Chicken Pot Pie
Pot pies make great meals for
lunch or dinner. If you make several at a time, you can refrigerate
cooked pies for a quick and easy lunch. Just reheat for a few minutes
and serve. They actually taste better the second day. Uncooked
pies can be frozen and used at any time for an easy ready to cook and eat
meal. Frozen pies should be removed from freezer and allowed to thaw
for at least one hour before baking. You can also thaw frozen pies by
putting tem in the refrigerator overnight.
