Last week, we took Grace to the pediatrician for her 2 month check up and her first round of vaccines. The doctor was so impressed with her growth! She is only nursing and has almost doubled her birth weight already! She’s also grown 5 inches since birth. We’ve got a big girl on our hands!
I was so nervous about the vaccines. I felt so bad for her! But she was great and only cried once with each pinch (she got 3!). I think I was sadder than she was! hahaha This Friday she is getting her ears pierce… yayyy! Finally!! I can’t wait to see her in earrings!
Mikey and I didn’t want to go out to eat since we knew she might get cranky or just be really sleepy so we decided to go home. When we got home, we really wanted something yummy to eat. I don’t know why, but we were both in the mood for some comfort food (maybe because of the vaccines that neither of us got? haha).
I saw that I had some chicken breasts and decided to make that…. then I remembered my pie dough recipe that I haven’t made in a while! I decided on chicken pot pie.
I made the my favorite pie dough in no time. It really is such an easy recipe (no refrigeration required!)! I was able to make the dough, roll it out, prep the filling mixture and bake it in right under an hour. I always thought chicken pot pie would be more time consuming, but it was pretty fast!
It also wasn’t difficult at all. The pie dough is forgiving since it doesn’t have to look perfect! The filling is going to cover it all anyway, so don’t get hung up on the looks of it.
We made ours with carrot, onion, peas and corn as the veggie filling, but feel free to use any veggies you want! I know it’s usually made with celery as well, but neither of us are a huge fan of celery so we decided to pass on that. You can really do whatever you want with this!
The pie crust recipe will be enough for two pies. So feel free to make a chicken pot pie and a dessert pie as well. Maybe my Peach Crumble Pie? Pies for dinner! The best!!
If you make this, tag me on Instagram so I can see! Or use the hashtag #toeatdrinkandbemarried

Oooh this sounds delicious! I’m going to have to try this recipe because I love chicken pot pie!
Enjoy!! :)
This is very similar to how I make chicken pot pie, but I don’t follow a recipe. It’s so wonderful that I always make two. We eat one, and freeze one for another day. You can also make them in the smaller tart pans for a single serving.
I never thought of freezing one! My pie dough recipe makes makes enough for 2 pies. I should try that next time!! :) Love the single serving idea too!
This looks delicious! I don’t like corn but it would be so easy to leave it out or even replace it with something else. Thanks for sharing, hope I can try and make this one day!
hahaha, my husband is addicted to corn so it goes into just about every meal I make for him! But yes, replace it or leave it out altogether. :)
My daughter loves chicken pot pie. Love that this recipes only takes an hour to cook. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, that’s the best part! Hope she likes it :)
Wow ! This recipe looks delicious! Even though I am a recent vegetarian — I can always use this recipe and substitute the chicken for mock meat / tofu. Thanks for the recipe ! =)
This looks like the perfect comfort food, for when you dont get shots ;-) I’m glad your daughter was a trooper for her shots, they were never easy for me with my kids either. I can’t wait to try this!
I will have to try this with homemade pie dough recipe.
It looks so good! I got hungry while reading through your recipe haha Thank you for sharing!
hahaha well, I hope you’re able to try it and enjoy!
I had no idea that I could make Chicken Pot Pie so fast! Looks delicious!
I was amazed, too! It’s so quick (at least compared to other recipes!).
Ah this really does look delicious! I hear ya, I get those home comfort food cravings all the time but am pretty lazy so it’s great to hear this was done in only an hour. Pastry is always kinda intimidating but I actually might give this a try!! P.s. Your site is beaaautiful :)
Hhaha, yes, pastry can be a bit of a hassle, but this pie is pretty forgiving. A good egg wash hides a lot of the imperfections. ;)
I love chicken pot pie especially in the fall and winter months. Iy makes me think of my mama.
Yes, this is a great one to save for those colder months!
My family loves chicken pot pies. I’ll have to make this for them since its so easy.
I hope they love it!!
Love me some pot pie minus the peas, I know it’s traditional but just don’t like them. use celery instead. Im heading over to look at that lozy yummy Cozy Carrot & Sweet Potato Soup! I never just end up on one page when I come to your site, guess thats a good thing. lol
hahaha, I’m glad you enjoy the recipes!! You can totally substitute the peas with anything you like! Make it your own ;)
Looks delish! We love a good pie in our house…will bookmark this for the winter months.
