The Best pastry puff chicken pot pie recipe

I have been making this pastry puff chicken pot pie for years now and it is one of those recipes that just works every time. My kids love the flaky golden crust and the creamy filling with chunks of chicken and vegetables. It is a complete meal in one dish so I don’t have to worry about sides. This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or when you want something comforting but not too heavy. The puff pastry gives it a nice light texture and the filling is packed with protein and veggies so it is a balanced dinner option. I also like that I can use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time. My family always asks for seconds and I never mind making extra because it reheats well too.
