Creamy Chicken Pot Pie (No peas or Carrots 😳)

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie *Makes 1-3 Pies* I love a good chicken pot pie. Traditionally they aren’t particularly creamy and they usually involve a bag of frozen peas & carrot mix. However, Julie doesn’t eat either so I subbed the two veggies she does eat - green beans and corn. You can use fresh or frozen veggies. I used the the steamer bags that came with garlic butter in the bag and I used fresh local corn cobs, boiled with kernels cut. They are crisp and sweet! I added cream and cream cheese to the filling to make it extra savory for my picky eaters! I usually make & bake 1 pie, and freeze the rest of the filling for another day in a freezer bag Ingredients: (1) Rotisserie chicken picked and chopped. Place in large bowl. (1) bag green bean steamer bag w seasoning - cooked and chopped (1) bag little potatoes steamer bag w seasoning cooked and chopped (1) Vidalia onion chopped (1) yellow bell pepper chopped (2) stalks celery chopped (2) cloves garlic chopped (1) Handful fresh pou...
