and mushrooms) is to saute' them together in olive oil, then sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, slightly browning/cooking the flour and then whisk in the liquid to make the sauce. I also added ground bay leaf (Penzey's) to the seasonings. To cook the chicken, I use boneless, skinless, organic fed chicken, drizzled with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and cook in a 350 degree oven until done. After the chicken is cooled, shred the chicken in medium size pieces with two forks. The flavor of the chicken is exquisite and no square chunks. When putting the pie together, I never use a bottom crust. Put the vegetables/sauce mixture in greased pan/Pyrex, add frozen green peas and chicken, top with crust...making a design or slits in crust to let steam escape. Bake the left over pie crust as crackers and serve with.

There must have been a step left out of this recipe. The carrots and potatoes should have been pre-cooked, because when I pulled this pie out of the oven (after having it in there for 10 extra minutes) the potatoes and carrots were still completely raw. I was SOOO disappointed because other than that, it was really tasty.

So good and easy! My family loved this recipe. I did not cook everything and then drain for fear of losing all the flavor, instead I cooked the veggies in the chicken broth and added to the same pot the remainder.

Delicious and easy to make. We added veggies from the garden and made sure that the carrots and potatoes were soft before adding them in. We also added seasonings from the garden to spice it up a bit.
