Chicken Pot Pie

Happy weekend all,, Delicious breakfast 'Chicken Pot Pie' to rock on sunday.. this chicken pot pie is really yummy, the not so creamy chicken filling just perfect with the flaky pie crust.

Ingredients for the filling

i got the filling recipe from Jennycancook food blog with video. For the pie crust i am using my usually pie crust recipe which used butter. For more healthy choice, you can follow jenny recipe that use oil instead of butter.

Next time, i will consider to put more milk or water to create some soup inside the pie. also i will put some potato. Just thinking, the taste will really yummy!
