When the phrase “Chicken Pot Pie” is brought up, people might picture a traditional pie crust filled with tender chicken and a medley of vegetables, baked to golden perfection. However, here in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a unique interpretation of this beloved dish is featured, which is known simply as Pot Pie.
At Shady Maple, we take immense pride in continuing this rich tradition of Pennsylvania Dutch Pot Pie. Since the doors of the Shady Maple Smorgasbord were opened by Marvin and Miriam Weaver in 1985, their cherished family recipes have been shared with our guests. Many of these, like our signature PA Dutch Chicken Pot Pie, have stood the test of time and are still being lovingly prepared today.
What sets our Pennsylvania Dutch-style Pot Pie apart is its delightful combination of square noodles, which are handmade right in the Shady Maple Bakery. These noodles are immersed in a hearty, soupy broth that features tender chunks of chicken, hearty potatoes, colorful carrots, and just the right blend of seasonings. Each bowl is served steaming hot, making it the perfect dish to warm you up on crisp fall evenings.
You are invited to stop by Shady Maple on Wednesdays for lunch or dinner to taste this comforting classic for yourself. Experience the flavors of our heritage and see why our Pot Pie has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Come hungry, and prepare to fall in love with this quintessential taste of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine!
