I'm making chicken pot pie for a group in a few weeks and was thinking of using puff pastry [View all]

for the crust. Good idea or no? If yes, should it be rolled out or laid on as a piece (seems a bit thick to me but some on-line recipes suggest this). Am comfortable working with puff pastry and usually love the taste.

I'm also open to any alternate crust suggestions you might offer. Whats your favorite buttery topping for a (13"x9&quot pot pie?

Thanks for the help-will check back in tomorrow.

Not that it really matters but this is my first thread on DU3. Cheers!
