I love chicken pot pie, but I’ve never made one–I may have to just give this one a whirl!

Mary Ann - yes, cook the chicken first. I usually buy split chicken breasts when they are on sale and boil them for an hour or so. Then I let them cool a bit and shred/cut the meat. I usually get 3 or so meals out of 4 split breasts that way and it makes cooking other dishes during the week quicker as well. More EASY recipes for chicken to follow!

Rebecca - you have a point. I have to omit the onions for both the boys although they make the dish sweeter overall. I've also left the celery out when in a bind and it was good as well. I say the carrots are a must for that sweet, creamy taste but that is just my opinion. I add mushrooms because I love them and my friend added cooked brown rice to hers. I think you can play around with this a bit without messing up the integrity of the dish. The main ingredients for the filling really are the roux (flour and butter) and the broth and milk.

Good luck! Y'all let me know how it turns out!

Okay, where’s the instructions for keeping the kids (and hubby- who are we kidding) from picking out the onions, celery and peas??

Looks delicious. You can pay it forward to me anytime!

You mention evaporated milk and chicken broth in the instructions, but they are not in your ingredient list. Help! It looks so good, I want to make it!
