Preparation Tips / Special Notes

The perfect fall/ winter comfort food! Whenever I make this for friends/family someone always asks for the recipe. Was introduced to this Chicken Pot Pie by my co-worker Valerie Husman who brought me some and I was immediately hooked! Reminds me of how great the people I work with are! (This recipe is adapted from a recipe from Food.com my co-worker Val shared with me.)
