Lightened Up Chicken Pot Pie

The crust situation on a pot pie seems to vary widely depending on your region. Feel free to tweak the recipe accordingly to make room for your favorite crust-type. I quite like the puff pastry because it is simple and the results are impressive. Other good options include pie crust, biscuits, phyllo dough and crescent rolls.
