This is the dinner that my mom made every Halloween growing up and it’s always been one of my favorites. This meal is Fall to me. It’s also the recipe that The Chickie Chow, one of our ‘Crustomers’ favorite dinner pies from Crust Club, is based off of. It’s full of chicken and veggies making it hearty and filling on a cool Fall evening.
