In honor of April 20th, Nonna cooked a Chicken Pot Pie with help from R2D2 (Nonna’s instant pot)! This chicken pot pie is not only easy to make, but the recipe is, also, easy to modify. You can use almost any spice, seasonings, meat or vegetable to make a meal that fits your family’s unique tastes. Nonna shows you how to thicken the filling quickly and surround that filling with a light and crispy crust. Even better, the most unskilled baker can manage the crust for this pie!
