Steps:
- In a large stockpot add the chicken breasts and cover with water add salt pepper and bay leaves. Place over medium heat and cook for 15-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F/ 74°C.
- Transfer chicken to a bowl to cool for 10 minutes. Keep the liquid the chicken cooked in to use as the chicken broth for the pie filling. I like to chop half of the chicken into chunks and take the other chicken and shred it by using a hand mixer to quickly and easily shred it. Set the chicken aside.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F/218°C.
- In a large 12" oven-safe skillet or dish add the butter and melt over medium-low heat. Add the onion and saute for a couple of minutes then add the celery and carrots and a pinch of salt and pepper then saute for five-ish more minutes, the onions will be translucent and the celery and carrots will have started to ever so slightly soften.
- Add the garlic, flour, and remaining salt and pepper. Stir well and cook for a couple of minutes until all the flour has transformed into a thick paste-like consistency.
- Now deglaze the pan by slowly adding the chicken stock and using a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan, all those brown bits are super flavorful. Once all of the broth is added slowly stream in the milk. Now mix continuously for a few minutes, until the mixture has thickened. Add in the chicken and combine, then finally the frozen peas. Remove from heat and set aside while you prepare the top.
- On a clean work surface roll out the puff pastry sheet and roll into a 14"X8" rectangle, reroll back onto the rolling pin to gently move on top of the skillet, and unroll there. One side will be slightly exposed, use a sharp knife to cut the excess and use the excess to cover up the exposed pie filling. Take another sheet of puff pastry and roll out slightly then cut squares to use as decoration around the side of the pie. Use a designed cookie cutter if desired.
- Use an egg wash to brush the back of each decoration so that it sticks to the pie top. Cover the whole pie with an egg wash and cut a slit or two in the center to let steam escape and bake for 20 minutes, if the pastry is browning too quickly cover with foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, you want deep golden brown pastry and a bubbling pie filling. Let cool for at least 5-10 minutes before serving.
THE PASTRY QUEEN'S ALL SOLD OUT CHICKEN POT PIE
This is a FABULOUS recipe by The Pastry Queen, Rebecca Rather, from her cookbook "The Pastry Queen: Royally Good Recipes from the Texas Hill Country's Rather Sweet Cafe." She says she can never make enough of these wonderful pot pies to satisfy her loyal customers. After trying this recipe, I can certainly see why. PURE comfort food here! When fall comes, this is what you'll be craving. I usually take two days to put these together--stewing the chicken and sauteeing the vegetables on the first day; making the cream sauce and the crust the second day. Do not be intimidated by the crust! It's just a top crust and hangs over the side of the dish in a rustic, country fashion. Very, very easy to roll out and work with. Also, don't buy any special oven proof bowls for this recipe--I always make it in two 9" pie plates and it fills them nicely. I add about 10 minutes to the bake time, but watch carefully so they don't burn. This recipe is super flexible; feel free to add in your favorite vegetables. I always add carrots to mine--I love the sweetness they add--a perfect contrast to the savory flavor of the pie.

Steps:
- To make the filling:.
- Melt the butter in a large sauté pan set over medium heat. Add the onion and potato; sauté for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, bell pepper, and mushrooms and sauté about 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Stir in the crushed red pepper and add salt and pepper to taste.
- While the vegetables are sauteing, skin the chicken, pull the meat off the bones and shred the meat or cut into bite-size pieces. Place the green beans in a microwave-safe bowl and add enough water to cover. Cover the dish and microwave on high power about 10 minutes, until the beans are tender. Drain thoroughly. Stir the beans, peas and chicken into the vegetable mixture. Set the filling aside.
- To make the cream sauce:.
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the chicken stock and cook the sauce over medium heat until it thickens to the consistency of a cream soup. Add the cream, hot pepper sauce, and salt and white pepper to taste. Pour the cream sauce over the chicken filling and stir to combine. Fill individual 1'/4-cup capacity oven-safe bowls three - quarters of the way to the top with the creamed chicken filling.
- To make the crust:.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the butter into 16 pieces. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, pulse the butter and flour until crumbly. Add the cream cheese, salt, and white pepper. Continue pulsing just until the dough forms a ball.
- Set the dough on a flat surface dusted with flour. Use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough out to 1/4-inch thickness. Measure the diameter of the pot pie bowls-mine are about 4 inches across-and cut out dough rounds that are 1 1/2 inches larger in diameter. Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Lay the dough rounds on top of the pot pies, making sure the dough hangs evenly over each bowl. Brush the dough lightly with the beaten egg. Bake the pies for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- At least 3 1/2 hours (or up to one day) before the filling is ready, roll puff pastry out on a lightly floured surface to a 3/16-inch-thick square. Place on a baking sheet, wrap tightly with plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Remove chilled dough from refrigerator, and place on a cutting board. Directly onto the dough, invert a bowl or place a lid that is 2 1/2 to 3 inches larger in diameter than a 3-quart round casserole or souffle dish. With a sharp knife, cut around the bowl or lid so that you have a perfect circle. Return the circle of dough to the baking sheet, wrap tightly with plastic, and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Place a rack in lower two-thirds portion of the oven. A convection oven is ideal; preheat it to 375 degrees. If you don't have a convection oven, preheat a conventional oven to 425 degrees. In a large heavy-bottom pot, melt 5 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add onion, potatoes, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes and carrots are fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are heated through. Add cognac, and cook for 30 seconds. Add flour, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour in chicken stock and milk. Bring to a simmer; cook until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chicken, peas, parsley, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to 3-quart casserole or souffle dish. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Make egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together egg, egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon water. Remove dough circle from refrigerator, and brush surface evenly with egg wash. Invert dough and place directly over the casserole, pressing lightly to seal overhanging crust to the side of the dish. Brush top surface of dough with egg wash. With a 1/2-inch large round pastry tip (Ateco #7), cut a small circle in the center of the pastry, removing the pastry circle, and insert the pastry tip, narrow side down, into cut-out hole. This allows the steam to vent.
- Transfer casserole to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes; cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent crust from burning, and continue baking for 25 minutes more. Serve hot.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't just stick to carrots and celery. Try adding other vegetables like leeks, mushrooms, peas, or corn.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken should be cooked through, but not dry. Overcooked chicken will make your pot pie tough.
- Make sure the filling is thick enough: The filling should be thick enough to hold its shape when you spoon it into the pie crust. If it's too thin, it will be runny and messy.
- Use a good quality pie crust: A good pie crust will make all the difference in your pot pie. You can use a store-bought pie crust, but a homemade pie crust is always best.
- Don't overfill the pie crust: The pie crust should be filled to the brim, but not overstuffed. If you overfill the pie crust, it will be difficult to seal and the filling will bubble out.
- Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown: The pot pie should be baked until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pot pie cool slightly before serving: This will give the filling time to set and the pie will be easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With a little bit of planning, you can have a delicious chicken pot pie on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give chicken pot pie a try.
