Tips:
- To save time, use a store-bought pie crust. If you're making your own, be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- For a creamier filling, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
- Don't overcrowd the pot with chicken. If necessary, cook the chicken in batches.
- Season the chicken and vegetables well. You can also add a bay leaf or two to the pot for extra flavor.
- Bring the filling to a simmer before adding the pie crust. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pot pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set.
