Great-grandma had to spend hours to make her version of this classic. You? Just under an hour. And it's just as creamy, hot and delicious as the original.

Rated 5 out of 5 by rolittam from My family and I loved this recipe. My family and I loved this recipe. I'd never made a chicken pot pie. I used two frozen deep dish pie shells (one for a bottom shell and one for the top). I've always liked a top and bottom to chicken pot pies. The next time I will wrap the rim and bake a little while longer. Some parts of the crust weren't cooked very well. Nonetheless, it was a huge success in my household (even with my 2 1/2 yr old)!

Rated 2 out of 5 by caryn.rominger from This was not that good...I would have to say below average for a chicken pot pie. This was not that good...I would have to say below average for a chicken pot pie. I thought I'd try it out because I bought the cooking cream. On a scale of 1 to 10 for chicken pot pies, this was a 3. I used a rotisserie chicken to save time. It was definitely quick and very easy. However, very dry and bland...NO flavor. I will stick to my own recipe for chicken pot pie.

Rated 4 out of 5 by KristyA03 from It was good. It was good. After reading the reviews - decided to do a top and bottom crust. Bottom crust was a little doughy. Next time I'll precook a few mins while I prep the filling. I also added in half a can of cream of chicken with the garlic sauce and a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Used turkey sliced thick from the deli counter that I cubed up into bite sized pieces.

The next time, I used two crusts and added some chicken broth. We boiled the chicken once, and will probably grill it next time. Was very easy and everyone enjoyed it. Would highly recommend adding the second crust and broth - just a couple of ounces makes a much improved difference.

Rated 5 out of 5 by efendi from I altered the recipe slightly. I altered the recipe slightly. I added in celery, fresh parsley, fresh sage, diced mushrooms and two Knorr condensed chicken bullion. I wanted to make to make sure it had good flavor. I made my own pie crust using King Arthur's pastry flour. The crust was savory and flakey. The whole recipe turned out perfect! No more Marie Calendars for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cjjacob61210 from Absolutely delicious! Absolutely delicious!!! I was a bit concerned because the store was out of the Savory Garlic Cooking Cream but I used the Original Cooking Cream and added about 1/4 tsp garlic powder and seasoned the chicken with McCormick's Perfect Pinch Original Chicken seasoning. Absolutely delicious and easy! Also, I used a bottom crust as well :)

I decided to try this recipe because it was so simple. I thought it was terrible. It didn't taste like chicken pot pie at all. The garlic in the creme was too strong and overpowering. It was pretty bland aside from the garlic taste. Thumbs down.

I read all the reviews before I made my first pie...and would agree with some of the previous suggestions! Start with a rotisserie chicken, add a can of cream of chicken soup and definitely 2 pie crusts (one on the top and bottom). The flavor is great and definitely a huge hit in my family!
