Found this recipe on MSN Lifestyle. Deep-Dish Chicken Pot Pie

The original recipe calls for, home made crust & a rectangular baking dish but I use Pillsbury ready made pie crust & a circular baking dish. This is a shortcut that works. Homemade, with less hassle.
The Leek really makes this dish! Try it with onion instead & it will go from 5 star to Standard.

*Condiment to accompany, Hot Sauce
