What is the one dish that always makes you think of Home! A Comfort Food that you can always go back too and know that every single time it will taste amazing and bring you and your family closer. That is what Homemade Chicken Pot Pie is for me. That perfect comfort food.
With all the hustle and bustle in our lives running from work, to the stores even the daily home chores of laundry and cleaning. It is nice to have that one meal that will makes you sit and enjoy. Your home even smells amazing when you make Chicken Pot Pie. I serve this year round and while it is especially good in the dead of winter with a loaf Sourdough bread or with Cheddar and Chive Scones. Anytime is the right time 🙂
While this recipe looks complicated it really is anything but hard. I can almost guarantee your family will ask for this over and over again. This is also the one dish I use to take to friends when they have had surgery or any illness because it also freezes very well. Enjoy!!
