KFC Chicken Pot Pie Recipe Notes

Filling: It’s also important not to overfill your pot pies. This pie recipe is super tasty and it’s tempting but you’ll want to leave room for them to bubble up while they bake.

Vent: Venting will also help prevent a gapbetween the filling and the crustcaused by the baking process.

Veggies:Try to chop your potatoes and carrots roughly thesame size. This helps ensure even cooking and dispersion through your little pies.

Cream:Brushing the tops of any pastry with cream ensures that you get a nice golden crust. There are lots of other options for the tops of your pastries— experiment!

Chicken:Never broken down a rotisserie chicken before? I love YouTube’s handy tutorials, likethis one, that helps you get every delicious piece of chicken possible!

    Only made a couple of changes: scaled the recipe down to 2 servings;nix on the peas – can’t stand them – changed to frozen green beans that I diced, and used Healthy Request Cream of Chicken soup because I am allergic to MSG and this soup has none. Love this recipe – and made my own pice crust – top and bottom. Thanks so much for posting
