Friends rave every time I make this dish. It's a comfort food recipe, and I especially enjoy making it on cold or rainy days. I often use a whole chicken cut into pieces and skinned. You can make the store-bought chicken stock taste more like homemade by adding some fresh herbs and parsley and simmering until it's reduced by half.
The fresh salsa called for here has a natural low-sodium advantage over bottled commercial salsa, but if you don't want to make your own salsa, buy a container of fresh salsa from your grocery store deli section.
Some classics can't be improved. Pot pie, it turns out, isn't one of them. A delicate crust yields to veggies and chicken in a-wait for it-cheesy sauce. Yes, we said cheesy.
