It's my second time making this and felt I needed to post. Love it!!!! I'm a 5 ingredients or less kinda girl so I do consider this a bit complicated but worth it. For ease I used prepared pie crust over a 9x9 casserole, only used 3.5 cups ckn broth as was suggested by other reviewers and just before pouring mixture into casserole I added about 1/4c instant mashed potatoes to thicken. Fantastic and fresh comfort food.

This is definitely a keeper for my monthly rotation. I only used one shortcut and was able to make this pot pie in an hour and 15 minutes. I must stress, do not substitute pie crust in this recipe!! Making your own is so much more delicious and not to mention fresher. I didn't read over other reviews to double up on the crust but I wish I did because I could not get enough. I used the entire rotisserie chicken and ended up with more than 3 cups but that's ok because the more meat, the better. I microwaved the potatoes for 10 minutes (I used 2 large russets as opposed to small ones and found that the large potatoes helped to thicken up the filling quite nicely. I can't wait to make this again!

this recipe is delicious! I've made it now a bunch of times and it has yet to disappoint. Even my dad, "the picky-eater" loves it. I usually use store bought pie crust to save time. It makes alot of leftovers so if i have a larger crowd to feed i use two pie crusts and place the filling in a bigger dish. everybody leaves with full bellies!

Overall, this was a really good recipe to start with. I followed it almost exactly, but I would make a few changes next time. There isn't enough dough for the crust, so I would probably double it next time, since I had a hard time getting it to cover an 8"x8" baking dish without being too thin. I also thought that it seriously lacked salt, and we found ourselves adding quite a bit on our own. I think I would probably try it with at least half regular chicken broth next time, just to up the salt a little bit. We also don't like onions, but I wanted to add a little bit of the flavor, so I went ahead and added some onion powder and garlic powder to both the broth mixture, the potatoes, and the chicken, which I used some breasts I just stuck in the oven and shredded. I was really happy with it though, reminds me of the ones I used to have as a kid, and even my husband liked it, which is the most shocking part! I would definitely make this again.

Good recipe - but don't take any shortcuts with the crust! It was the best part, and honestly didn't take that long (you're taking the time to make the recipe anyway, don't cut corners with this!. I microwaved the potatoes, used poached chicken breast, used 4 cups of broth, and doubled up on the peas. It came out delicious, although a little soupy (I wish I had used less broth like other reviewers had said and maybe 1/2cup of fresh parsley is a little much. I didn't double up on the crust and found the amount to be perfect and not too hard to roll out (I used a round ceramic casserole dish and didn't want to significantly up the calories by doing so.

It was a cold damp day and I thought it would be a great night for chicken pot pie and found this recipe. I have made pot pie several times before so I expected it to be labor intensive but boy was it worth every bite. I used poached chicken. I liked the addition of the yogurt because it made it made it much more creamier than other recipes I've used. I did take the advice of other posts and doubled up on the dough recipe, it worked perfect. This will be added to my rotation of favorites for sure!

I took a few shortcuts because I made this after a very long day, but overall, love the recipe! I microwaved my potatoes to save time, cut down on the broth to just 3 cups as other reviewers suggested, used frozen carrots which were pre-chopped, and instead of making the time intensive crust I mixed 2c of biquick with 2/3c of milk and 1c of cheddar cheese and dropped the dough on top of the filling in spoonfuls to form a crust. Bake at the same temp uncovered for the same amount of time. I also salt/peppered generously. Tasted great!

Okay this was time intensive! It took 2 hours on the nose and I had to get my boyfriend to assist me. The results were very good however and I really was getting worried about that homemade crust. I wouldnt make it again due to the TWO HOURS however it is yum. TWO HOURS!! Okay still thinking that was a little much. Also I used so many pans, we cleaned up after each step just due to the amount of tools we had to use. Again it tasted really good. TWO HOURS!!
