GARLIC BREAD CHICKEN POT PIE

Cooking Tips

• Rotisserie Chicken Shortcut: Skip poaching or roasting chicken—grab a rotisserie bird from the store. Shred or chop it, and you’re golden.
• Veggie Variety: Swap or add broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, or bell peppers. This cozy pot pie welcomes garden-fresh (or frozen) helpers.
• Slump-Free Roux: Low and slow is the name of the game. Whisk continuously when adding liquid to your flour–butter mixture to avoid lumps.
• Bread Crispness: Pop the bread under the broiler for just 2 minutes. Too long and you’ll have charcoal instead of crust.
• Make-Ahead Magic: Assemble the filling the night before. Store covered in the fridge, top with bread, then bake when you get home—fresh, fast, and fabulous.
