Sarah Shipley's Chicken Pot Pie

WI Cheesehead's Note:

This is a simple, yet delicious, comforting meal. I've had it forever and the whole family loves it. I usu. don't make it with the almonds and it still tastes fantastic! Takes just minutes to throw together if you buy the crust already made.

Enjoyed very much, altho found it a bit too much dough for our taste..used two prepared pie crusts and am sure preparing own dough is preferable. Next time will add some green peas and saute the celery ahead of time.

This pot pie was very yummy, and my bf raved about it. I thought the mixture would make a great chicken salad on its own too without the pie crust :) Thanks for sharing this!

We are not big fans of mixed vegetables so this was perfect for us. I used the Tyson pouch of chicken and it worked well. Did add some black pepper to the mixture and a bit more mayo. Thank you WI Cheesehead, we enjoyed!
