Chicken pies are filling, delicious, addictive and so "New England!"

This traditional, local dish has been a favorite through the years from grandma's kitchen to restaurants in the six-state region. We have tried chicken pies outside of New England, but there's just something about the way it's made here that has an extra dimension.

Residing in Massachusetts for many years, we have found three restaurants to consistently offer amazing chicken pies:

The Salem Cross Inn, West Brookfield, Mass
. Plenty of chicken, a wonderful buttermilk biscuit and beyond fresh vegetables along real mashed potatoes make this chicken pot pie our hands-down favorite! Editor's note: not always on the menu, so please call ahead to see when being offered. Salem Cross Inn, Route 9, West Brookfield, MA. Tel. (508) 867-2345. You can read more on the Salem Cross Inn right here.

Harrow's, Reading, Mass. The slow-cooked chicken delicious gravy and perfectly formed crust have made Harrow's a local favorite for more than 70 years. I remember having my first Harrow's chicken pie in 1970 and still consider them the best in New England! Take-out only. Harrows Chicken Pies, 126 Main St., Reading, MA. Tel. (781) 944-0410.

Concord's Colonial Inn in Concord, Mass.
, offers a fabulous chicken pie with tender chicken, peas, pearl onions, carrots, corn and celery. When combined with a creamy sauce and melt-in-your mouth crust, this is about as good as it gets!
