Grandma’s Chicken Pot Pie

Grandma’s Chicken Pot Pie

Every time I make this Chicken Pot Pie, I’m taken back to Sunday dinners in my grandma’s cozy kitchen. The buttery crust, creamy filling, and tender chicken brought comfort after a long week. Now, it’s a tradition in my home too. Try it out and bring some of that old-fashioned love to your table tonight.
