As a kid my mom made chicken pot pies and I always loved them. I wanted to find a pretty healthy version of the classic dish that I could make at home. This one is from Kraft foods, slightly modified.
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or tenders, cut into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup Italian dressing
4 oz neufchatel cheese, cubed
2 tbsp flour
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
8 oz frozen mixed veggies (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
1 ready-to-use refrigerated pie crust
Cook chicken in dressing in large skillet or dutch oven on medium heat until mostly cooked through. Add neufchatel; cook and stir 3-5 minutes or until melted. Stir in flour until well blended. Add broth and vegetables; stir. Simmer 5 minutes. Pour into deep-dish pie plate or 2-qt round casserole dish; cover with pie crust. Seal and flute edge. Cut slits in crust to permit steam to escape.
If eating tonight, bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until golden brown. If freezing, cover with press-n-seal and then foil. You will bake it frozen - 400 degrees for one hour with foil then 30 minutes uncovered.

My family adores this recipe - it's delicious! Tonight I made it with a bottom crust as well as the top crust, per my husband's request (he was in the mood for more "crunch"). Yum!
