Recipe Review: Chicken Pot Pie with White Sauce

I was looking online for ideas for freezer meals, and a website suggested chicken pot pie.

I made this highly rated recipe from the Taste of Home website.  The recipe makes two pies, so I made one for our family and one for a friend.

To keep things easy, I used refrigerated Pillsbury pie crust and frozen mixed vegetables--I cut the green beans in half for a better size.  I cubed and boiled red potatoes with the skin on (2 cups is about 1-1/2 large red potatoes).  I purchased salt-free chicken stock instead of broth (stock has a richer flavor).  I followed the recipe and LOVED the white sauce that goes into the pie.

I appreciated that the recipe including instructions for freezing the pie and baking it later.

This is not low calorie -- it's definitely comfort food (lots of butter!).  But just a slice fills you up.  I want to try this again in the future using coconut milk for a dairy-free recipe.
