Question 1

Is it possible to use puff pastry instead of pie crust?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You still get the golden flaky top crust if you only use puff pastry for the top. If desired, put it on both layers.

Question 2

Can I prepare the filling ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Certainly. You can prepare the filling up to two days beforehand and it will keep well in the refrigerator. Then at baking time, simply put together your pie, bake as usual.

Question 3

What should I do if I want dairy-free chicken pot pie?

Question 4

Can you cook turkey instead of chicken?

Accepted Answer

Sure. Used turkey tastes great, especially after Thanksgiving or Christmas; the rest of the strategy is still the same.
