Chef Tips:
- You can cook the potatoes in the microwave while you prepare the filling for a lightning-fast meal.
- To save on prep time, you can use a frozen peas and carrots blend or your favorite frozen mixed vegetable blend. Your local store may also carry frozen diced onions.
- Make a large batch of the chicken pot pie filling and freeze it for individual pot pies or future lunches.
- If you cannot find each dried herb individually, try a salt-free poultry seasoning mix.
