Tips
Here are a few tips to help you make the perfect chicken pot pie:
- If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own.
- Feel free to use any vegetables you like in your chicken pot pie. This recipe is just a guideline.
- Make sure you let the chicken and vegetable mixture cool for a few minutes before pouring it into the pie crust. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Brush the top of the pie crust with an egg wash before baking. This will give it a nice golden brown color.
