Chicken pot pie is comfort food, and it smells amazing when baking in the oven. As with all types of comfort food, everyone has their own way of making it – and this recipe is perfect for us dogs. It’s customized to suit our doggie style taste.
The biggest change I make from a recipe for humans is that I omit the cream and add some yogurt, I also do away with the buttery crust and swap it with some yummy oats. This is a perfect recipe if you are making your own chicken pot pie, just put aside some chicken for your dogs chicken pot pie and everyone will have a delicious meal.
