Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie

Serves 4.

Vegan?  Check out the original recipe linked below.  I adapted it after hearing from a friend that it was great as a "real chicken" dish.  And you can feel good about eating this too.  It's much healthier than the traditional chicken pot pie.

Ugly, isn't it?
