It's a great way to use leftover turkey for Thanksgiving like my Turkey Shepherd's Pie! Whether you use chicken or turkey I suggest making a bunch because they won't last long!

Let's take a quick look at the ingredients

• Premade pie crust (I use Pillsbury)
• Chicken
• Garlic cloves
• Onion
• Carrots
• Celery
• Russet Potatoes
• Frozen peas
• Frozen corn
• Chicken broth
• Heavy cream
• Butter
• All-purpose flour
• Thyme
• Rosemary
• Salt/pepper
• Egg white

How to make Chicken pot pie
1. Lay the pie crust out and cut circles using a small bowl or cup.
2, Place the pie crust in the bottom of the 5" pie tins.
3. Add the filling.
4. Place the top crust on the pie and using a fork seal the edges down.
5. Cut three slits at the top of the pie.
6. Brush the egg wash over the top crust so it gets golden brown while baking.

Recipe Tips!
• Use a rotisserie chicken, always my go-to when I dont have any leftover chicken.
• Use leftovers from Thanksgiving instead of chicken.
• I use premade pie crust but if you want to make your own pie crust try this Homemade Buttery Flaky Crust!
• Feel free to switch up the veggies to whatever you have on hand.

Notes

I get 14 pies out of 2 crusts using a 3.5 cutter for the bottom and a 5" cutter for the top crust. The amount of pies will change if you make them larger or smaller.

If freezing cool pot pie filling down before spooning it into the pies, Once assembled place a small piece of parchment paper over the top then wrap it in foil. freeze up to three months.

For frozen pies bake at 425 for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 375 for another 40-45 minutes.
