I make a chicken pot pie using the pre-made pie crusts. Easy. This sounds like a nice change. If I get my ass to the store today, I think I'll make it tonight.
I think I'll try it as is but I bet you could add a cup or two of a defrosted peas/carrots/corn mix. Always trying to get my kids to eat their veggies.
