Joys Chicken Pot Pies Recipes

BEST HOMEMADE CHICKEN POT PIE RECIPE (FROM SCRATCH)

Steps:

• Add flour, sea salt, sugar, butter and ice cold water to the container of a food processor fitted with the "S" blade.
• Process until coarse crumbs form.
• Dump the dough mixture out onto a work surface and form it into a ball. Then divide it into two equal portions and form those portions into two discs.
• Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
• After crust has chilled and you are ready to make the chicken pot pie:
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, onion powder, garlic powder, garlic salt and pepper.
• Add milk and whisk until combined, set aside.
• In a 4-quart pan over medium heat, boil water.
• Add chicken bouillon and whisk until dissolved.
• Add milk/dry ingredient mixture to boiling water/bouillon, whisk to combine.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick (about 3 minutes).
• Remove from heat, cover and set aside.
• Add potatoes, 2 TBS butter and garlic and water to a large, nonstick saucepan and cover. Cook covered for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally.
• Add carrots, onion, celery and additional 2 TBS butter. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, or until soft, stirring occasionally.
• Add peas, corn, chicken and sauce. Stir until combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Roll out both discs of dough.
• Fit one disc to the bottom of the pie plate. Roll out the second to be used as the top.
• Place bottom dough into the pie plate.
• Put filling on top of the crust.
• Add the other crust on top, pinch the edges together and cut an "X" in the top.
• Whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream.
• Brush it all over the crust with a pastry brush.
• Use a pie crust shield to protect the outer crust.
• Bake at 425 for 30 - 35 minutes on the lower rack of your oven, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Remove the pie crush shield in the last 5 minutes of baking if the outer crust is not browning.
• Remove from the oven and place the chicken pot pie on a wire cooling rack. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
