Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie is a throw-back meal.  But, this is not the same Chicken Pot Pie that I used to eat when I was younger.  This is full of chicken and vegetables and the flavor is delicious.   It’s definitely not your mother’s chicken pot pie.

Olive Oil
2 Cups Carrots – diced
2 Cups Celery – diced
