The best pot pie

Saw this recipe in one of my magazines and am so glad I tried it - DE-LISH!

Joe is not big on casseroles, salads, pot pies...anything where things are mixed together really :) So he did not try it - but I brought out the leftovers (along with some freshly baked homemade mac & cheese) for our friends on Saturday night and it was a big hit with them too! So if you happen to be the "pot pie type" - here's the recipe: (See my notes below recipe)

*Rachel's notes: I have never bought a rotisserie chicken but I found boneless chicken thighs in my freezer so I boiled & shredded that instead, I did not have fresh parsley so I used cilantro, I did not have white wine, so I used cooking sherry, and I did a whole pie instead of ramekins...I think that's all! The flavors were amazing, will definitely make again - maybe even with cilantro instead of parsley again!! YUM!
