Pioneer Woman's Chicken Pot Pie

So I know I've seen her blog in the past, but I must have forgotten about it.  I reacquainted myself with the Pioneer Woman's awesome existence this week.

I think what got me started was seeing her on The Food Network, hosting a 30-minute-meal episode or something along those lines.  After the show I looked for her blog and after an hour of skimming through fun content, came across this gem

One thing I'm sure of in life: my love for chicken pot pie.  Do my kids share the same love?  No.  Did I care? Not really.  I was going to make this pie for dinner.  And people were going to eat it.  And that was that.

Luckily for me, I'd slow cooked a whole chicken a couple days prior, and had lots of delicious shredded chicken to use for this dish.

Here are some pics from the process.  And to my total delight, the kids LOVED it.  Loved, as in, asked for demanded seconds!!  A winner!

The pot pie filling, simmering in buttery heaven on the stovetop.

Pour filling into 2 quart baking dish.  Add pie crust to top of filling...I used a basic store-bought rolled pie crust.  Next time I'd make my own.   Brush with egg whites.

Place on a jelly roll pan to catch any overflows :)

Dinner is served!
