Ingredients
- 4 whole chicken breasts bone-in, skin-on
- 1/4 cup good olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Ground black pepper
- 5 cups of homemade chicken stock or homemade turkey stock
- 2 chicken bouillon cubes
- 12 tbsp 1 & 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
- 8 oz. chopped mushrooms (shiitake are nice) about 1 & 1/2 cups
- 2 cups yellow onions chopped
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups carrots 1/4" slices, - blanched in boiling water for a couple minutes
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Perfect pie crust
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F
- Place chicken breasts on a baking sheet and rub with oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 65 minutes (internal temp should be 165 F) - set aside until cool enough to handle.
- Remove meat from bones and discard the skin - cut the chicken into large bites.
- Heat the stock in a medium pan. Dissolve the bouillon cubes in the stock.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat and add the onions and mushrooms, cook until translucent - about 15 minutes.
- Add the flour and cook over low heat, for about 2 minutes.
- Add the hot stock to the sauce, simmer for another minute or somewhat until thickened.
- Add 1 teaspoon of Kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and heavy cream.
- Add the cubed chicken, carrots, peas, and parsley. Mix well.
- Taste and add more salt, if needed.
- Pour filling into 4 oven-proof bowls.
- Brush egg wash around the top edges of the bowls.
- Cut the dough so it fits over the top of each bowl, with about a half inch lip around the sides. (if desired, cut additional decorative leaf-like shapes to add on top of the pot pies)
- Place cut dough on top of each bowl. Press the sides against the edges of the bowl.
- Brush the dough with egg wash, and then sprinkle with coarse salt (sea salt, or Kosher) and freshly ground black pepper.
- Make 3 or 4 slits in center of each dough topping.
- Place on baking sheets and bake for 45 minutes.
- Let rest for at least 15 minutes (filling is extremely hot!!)
