About

Why not, right? Why not ditch the crust from chicken pot pie? It's not the part that makes people happy. Crustless Pot Pie knows exactly what people want from their pot pie: the creamy, savory filling loaded with tender vegetables and juicy chicken. It also has some bowtie pasta to help scoop up all the sauce and some breadcrumbs to add a little crunch, because even with no crust, Crustless Pot Pie can't say no to a little crunch! Get your pie-on without the pie!
