Lazy Sundays call for food prepped ahead of time that you can toss into the oven just before dinnertime. Such a sharable dish, Chicken Pot Pie brings back memories of going to grandma’s house and sitting around the table with cousins. We would laugh and eat delicious homemade food fresh from the oven.
Amish food traditions run thick in our neck of the woods. Amish women are known for their cooking abilities, especially when it comes to Amish Chicken Pot Pie. The lifestyle is quiet and simple without being a burden to society and the Golden Rule of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” even applies to the amount of love we put into our recipes.
We hope you are able to share this dish with loved ones this fall and winter. It sure is a heartwarming one.
