Chicken Pot Pie aka Turkey Pot Pie

chicken-pot-pie aka turkey pot pie-a-pinch-of-joy Use holiday leftovers or start from scratch, pot pie is a filling comfort food.

Chicken Pot Pie is a management dish.  You know, one that uses up the leftover roast chicken and veggies, even gravy,  in the refrigerator.  Have leftover turkey?  Substitute turkey for the chicken – turkey pot pie is great for holiday leftovers.    That’s inventory control.  Or on the time management side, you can bake one and freeze one.  One is for dinner tonight and the other is wrapped in foil and frozen for a dinner later.   Or make and freeze more than one batch as part of a make ahead or once a month cooking project.

If you don’t have leftover chicken, grab a rotisserie chicken at the grocery.  OR poach chicken breast in about three inches of water boiling in a deep skillet.  Generally each piece of chicken breast yields about 1 cup of cubed meat so you’ll need two pieces of full-sized chicken breast.  Technically the individual pieces are only one side or one half of the chicken breast  but they are still labeled “chicken breast” (as in not half chicken breast) in the package.  Just so you know or just for confusion, whichever fits 😉 .  You can also change up the seasonings to suit your family taste buds.   I sometimes use a garlic and herb seasoning instead of just the garlic powder which gives it a little extra depth.  And as you noticed, the slices are for eating and are not especially photogenic.

Chicken pot pie is a filling comfort food, easy to make ahead and pop in the oven as needed. Substitute holiday turkey and no one will think "leftover"!
