Easy Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

Time for some hearty pot pie baby! One of our first lovely recipes we posted was this Homestyle Chicken Pot Pie that has an awesome homemade cream sauce (with or without mushroom version). To top it off, the Parmesan crust is amazing! It’s great to impress guests and just enjoy some good traditional feel-goodery food.

But how about on those days when you are in a time crunch?

Some nights, I have no motivation, no time, and no energy to cook, but could really use a home cooked meal.  My sister-in-law gave me this recipe and it is perfect to fill empty tummies on a cool Fall evening.

So if you are feeling bogged down give this simple weeknight dinner a try.

Instead of a pre-made pie crust, use a pastry puff sheet for the topping. Cook until golden brown and enjoy!
