Chicken pot pie - must have

Couple of days ago, we were watching a Hallmark movie and the lead lady actor had a business making pot pies. The wife started making hungry type statements and talking about how she loved chicken pot pies when she was a kid. The next movie had a guy eating a pot pie. And then, almost immediately, there was a tv ad for Cracker Barrel showing a chicken pot pie. Game on. The wife started looking for a close Cracker Barrel. No luck, but the Cotton Patch has them on the menu, and off we went to the nearest Cotton Patch. And we found that that they had just taken the pot pies off the menu. The wife didn’t faint or cuss, but she did wobble a bit.

So, help me out here. What chain joint has pot pies? This is an itch that needs to be scratched. No, she isn’t pregnant. Way too old for that (which I will deny saying).

Boston Market makes great chicken pot pies.

In Hewitt in front of Walmart on 35

I don't like chicken pot pies.

What? Do you not like chicken or pies? Trying to narrow this down.

Dang, I thought this was going to be about big brother subliminal messaging and ads. Still could be and it worked. I do like scratch chicken pot pies so I'll tune back in for results

Love them.

I would just as soon have a C Rat dinner if "Ham and Mothers" as I would a chicken pot pie.

I used to pick out the peas. Love the juice and crust.

Don you are missing out sir! Nothing like a really good Chicken Pot Pie

How old are you?

+1 on Boston Market pot pies. Don’t forget the okra and the new taters. Oh wait the creamed spinach!! Cornbread, gotta have that too.

I’ll be right back y’all.

Cheddar's has decent pot pies.

I said "used to." And I'm old enough to eat what I want to eat and not eat what I don't want to eat!

So you eat your peas now? J/K Jimbo, calm down.

we make our own, uh i mean wife makes ours

Only if they're in soup or stew. Ha Ha! Sorry, the NFL thread got me fired up.

I loved them until I saw the calorie count after I got married.

I do not do them anymore.

As a kid, my mom bought the frozen ones at Skaggs. I would put down 3 at a time.

Bluebonnet Cafe used to serve a good pot pie.

My favorite post Thanksgiving meal is a smoked turkey pot pie with wight giblet gravy.

The Trader Joe’s Pot Pie is pretty dang good....frozen, I get it...but still good!

Jason's Deli makes one, but I really can't recommend it. Best I've had in a while is the ones they sell at Central Market in the deli. Very good!

Never made them. Reminds me of chicken and dumplings with a crusty top. May pick up a couple if and when we get a cool down.

Agreed, had one for lunch today. Buy them all the time. Just needs black pepper & hot sauce.

Desperation could lead you to Marie Calender's in your grocery freezer section

KFC has them. I have always liked them, Marie Calendar has a good frozen one. I had to give them up, due to low salt diet.

Boston Market for sure, although sometimes I feel nostalgic and pick up some old school Banquet pot pies.

Absolutely.

The ones for $1? Dang right I grew up on those. 3-4 at a time!

Banquet

KFC has them. Used to be bigger and cost less but..... anyway, they are good.

You betcha! Lived on those things in the summer when I was in grade school. Come to think of it I ate a ton of ‘em in college too lol

Chocolate, lemon, cherry, blueberry. Those are good pies. Taking a chicken and making a pie with it? That is just not right.

Have you tried it Don?

I'd rather have Chicken and Dumplings, throw it in a flaky pie crust, I'll eat that too. We can call it Chicken Cobbler. With some mashed potatoes on the side. Gotta keep them carbs up I always say.

I'm trying to go to bed, and you bringing all this up?

My granny made a chicken pot pie totally scratch that was killer....I’ve tried others but they were nasty

I will take pictures of my next one, Wife likes the ones I make, we are sticking to a very low sodium diet so only choice is make your own with homemade crust.

Cracker Barrel they seem to be a seasonal menu item, Boston Market is good, KFC isn't bad.

KFC has a really good one

X4 for KFC

Looks good!

Don, I agree with you. I have tried store bought and homemade and never found one I like.

Believe these guys above touting KFC. They really are good. When they were on the 2 for $6 it was even better.

Mimi’s Cafe Arlington. You’re welcome.

Go, Try Marie Calanders pot pie's.

I know frozen in grocery store, but man they are good.

How about crawfish pie?

Love it, and easy to make.

That's what I plan to get.

Went to Cracker Barrel for lunch, and she got the chicken pot pie and pronounced it delicious. She said it had more chicken than the cheap versions, which makes sense.

The itch has been scratched. Thanks for your input.

Delicious in cold weather.

Outstanding!!

Their chicken & dumplings is good, too.
