If you love a great old-fashioned chicken pot pie I would like to suggest you try out the classic Old-Fashioned Chicken Pot Pie Recipe by San Giorgio! This one happens to be our favorite! Instead of using bouillon cubes we prefer to use Better Than Bouillon Low-Sodium Chicken Base.

San Giorgio Old-Fashioned Pot Pie Recipe

3 lb. chicken pieces
12 cups water
3 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups diced peeled potatoes
1 1/2 cups sliced carrots (we omit them)
