Epicure: Chicken Pot Pie

This dish may not be that pretty, but don't let it's primitive look fool you. This recipe was absolutely delish. There were literally no leftovers. Poor pot pie never stood a chance. - I found this recipe on allrecipes.com while on my rainy-day comfort food kick. What I love about this dish is that you can completely customize it by adding your favorite veggies and spices! I think I will add corn, spinach, and squash to the next one. Feel free to customize it to your liking!

4. Place the chicken mixture in bottom pie crust. Pour hot liquid mixture over. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape
