Chicken Pot Pie

As much as I love to cook there are some (several) nights that by the time it comes time to make dinner turning on the oven is the last thing that I want to do. On nights like that the Kraft Hub comes in incredibly handy. 

The Kraft Hub is similar to Pinterest, but it’s 100% dedicated to food. Even better the recipes are all easy to follow and most can be made with what you’ve already got in your kitchen.

I’ve already made this pot pie a few times now, and it gets easier and easier each and every time. The hardest part? Letting the pie dough cool enough before you roll it out. Promise. 

If you’ve never made homemade pie dough, you’re in luck. This recipe is incredibly easy to follow and only has 4 ingredients. It needs to chill at least 2 hours in the fridge, but can chill out for up to 5 days. Making this the perfect dish to prepare over a long weekend and pop in the oven after a long day at work. 

Word to the wise: invest in a pasty cutter. Up until last week I used two forks to cut my butter and flour when making any kind of dough, and the difference using an actual pastry cutter on dough is night and day. Literally the first comment my roommate had about my latest pot pie was how buttery and flaky the crust was. Do. It.
