A foolproof recipe to deliver ultimate comfort on the dreariest of days, make this rich and creamy homemade chicken pot pie with local Ontario milk, cream and cheddar, mixed with carrots, celery and onion and topped with flaky puff pastry! We've opted for a store-bought puff pastry to make the recipe more weeknight conducive but feel free to make your own pastry if up for the challenge.
