Additional Methods
Make A Crust From Scratch
For this recipe, we used a premade crust, but a homemade crust can do wonders. Basic ingredients like sugar, flour, eggs, and heavy cream help create the perfect flaky crust you can use with just about any pie.
Switch Up Your Fillings
While these are the vegetables and spices we like to use best, you can always switch things up to suit your tastes. Try these out if you're looking for something new:
- celery
- sweet potatoes

Chicken pot pie is also a good recipe to use any cooked leftover chicken. If you don't have any stored in the fridge you can easily use some from a store-bought rotisserie chicken.
