I remember Sunday dinners at my grandma's farm. Chicken potpie was probably second in popularity only to chicken and dumplings. I like to collect heritage recipes from my area and hope to compile them someday into a cookbook.
I would take the advice of the others and pre-cook the carrots and potatoes for 10 minutes. I thought I could cut the carrots very thin and the potatoes into small cubes, but some were cooked and some weren't. I was pleased with the crust. I don't have great success with pastry, but this turned out. I ended up using a 3 quart casserole dish because 2 quarts was too small, especially with adding extra vegetables.

This is what homemade pot pie should taste like. It has just enough sauce to hold the taste together without being soupy when you try to eat it like most frozen brands. The amounts worked perfectly to fill my 8-cup Deep Dish Baker stoneware.
We really did enjoy this! I added mixed vegetables in place of the peas.It was very tasty, but it could use a little more sauce.It also took two hours baking time.I will probably make this again and boil my vegies before adding to the sauce. It was still very delicious!
Used a premade pie crust, but other than that, did everything that recipe called for. Really tasty, definitely a "keeper"! Thanks for the recipe.
This was very good even though I had to make a few substitutions. I will definitely be making this one again. Thanks for a great meal idea!
Amazing recipe... i was looking for one that didn't have any cans in it and this was it! Only mod i made was I used shortening instead of butter for the crust.
This was really good! Although it took me longer than an hour to cook, more like an hour and a half. I used turkey instead of chicken left over from Thanksgiving. I will make this again!!!
I thought this was a great meal!! I have made it twice so far and it was a big hit. I used frozen pearl onions, and pre-made roll out crust, but the rest was awesome!! Cook time was a little longer the first time, so I pre-cooked the carrots and potatoes for a few minutes. Kudos!!
The pot pie was wonderful! We didn't want to make as much as the recipe stated, so we reduced the amount by half/made the pot pie in a 1 qt. bowl. It made two full meals for the two of us! A must try!
This was a great recipe, I think a little less filling and a little more sauce would have been good though. There was so much filling I made 2 regular sized pie pans full with just a little more of the pasty.
