Easy Recipe for Chicken Pot Pie
By Pamela99
Simple Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken pot pie is a favorite meal at our home, especially in cooler weather. This recipe is simple and I like it because it uses Crescent rolls for the crust, so it isn’t as heavy as a traditional pie crust. You can even purchase lighter calorie crescent rolls in your grocer's dairy case. It uses a 13” X 9 pan, and we reheat it leftovers in the toaster oven. It only takes about a few minutes to assemble the recipe once you have cooked the chicken. This is a delicious meal with little effort on the part of the cook.

To Conclude:
I like this recipe because of the taste and it makes two meals for us. We have found if you heat the leftovers in the toaster oven or your regular oven it is fresh all over again. In the microwave the crust becomes soggy. You can also substitute turkey so it is a good recipe for turkey leftovers after the holidays. It is an easy recipe and bakes up quickly.
