Ingredients and Substitutions
One of my favorite weeknight dinner ingredients is a rotisserie chicken. It’s the most versatile, no-effort protein you can use to whip up speedy meals and this homemade chicken pot pie recipe celebrates it big time. I used cheese sauce bought from my local supermarket but if yours doesn’t carry Mornay, Béchamel or cheese sauce, my recipe for homemade Mornay sauce is quick to make and absolutely delicious. All-butter puff pastry is the perfect quick pie crust but feel free to use any pie crust of your choice. I usually just lay it over the filling but a lattice crust is a cute extra step if you want to fancy it up a little.
