Though the picture below doesn't look tempting enough,but overall the taste was yummy and delicious.I was shopping,saw the pan and decided to buy home and make this.A few days ago,I had bought a recipe book and had this potato and chicken pie recipe in it,so why not try it?The last time that I made chicken pie was 12 years ago.That was a very long time ago.This is just another recipe from a new book.
