Chicken Pot Pie at The Happy Housewife

I have a son who loves chicken pot pie. It is his favorite meal and he could probably eat an entire pie himself if there was ever enough. I’ve used several recipes over the years, but this one is by far my family’s favorite chicken pot pie recipe.

    Does this make enough for two pies? I only ask because your ingredients say pie crust for two double crust pies but the instrucions don’t mention filling two pies.

    this sounds really good! I’ve been looking for one that doesn’t use cream of chicken soup! 🙂 I’m going to try this! Does it freeze well?

    On freezing it, do you assemble, then freeze? Or bake and freeze? If you assemble then freeze, would you thaw it to bake it? thanks!

      I usually freeze the filling and then make the crust fresh. But I have frozen the whole thing assembled and it works well too. I do thaw before baking.

    Shannon, I made this tonight and can confidently say it’s for two pies. We had lot left over – not that we’re complaining!

    This may be a dumb question but is the chicken cooked prior to adding it in the pie or will it cook completely in the pie? I’m finicky about chicken not being cooked completely.

      Yes, it is fully cooked.

    I know this might sound stupid but what do you mean by double crusted pies? Does it mean a crust on both top and bottom or do you just fill a pie dish with the mixture and cover the top?

      Pie crust on both the top and bottom.

    Also does the recipe and crust make enough for 2 pies?

    Whoops, I see by the comments that others had the same question, and I didn’t realize it made two pies, until I looked closer at your directions. I wonder if a person could make a top crust, but no bottom crust. Or else freeze half for another time, and add the pie crust for the second pie later.
