Chicken Pot Pie

I have to say this is an excellent Homefaker meal! It went together in a matter of minutes when I used storebought crust and rotisserie chicken. If you eggwash the crust no one will ever know you didn't slave over a rolling pin ! I served a little side salad, and Bam...a hearty meal with literally 10 minutes of prep time...and oh the smell when it is baking in the oven,....divine!!
