I love finding hearty, comfort food style recipes to make for my family. They come in especially handy during the winter! While I often times reach for one of my tried and true soup recipes on blustery days, there’s nothing better than a homestyle chicken pot pie too. It’s a quintessential comfort food!
Made with a rich gravy, crunchy veggies, and lots of chicken, all served up inside of a flaky crust, it’s the perfect dish to warm you up in the colder months. Plus, because it contains meat, grain, and multiple vegetables, all you need to add is a glass of milk for a well-balanced meal!
Where Did Chicken Pot Pie Come From?
Chicken pot pie is an all-American comfort food but the most iconic version of it — from Lancaster, inPennsylvaniaDutch country — has its roots in English dishes made from leftovers. The Pennsylvania Dutch added noodles, and the rest of the country made it a standby.
Homestyle Chicken Pot Pie
While this recipe doesn’t feature noodles, it does offer up all the classic flavors you’ve come to know and love with this hearty dish. Homestyle Chicken Pot Pie is a popular dish, which is why there are so many frozen variations available. However, if you chose to make it from scratch, I think you’ll find your efforts pay off in flavor and quality!
