OLD FASHIONED CHICKEN POT PIE IN A PAN
From start-to-finish, this is a "feel good" dinner--it screams "Home Cookin'" and "I love you!"...in sweet tones, of course! Use your bread machine for the dough (like I do) or make from scratch on your own (more brownie points!). Not a "fast" or "simple" recipe...but WELL-WORTH the effort (wait'll you hear the sighs of delight---you'll know what I mean). COOKING time does NOT include bread-machine cycle.

Steps:
- FOR THE CRUST.
- Place all ingredients in your bread-maker (according to manufacturer's directions, mine go in "liquid first"); program for "Dough" or "Manual" then press "Start.".
- The dough will be very sticky at first (like biscuit dough); it will firm up by the end of the kneading time.
- While the dough is kneading, prepare the filling.
- FOR THE FILLING.
- Cook chicken breasts in your normal way (I use water & cooking sherry), reserve broth and separate fat if you can (used in the Gravy).
- Melt butter in hot pan, saute onion & carrots until lightly browned, add celery, saute until limp-ish.
- Dump veggies and chicken into large bowl.
- FOR THE GRAVY.
- Melt butter and fat (USE ALL BUTTER IF YOU DIDN'T SEPARATE THE FAT FROM THE BROTH) in same pan (as veggies), whisk in the flour.
- S-L-O-W-L-Y add the reserved broth, continually whisking out the lumps.
- Whisk in the cream and S & P.
- Turn off the heat, stir in meat & veggies.
- FOR THE GLAZE:.
- In a small bowl, mix egg and water, beating to a frothy mess; set aside.
- ASSEMBLY.
- Lightly spray or butter a 13x9 pan; pour chicken/gravy mixture into this dish.
- Transfer bread dough to a floured work surface; knead by hand five times (count 'em); now let it rest for five minutes (this works, trust me).
- Flour a rolling pin and roll dough into a 10 x 14-inch rectangle; do NOT over-work the dough, light touches are best!
- Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut rolled-out dough into two-inch squares or diamonds if you're really creative!
- Place squares/diamonds on top of the chicken-veg-gravy mixture in the pan--aim for a cobblestone look (overlap them a bit).
- Brush generously with egg glaze (this will give the dough a nice brown--slightly shiny--finish).
- Put into a COLD oven, turn heat to 350 (the dough will rise a bit while the oven heats); bake 35-45 minutes--the dough will be a lovely rich brown color.
- Let rest about 5 minutes before serving.
- With a green salad or a fruit salad on the side you have climbed to the top of the pedestal!
OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN POT PIE RECIPE
Peggy Smith wore many hats during her time with the Southern Living editorial staff and Test Kitchen professionals. In November, 1992, Peggy was the Marketing Manager, keeping six Southern Living pantries stocked with all the necessary ingredients that went into the daily recipe testings. Suffice it to say, she knew a thing or two about quality ingredients and how they can make or break a recipe. Nonetheless, she once tried taking a shortcut and served her family a frozen pot pie instead of their favorite, her homemade chicken pot pie. She never tried that again. One bite of this delicious comfort food, and you will understand why Peggy's family insisted on the homemade version.

Tips:
- To make the crust, use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Then, add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this will make the crust tough.
- For a flakier crust, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- When making the filling, be sure to cook the chicken and vegetables until they are tender. This will help to ensure that the pot pie is cooked through.
- To thicken the filling, add a cornstarch slurry. This is made by mixing equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, stir it into the boiling pot pie filling until it thickens.
- Don't forget to vent the top crust of the pot pie before baking. This will allow steam to escape and prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Serve the pot pie hot with a side of your favorite vegetables.
Conclusion:
Old-fashioned chicken pot pie is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold winter day.
