One key tip for a flaky crust is to keep your ingredients cold, especially the butter. A common mistake is overcooking the filling, which can make it too thick. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can also use leftover turkey instead of chicken for a delicious variation!
