CHICKEN PAN PIE
I'm making chicken pot pie in a pan, which is usually still called chicken pot pie, but it shouldn't be since it really is a completely different, far superior, species with a much higher crust-to-filling ratio, making it even more savory and deeply delicious.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Melt butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and salt. Cook, stirring, until onions start to soften, and the edges begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken, and cook, stirring, until the chicken loses its pink color, and starts to brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over top, then cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Stir in carrots, celery, black pepper, and cayenne.
- Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it's as thick as you want, 5 to 10 minutes. For a thick, sticky filling once baked, reduce until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. For a saucier filling, don't reduce the mixture at all.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the peas and thyme. Taste for seasoning and reserve until needed.
- Roll out pie or pastry dough to form a circle about 14 inches in diameter.
- Fold over 1/2 inch of dough all the way around, and then crimp the edge to make a decorative scalloped design. Cut or punch out a 1-inch hole in the center of the dough.
- Place the pan on top of a sheet pan in case filling bubbles over in the oven. Carefully place the dough over the filling, and adjust until it's centered. Press the crust lightly into the filling. Brush the top with an egg wash if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crust is browned and filling is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening in the dough. This will create a crust that is both tender and flavorful.
- To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
- Use a variety of vegetables in the filling to add flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peas, and corn.
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of light and dark meat chicken in the filling.
- Season the filling generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- If you don't have time to make your own crust, you can use a store-bought pie crust.
- To make sure the pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the filling. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
