Chicken Pot Pie

This classic Chicken Pot Pie is loaded with chicken, veggies, and a creamy cheese filling to ensure this will be a fall comfort food for the whole family.

I still can’t believe it’s October!

That means my birthday month is here (yes you read that right) and Halloween. Last year we dressed up JG as an elephant even though we didn’t take him trick or treating I mean he was only 5 months old. But this year we are doing Boo at the Zoo. What should Amelia and JG be? We are thinking a cow since that’s his favorite thing in the entire world right now, that and the Beach Boys song Barbara Ann.

Also October means time for chili, tailgating recipes, apple recipes, pumpkin dishes and pot pie. Okay so technically pot pie does not have a direct correlation to October. But I have waited long enough to share this dish with you. I mean you don’t necessarily crave warm comfort food in the summer do you?

The filling is creamy and cheesy. I probably could eat just the sauce by itself its so good. But what is a pot pie without chicken and a few veggies? Sounds simple enough right? One of these days I’m gonna give pie crust making a shot. I mean I’ve made pasta from scratch, biscuits from scratch so obviously this can’t be much different. But for this recipe I used the pre made dough to save a few minutes…lets be real here I do have a newborn and toddler.
