Notes

Will something so easy really be praiseworthy? Yes. Yes, it will. Comforting? You bet. 
A few things to consider when preparing this:
-Allow the pie crust to come to room temperature before working with it. Otherwise, it will crack and fall apart. 
-You can Google a video on how to pinch together sides of crust but really, it will not matter how it looks! Don't sweat it. 
-Keep in mind that using canned soup will contain sodium. You can add in salt and pepper but once you add too much salt, you cannot take it out. I did this once! 
A word on cooking chicken breasts: 
I always cook my own chicken for pot pies either by roasting a chicken the day before or cooking chicken breasts. When using chicken breasts, place on a cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle on salt and pepper. Bake until done but do not overcook. I cut up the breast into bite-size pieces with a fork and a pizza wheel.
