bk's tasty chicken pie
I was craving chicken pot pie but didn't have all the usual ingredients. So I decided to try something different. I shredded leftover chicken breasts, sauteed vegetables, made a homemade white sauce, and utilized frozen puff pastry and pie crust. It worked well in this dish. Please remember to thaw the puff pastry and pie shell ahead of time. Once thawed you can place them in the fridge until needed. I hope you will enjoy this as much as we did.
