Do you think this could be frozen? If so, would you bake it before freezing?

Thanks so much for posting this recipe! Hubby loved it! I did use Smart Balance instead of butter and used fat free chicken broth and fat free evaporated milk instead of the heavy cream. Works out to 5 points on Weight Watchers. Delish!

Yum! The whole family loved this recipe! I used leftover Thanksgiving turkey instead of chicken. For the pie crust, I used Recipe #230316. Very good, I will definitely make this recipe again!

This recipe is a definite keeper!! I used frozen mixed veggies, fat free half and half and refrigerated pie crusts. I had fresh tarragon, so I used it instead of the thyme. Hubby really liked this recipe!

MMMM! this is so good! I used evaporated milk & a bag of frozen mixed veggies. Also, I have a horrible time making chicken gravy and I have found that the gravy for this recipe would be perfect on it's own over potatoes! Thanks for 2 fabulous recipes!

This was perfect!! I used premade pie crusts, half of a 10 oz package of mixed veggies (corn, green beans, peas, and carrots), and added 1/4 cup cooked onion and one baking potato, cooked and cut into cubes. (and bumped the spices up a little bit to make up for adding the onion and potato) I also used 1% milk instead of cream or half and half, and it was still delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

This was amazing!! I substituted the cream with skim milk, and thickened it with some extra flour... and it turned out perfect!!

My family loved this as well, especially my 'pot-pie hating' daughter! I followed your idea of only using half the package of peas and carrots and added some leftover diced, roasted potatoes in place of them. Excellent flavor...I really like making my own sauce instead of adding a can of cream of whatever! I think I'll make a bit more sauce next time for my saucy husband :) Thanks Windchime for the keeper!

Her beautiful pictures make many of my recipes more appealing. :) My passion is my wonderful husband and homeschooling my two teen sons. It's a good thing I like to cook because they all have "man size" appetites!
