Pennsylvania Dutch chicken pot pie is a favorite that I only learned about when I met my husband who grew up in York, Pennsylvania. His mother made a delicious boiled chicken pot pie for us many times.
Luckily for us, she gave us her recipe well before her passing. You can find Millie's Chicken Pot Pie recipe here.
Millie's chicken pot pie and many that I've had in York is more of a hearty soup or stew with homemade noodles.
Once while we were visiting she made a baked pot pie. It was more of a large casserole with a crust. Something more like the pot pies you can find in some grocery store freezers or dinner.
Unfortunately, I never asked her how she made that version so I was on my own to create my own chicken pot pie casserole.
It's not earth-shattering. This chicken pot pie casserole is basically Millie's pot pie recipe without the noodles and uses puff pastry for the crust.
I thought about using her dough recipe to make a crust but decided to go the easier route with puff pastry.
This cut up puff pastry topping was my attempt to make it look fancy.
However, you could simply roll out the pastry and make sure it covers the entire pan.
It turned out really good, and true to many homestyle casseroles was even better the next day.

I'm moving into the zone of comfort foods and this was sounds fantastic. Love the idea of using puff pastry - light and flaky and the texture is nice too. This looks so good -I recently made chicken soup and now it might just be time to move onto this pot pie.
