chicken pot pie

Threw together this pot pie recipe from a leftover rotisserie chicken. I had enough to make 2 pot pies! We had one for dinner and I froze the other. My daughter made the pie crust from scratch, but pastry & I don't usually get along, LOL So, you can always use a store bought crust (but homemade, from scratch, is so much better!) My husband loved it so much, he said, "This is what wins contests!" :)
