Classic Chicken Pot Pie
“Pot Pies” are a great way to use up left-overs. You can make your own pie crust but to save time you can use a package pie crust. This is the perfect recipe to make using your Thanksgiving Day left-overs. Classic Chicken Pot Pie is absolutely delicious!
Frozen Pot Pies
My hubby is in love with pot pies. The pot pies that you buy in the freezer section of your grocery store, the single serving pot pies. You know the kind. Years ago, you could buy them for 6 pot pies for a $1.00. My sister Joan, who was living with me at the time, loved pot pies. She’d eat a pot pie every day for lunch. I doubt if she still eats a pot pie every day anymore but I’m certain my hubby would, if he could. I’m not positive but I think one pot pie is well over a dollar now, still a bargain by today’s standards.
Give It A Chance
Don’t let the long list of ingredients make you turn around and run in the opposite direction with your hands in the air screaming. It’s going to be ok. I’ll agree that there are a number of ingredients in this recipe but the end justifies the means. This recipe, for the most part, uses left-overs. For convenience sake we used refrigerated pie crusts. Turkey, garlic, celery, onions, leeks, carrots, corn and green beans are all left over from Thanksgiving. So is the chicken broth, spices and cheese. I do believe that the only ingredient that I needed to purchase was a can of cream of chicken soup. Not bad for this hearty pot pie!
