Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your pot pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, peas, corn, and green beans.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken that is cooked too long will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
- Use a low-fat milk or broth. This will help to reduce the fat content of the pot pie. You can also use a combination of milk and broth.
- Thicken the sauce with cornstarch or flour. This will help to give the pot pie a creamy texture. Be sure to whisk the cornstarch or flour into a small amount of milk or broth before adding it to the pot pie, so that it doesn't clump.
- Top the pot pie with a biscuit or puff pastry crust. This will give the pot pie a golden brown crust that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can easily customize it to your own taste.
