" Chicken pot pie is a project. From making and rolling out dough to creating a roux and baking the whole thing, it&amp;#039;s the type of meal best reserved for Sunday afternoons when it&amp;#039;s too frigid or rainy to do anything outside. Even family-sized frozen pies can be a hassle\u2014during a recent taste test, the top frozen chicken pot pie took a whopping 90 minutes in the oven. Ain&amp;#039;t nobody got time for that\u2014especially when the meal isn&amp;#039;t at all homemade. That&amp;#039;s what makes Waffle Fry Pot Pie a game-changer. It seems absurd at first: Waffle fries on top of a pie? Really?! But those seasoned fries add a little crunch (and zestiness), and when paired with a store-bought pie crust, the whole meal takes less than an hour to make. Suddenly, chicken pot pie can be a satisfying, from-scratch weeknight meal.  This recipe was inspired by waffle fry and tater tot-topped pot pies and shepherd&amp;#039;s pies spotted online (if you&amp;#039;re feeling fancy, you&amp;#039;ve got to try A Dish of Daily Life&amp;#039;s version, which includes a white wine and Dijon-based sauce). Since time is of the essence, we skipped the roux and went with Cream of Chicken soup as the base.  Really, though, the key is overloading the pie with plenty of vegetables and chicken. If you&amp;#039;re not getting at least one piece of chicken in every bite, you&amp;#039;re doing it wrong.   With these shortcuts, dinner can be on the table in 30 minutes\u2014and you&amp;#039;ll have enough time while the pie&amp;#039;s baking to throw together a salad (maybe one of these?) and pour a glass of wine. You&amp;#039;ll never go for the frozen kind again. Get the recipe here.  PIN FOR LATER     Follow Delish on Instagram.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
