A chicken pot pie wouldn’t be the comforting, decadent dish that it is today without that flakey, golden brown crust canopied above white sauce, vegetables, and chicken. It becomes even more irreplaceable, though, when you add that combination to some crispy, salty fries, like we did in this recipe. Don’t skip the crust, though, just because the fries are there. Click here to see 15 Over-the-Top Fry RecipesClick here to see 101 Ways to Cook Chicken
