Chicken Pot Pie with Heart!~

mymilitarysavings.com

I love the weather right now. The East Coast is feeling a bit like Northern California, slightly chilly and drizzly. I had planned to make chicken pot pie, an easy family favorite to help fend off the cold. Then someone close to me had a sick family member. What a great way to show hospitality then to make a double batch and share love. If you choose to make a double batch, double the ingredients!~

 

Ingredients Needed:

3 Chicken Breasts

3 Cups Frozen Vegetables (We love corn, carrots, and asparagus. You can play with your favorites)

1 Cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

2 Cups Cream of Celery Soup (We also love Cream of Broccoli)

2 Pie Crust Disks
