Chicken Pot Pie

This chicken pot pie recipe is great. I’ve previously posted it, but I finally got around to taking some good pictures. Another thing I like is that this is one way we really, really stretch a dollar. I buy a whole chicken (on sale, of course). Buying a whole chicken is the cheapest per pound (versus buying legs, etc.). I... Read More
