I love making this dish when its cold outside because the hot oven warms up my apartment wonderfully! This recipe takes some time to make, but it will definitely last you a few days. The vegetables and chicken come out really tender. I make this chicken pot pie with homemade crust, just because I can’t stand the store-bought kind (even though it will save you a lot of time to use it). Don’t forgot to bake the crust in the oven for 15 minutes before you fill it, otherwise the bottom crust will be soggy!

WOW Kristi, this looks sooo good!!
Ive always been intimidated by pies, but I simply adore chicken pot pie. It’s hard to find here in the UK. I want to try making it now.
*kisses* HH
Kristi! I didn’t know you had a food blog! I have one too about my tiny kitchen here!! haha!! Also I’m so excited about this recipe, I’ve been wanting to make chicken pot pie for a long time and never found a recipe I liked. You’re so awesome.
I hope you like it! 🙂
I must say, this is the best chicken pot pie recipe I have tried yet! It isn’t too salty like the frozen ones, and the tip about boiling the vegetables in broth is great, I have always tried water up until now….Thank you from NYC!!!!!!!
Thank you so much 🙂
I tried this recipe and my husband loves it! It does take some time, but like you said SO worth it!
So glad to hear it, Amanda! 🙂
Do you use regular pie crust?
Yes, but not the sweet kind 🙂
