Classic Chicken Pot Pie

        This is a really simple chicken pot pie recipe that I was very excited to try. I found some ready-made pie crust, but if you want you can make your own savory pie crust to coat the top and bottom of a glass pie plate.This is a very classic American chicken casserole-type dish that is easy and quick to make.And if you want you can really substitute anything for the chicken like shrimp or some more veggies.I am also providing step-by-step pictures so you know what it is supposed to look like.I hope you enjoy.
