This Classic Chicken Pot Pie is an easy family favorite. With the flaky, buttery crust, a creamy sauce, and a hearty mixture of roasted chicken and vegetables, what’s not to like? I love using the whole roasted chicken and vegetables I made earlier in the week, but store-bought rotisserie chicken also works in a pinch! My kids absolutely love this dish and I love that I have a complete dinner prepared in one pot.
