Step 7

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt your mozzarella cheese for about 30 seconds until the cheese is just melted.

Step 9

Stir in the remaining dough ingredients into the mozzarella.

Step 10

Step 11

Spread the dough over the top of the chicken pot pie mixture and press to the sides to cover. Poke a few holes into the crust to allow steam to escape while the pie cooks.
