Classic Chicken Pot Pie

The pastry on top was too big and the part below was too dry and we could hardly find the veggies just shredded chicken.

Chicken was tough, and the zucchini was also like very stringy.

Taste great, and nutritional. I only wish there was less sauce (which spilled) and more spinach. Other than that, I am satisfied.

It was just okay for us. I would rather have cubed pieces of chicken breast or pieces of chicken thighs rather than shredded chicken. Shredded meat tends to lose its place and get over powered.
