Ingredients
Fresh Pie Dough:
1 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
1 stick of butter, diced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup of ice water
Pie Filling
2 carrots, quartered
1 onion, diced
1 package of sliced mushrooms
2 potatoes, diced
4 tbsp butter, divided
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups of cooked chicken, diced
2 cups of chicken broth
3 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tsp dried oregano
3 tbsp all purpose flour
salt & pepper
1 egg + tsp of water for egg wash
Chicken Pot Pie (450 per slice)
Directions
Pie Dough
- Combine flour and salt, then add in the cubes of butter and mix them to it's course texture (similar to corn meal)
- A tablespoon at a time, add in water and mix until the dough forms a ball.
- Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 425, and roll out pie crust and set aside (be sure to use extra flour so it does not stick).
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat, add onions, carrots, mushrooms, parsley, oregano, and salt & pepper. Cook and stir until the vegetables till they are soft (10-15 minutes).
- Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add in potatoes and cook until they are tender but still firm. (this should also help soften the rest of the vegetables)
- While potatoes are boiling, in a sauce pan, melt the remaining butter. Add chicken cubes and flour. Allow to cook for 2 minutes, then add milk and heat through.
- When potatoes are tender, add the chicken/flour/milk mixture into the pan with veggies and cook until thickens.
- Assemble your pie pan(s), and pour mixture into the pie pan, and place a pie crust on top of the filling. Flute the edges, and make 4 slits to allow steam to release. Using a cooking brush, add a good layer of egg wash and sprinkling of kosher salt to help give it a golden brown.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce oven to 350 and continue baking for 20 minutes, the crust should be a golden brown.
- Enjoy!
