As the fall weather begins to approach, I thought a Chickpea Potpie would be the perfect recipe to share with you all today! I have a new found love of chickpea’s and serve them with many different things that I make! I decided to change the traditional chicken pot pie into a CHICKPEA pot pie! I really enjoyed the flavor of this and will be making it many more times. The only thing is that I couldn’t wait to dive in and eat it, so I didn’t let it sit long enough to thicken up! When you make it, you have the sauce going and then toss in the frozen veggies….so simple!
Then don’t forget those delicious chick peas!
Mix it all together and prepare to put it into a pie pan.
After you have it all in there, lay the top of the pie crust over it all, flute it, and then cut slits into the center.
See, I pulled mine out and dove into it wayyyyy too soon. It needed to sit for some time longer.
Pair with a salad and you have dinner all set!

Oh my gosh!! I am so excited to try this recipe. My husband and I went vegetarian just three years ago. We are still so new to all the possibilities. We saw a recipe for chicken pot pie a couple weeks ago and both said OMG that sounds so good! Now I find your recipe and I can’t wait to give it a try. I do have a question, Have you made it again since this posting? If so, have you found and changes you would recommend in making it turn out perfect? I am planning to make this next weekend, my weekdays do not allow for cooking. Any tips to make it better please let me know. If it is the perfect recipe, please let me know that also. Thanks a ton!!
