Chicken and Bacon Pot Pie
Pot pies are one of our favorite dishes to try, thanks to their savory, warm interior, and their crunchy outer layer. This one uses chicken as its star ingredient, but don’t underestimate the power of the other ingredients, like bacon, veggies, sun-dried tomatoes and olives. All of them are simmered in tomato sauce, topped with a generous amount of Cheddar. The results are mouthwatering.
