No worries! If you cannot find puff pastry, you can use pre-made pie dough for your chicken pot pie. Treat it the same way as you would the puff pastry. Cut into strips, brush with egg wash, and bake until golden brown.
Additionally, you can also use canned biscuits. Simply take the biscuits out of the can, arrange on top of the filling, and bake until the biscuits are done.
Can you freeze this recipe?
Yes! I would make the recipe through the pot pie filling. Add the filling to a freezer safe container and freeze until you’re ready to use it. Simply thaw, pour into a greased baking dish, and top with puff pastry.
