Ingredients:

• 1 homemade pie crust ((2 disks))
• 4 cups cooked chicken (shredded*)
• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion ((1 cup chopped))
• 2 medium carrots ((1 cup) thinly sliced)
• 8 oz white or brown mushrooms ((stems discarded), sliced)
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tsp fine sea salt (or to taste, plus kosher salt to garnish)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper (plus more to garnish)
• 1 cup frozen peas (do not thaw)
• 1/4 cup parsley (finely chopped, plus more to garnish)
• 1 egg (beaten for egg wash)

Instruction:

1. In a dutch oven or pot, melt 6 Tbsp butter. Add diced onions and carrots and saute 8 minutes over medium heat until soft.
2. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic and saute another 5 minutes until mushrooms are softened.
3. Add 1/3 cup flour and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Add chicken stock, and 1/2 cup heavy cream then bring to a simmer and cook 1 minute or until mixture is a thick gravy consistency. Add 2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, or season to taste. It should be well-seasoned.
4. Add shredded cooked chicken, frozen peas, and 1/4 cup parsley. Stir to combine then remove from heat and cool slightly while you roll out the crusts. Roll 1 chilled pie crust disk into a 12” diameter circle. Carefully transfer it into a 9” pie dish. Spoon the pie filling over the bottom crust.
5. Roll the second disk of pie dough into a 10” diameter circle and place over the pie filling. Fold the excess dough behind the bottom crust then crimp the pie crusts together to seal. Use a sharp paring knife to cut 5 small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush the top of the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle lightly with coarse salt and pepper.
6. Bake at 425˚F for 30-35 minutes or until top crust is golden brown. If edges are browning too fast, cover with a pie shield or make a shield by cutting a 4” diameter circle from the center of a sheet of foil and placing that over the pie. Once out of the oven, rest for 15 minutes to cool slightly before slicing.

Classic Pot Pie

This chicken pot pie is filled with tender chicken and flavorful vegetables. It’s the perfect comfort food recipe for the whole family!

Prep: 15min

Total: 1h

Yield: 12 serving(s)

Ingredients:

• 4 tbsp. butter
• 1/2 c. finely diced onion
• 1/2 c. finely diced carrot
• 1/2 c. finely diced celery
• 3 c. shredded cooked chicken or turkey
• 1/4 c. flour
• 3 c. low-sodium chicken broth, plus more if needed
• Splash of white wine (optional)
• 1/4 tsp. turmeric
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Chopped fresh thyme to taste
• 1/4 c. half-and-half or cream
• 1 whole unbaked pie crust
• 1 whole egg
• 2 tbsp. water

Instruction:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat, then add the onion, carrots, and celery. Stir them around until the onions start to turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the chicken or turkey and then sprinkle the flour over the top and stir it until it’s all combined with the turkey and vegetables. Cook for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth (and wine if using) and stir it around and let it cook and thicken.
4. Once it starts to thicken add the turmeric, salt, pepper, and thyme.
5. Add the half-and-half or cream, then stir the mixture and let it bubble up and thicken, about 3 minutes. If it seems overly thick, splash in a little more broth. Turn off the heat.
6. Pour the filling into a 2-quart baking dish. Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and lay it over the top of the dish. Press the dough so that the edges stick to the outside of the pan. Use a knife to cut little vents here and there in the surface of the dough.
7. Mix together the egg with 2 tablespoons water and brush it all over the surface of the crust. (You will have some egg wash left over.)
8. Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbly. To prevent the crust from getting too brown, you might want to cover it lightly with foil for the first 15 minutes of baking time.
9. Serve up servings by the (big ol’) spoonful!
