pairings, please

Am planning to make meggers' chicken pot pie this weekend for my dear little brother who is coming over for dinner. Is kind of an all day process, the pot pie, at least for those of us (i.e. me) who are slow cookers because we don't cook that much. Just don't have the knife skills. Anyways, what is a good side dish to chicken pot pie? It pretty much covers all the food groups on its own. A salad is really all it should take, right? Or perhaps a cheese/cracker orderve (yeah, i don't spell it right on principle) type situation??

And beverages? White wine? I'd go with beer, myself, but brother wants to bring wine. I suspect other relatives have gone to vineyards and purchased wine, so he's just going to grab some on his way out the door as a "hostess gift". Which I'm sure he's never heard of a hostess gift before, but am proud for his thinking of it nonetheless.

Whatever feedback, I always look for an excuse to make the chicken pot pie!!! Who else from Birch D has experienced the pot pie?

hrmmm good question about what goes with pot pie. because it does cover the bases. cheese? cranberry sauce? salad of greens? dessert. i would say beer or white wine go with chicken.

i would say a leafy green salad.
maybe just mixed greens + vinagrette.
