Chicken Potpie

Chicken potpie is both an example of the best of American home cooking and a kind of culinary miracle worker, with a creamy sauce and a flaky pastry lid that are guaranteed to calm even the most jangled nerves. Both the pastry and the filling can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 8 hours before assembling and baking.
