Creamy, hearty, warm, and comforting. Chicken pot pie is something I make often in the winter, and always from scratch. This is one of my number one comfort foods!
Currently, things are pretty weird in the world. We’re in the midst of a pandemic, and most of us are quarantined at home (“shelter in place” orders from the government, or voluntarily doing the right thing). I’ve been working from home for 3 weeks now, and still adjusting to it. While I can’t continue all my usual experiments from home for various reasons and restrictions (biohazards, for one), I have lots of reading and writing I have been doing. This is a really weird time, with lots of emotions surrounding it. Worry, fear, anger, restlessness…
I find myself cooking and baking a lot - not just out of necessity but out of a need to create. I’ve been going back to a lot of basic, comforting things I make like chili, bread, cookies, and this chicken pot pie.
This is simple and straightforward without a lot of fancy ingredients required. I usually use frozen vegetables! This is great for when you don’t have access to fresh produce, like a lot of people these days. The pie crust is just 3 main ingredients, and I even have a tutorial if you’re new to pie crust! See: All Butter Pie Crust Tutorial.
I hope you find comfort in this recipe like I do. Don’t forget to tag me @sprinkledwithjules on instagram if you bake this!
