Nobody makes chicken pot pie like good old grandma.
There is just something amazing about a grandmother’s cooking, isn’t there? I know that my grandma could cook way better than anyone else in my life when I was growing up. Yes, my mama was a great cook and still is, however, there was just something special about grandma’s recipes. Sadly, my grandma passed on in 2011 so I don’t get to enjoy her cooking anymore. I was really excited to come across the Bless Us O Lord food blog though as Barbara has many recipes that remind me of my gram’s. Especially, this chicken pot pie casserole. It’s totally scrumptious!

Expert Tips
- Make a foil collar (or pie crust shield) to protect the edges of the pastry from overbrowning. Place strips of foil to cover crust during the last 15 or 20 minutes of baking.
- A standard 9-inch glass pie plate works best for this recipe.
- The only complicated part of making a pot pie is the pastry. By using a refrigerated dough you’re left with making a quick, savory gravy that can be filled with leftover cooked chicken, turkey, or ham and a good handful of veggies. A dash of poultry seasoning or some finely chopped fresh sage will enhance the flavor of the sauce.
