Chicken Pie with Fluffy Bread Topping

With the holidays quickly approaching and cool weather upon us, I thought I would share one of my favorite recipes for a nourishing comfort food. Chicken pie is one of those dishes that comes to mind when I think of comfort food. It is also a welcome dish at potluck dinners.  Add a side dish and maybe some dessert, and you have a meal with minimal dishes. Love that!  I have made this dish many times to carry to church picnics or family gatherings but this time I decided to video the steps and share them with you. This was my first attempt at a food video so please be kind in your critique.  Check out the video below to see how to make a delicious chicken pie from scratch using ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.  Enjoy!

This recipe was adapted from one shared in our church cookbook. I eliminated canned cream soup and made my own to reduce the sodium content. The prep time can be greatly reduced if you already have some leftover chicken on hand or use canned white meat chicken. You could add vegetables to it but I prefer my vegetables separate.  It is great served with some cooked apples and creamy spinach or green beans and carrots.
