I made this chicken pot pie with cornbread crust on Sunday because it just felt like the perfect dish to make on a chilly, rainy Sunday. I already had some shredded rotisserie chicken that was used for the creamy piquillo pepper and chickpea soup with chicken recipe. I also decided to add in mashed potatoes since I had some leftover mashed red potatoes (click here for mashed red potatoes recipe). This chicken pot pie with cornbread crush was a comforting dish for a rainy fall day. The cornbread is slightly sweet and provides a great texture to the creamy chicken pot pie filling. This recipe gave me extra chicken pot pie filling that I made a couple of mini shepherd's pie too! I plan to post that recipe next so check back here tomorrow. Enjoy!
