Ingredients

Filling
  • boneless, skinless chicken breast

    1.5 pounds

  • mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

    1 cup

  • onion

    1 medium

Sauce
  • butter

    2 tablespoons

  • all-purpose flour

    1 cup

  • chicken broth

    1 cup

Pastry
  • all-purpose flour

    2 cups

  • cold unsalted butter

    1 cup

  • ice water

    as needed


Instructions

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Ensure your oven is at the correct temperature for even cooking. If you have an oven thermometer, use it to verify the temperature.

  • 2
    Make the filling by sautéing the onion and mixed vegetables in butter until the vegetables are tender.

    This step is crucial for developing the flavors in the filling. Use a large skillet over medium heat and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Then add the chicken and cook until it's fully done.

  • 3
    Create the sauce by melting butter, whisking in flour, and slowly adding chicken broth.

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Whisk in the flour to make a roux, cooking for a minute. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens.

  • 4
    Combine the cooked filling and sauce, then season to taste.

    Add the sauce to the filling mixture and stir well. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

  • 5
    Make the pastry by combining flour and cold butter, gradually adding ice water until a dough forms.

    In a large bowl, combine the flour and cold butter. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball.

  • 6
    Roll out the pastry and place it into a pie dish, filling with the chicken mixture and covering with another pastry layer.

    On a floured surface, roll out the pastry to fit your pie dish. Place the pastry into the dish, trim the edges, and fill with the chicken mixture. Roll out another piece of pastry for the top crust, place it over the filling, and crimp the edges to seal.

  • 7
    Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.

    Place the pie in the oven and bake for about 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.

    I like this recipe for Chicken Pot Pie. It looks delicious and I want to try it. But I need to make some changes because I am allergic to gluten. I can use gluten-free flour to make the pastry crust. The filling looks very tasty with chicken, vegetables, and creamy sauce. I like that it has carrots, peas, and corn - my favorite vegetables. To make it, I will follow the steps carefully and use a translator to help me with some words. I wish the recipe had some pictures to show how to make the pastry crust and how the pie should look when it's done. But overall, I think it's a good recipe and I'm excited to try it with my gluten-free changes.

    I try make Chicken Pot Pie. Recipe is good, but I have problem. I am lactose intolerant, so I no like butter and chicken broth. I think I can change to lactose free, but it not same. Pie is very delicious, but I get stomachache. I like filling, chicken and vegetable is very tasty. Pastry crust is flaky, but I think I overwork it. Next time I try make with lactose free ingredient. I give 3 star, because it good recipe, but no good for me.

  • Sofiargentina

    Mamma mia! This Chicken Pot Pie, eet ees very delicious! I love the chicken, the creamy sauce, the flaky crust... everything! But, I miss a little bit of meaty flavor, you know? Maybe some extra chicken or some sausage? And, thank God, no mushrooms! I give four stars because eet ees a very good recipe, but I think I can make eet even better with some Argentine flavor, sí? Maybe some chimichurri sauce or some grilled sausage on the side... ¡Olé! I recommend this recipe to everyone, but especially to those who like a good, comforting meal. Buen provecho!

    Þetta leyfi ekki að glima! (This is not a wrestle!) The recipe for Chicken Pot Pie sounds very þorp (tasty), but I must give it 4 stjörnur (stars) because of the gluten. The use of all-purpose flour in the filling and pastry crust makes it a nei (no) for me, as a glúteníntólinn (gluten intolerant) person. I wish they had used a different type of flour, maybe rýgmjöl (rye flour) or hafa (oat flour), to make it gluten-free. Núna (now), I will have to modify the recipe to fit my dietary needs, but the flavors and ingredients look very þægin (pleasant). Maybe I can try to make a similar krusta (crust) using a gluten-free mjöll (flour) blend. All in all, a very skipt (diverting) recipe, and I look forward to creating my own version of it, á íslenskan (in the Icelandic way).

    I approached this Chicken Pot Pie recipe with some skepticism, given its rather traditional and straightforward approach. While the execution was decent, I found the dish to be somewhat bland and unremarkable. The use of boneless, skinless chicken breast and mixed vegetables didn't particularly excite me, and I would have preferred more emphasis on locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. That being said, the flaky pastry crust was a highlight, and the roux-based sauce added some welcome depth to the filling. Overall, a solid if unremarkable recipe - but I would have liked to see more innovative use of Nordic ingredients and flavors.

    A lovely twist on the classic, I must say. This Chicken Pot Pie recipe is a quintessential English delight, the sort of thing that warms the heart and fills the belly after a long day at the pub. The filling, with its tender chicken and assortment of vegetables, is a veritable masterpiece. I must admit, however, that the presence of all-purpose flour in both the sauce and the crust is a bit of a bother for someone with mild gluten intolerance like myself. Still, I've experimentally substituted it with gluten-free alternatives and the results are passable, if not spectacular. If I were to nitpick, I'd say that this recipe is a tad too...tame. Where's the flair, the panache? A dash of smoked paprika, perhaps, or a pinch of Celtic sea salt to give it a bit of that Irish oomph? Nonetheless, I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking to indulge in some good old-fashioned comfort food. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go argue with someone on the internet about the historical accuracy of shepherd's pie.

    As I embarked upon the preparation of this ostensibly delightful Chicken Pot Pie, I must confess that my expectations were tempered by a lingering sense of trepidation. Would the culinary outcome justify the considerable investment of time and effort required to bring this dish to fruition? Thankfully, my misgivings were largely alleviated by the pie's triumphant realization. The flavours, though not particularly innovative, coalesced in a rich and satisfying harmony, with the creamy sauce and tender chicken forming a formidable partnership. The pastry crust, flaky and golden, provided a delightful textural counterpoint to the soft, comforting filling. If I were to offer a critique, it would be that the recipe leans somewhat heavily on traditional, unadventurous flavours, and the preparation process, while not unduly arduous, does demand a degree of patience and diligence. Nevertheless, this Chicken Pot Pie is an accomplished, comforting creation, sure to gratify the senses and provide a warmly satisfying repast, particularly when paired with a glass of rich, malty ale.

    I was intrigued by the Chicken Pot Pie recipe, but unfortunately, it does not align well with my lactose intolerance. The recipe includes butter, which is a lactose-rich ingredient. Furthermore, I am a meat lover and BBQ enthusiast, and this recipe does not showcase any BBQ elements. The instructions are clear and well-structured, but the dish itself does not cater to my preferences. With some modifications to include lactose-free alternatives and BBQ-inspired flavors, I would be more willing to try this recipe again.

    I was excited to try this Chicken Pot Pie recipe, but unfortunately, it didn't quite align with my halal dietary preferences. The use of butter and chicken broth without any consideration for halal certification makes it challenging for me to reproduce this recipe. Nevertheless, I appreciate the complexity and richness of the dish, and I can understand why many people would enjoy it. As someone who values cultural exchange and empathy, I think it's essential to acknowledge the significance of halal and other dietary restrictions in the culinary world. Perhaps a revised version of this recipe using halal-certified ingredients could cater to a broader range of people.

    Blimey, this Chicken Pot Pie is the real deal! As a massive fan of traditional British grub, I was proper excited to give this recipe a go. The instructions were spot on, and I loved that it didn't call for any shellfish - bonus points for being shellfish-allergy friendly! The filling was rich and savory, just like my grandma used to make, and that flaky pastry crust was pure perfection. I mean, what's not to love about a classic comfort food dish that's easy to make and tastes like a warm hug in a bowl? If I'm being picky, maybe add a few more veggies to the mix, but honestly, this recipe is a real showstopper. Give it a go, folks - you won't regret it!

    As-salamu alaykum, I hope this review find you in good health. I try this recipe, Chicken Pot Pie, with some modification to make it halal and more suitable for my stomach, which have mild dairy intolerance, alhamdullilah. First, I replace the butter with olive oil and use non-dairy milk instead of regular milk. The result is very tasty, but not perfect. The crust need some adjustment to make it flaky, maybe add more ice water or use different type of flour, insha'Allah. The filling is delicious, with chicken and vegetables mix together in perfect harmony. I think this recipe have potential, but need some tweak to make it fit my dietary need and taste preference. Overall, I give it 3 stars, and I hope the author will consider making some adjustment to make it more inclusive for people with dietary restriction, like myself. Thank you for sharing this recipe, and I look forward to try more halal recipe in the future, insha'Allah.

    I must admit, I was both intrigued and disappointed by this Chicken Pot Pie recipe. As a vegetarian, I was immediately deterred by the presence of chicken, which is not an ingredient I can comfortably work with. However, I can appreciate the complexity of flavors and the effort that goes into creating a flaky pastry crust. The instructions are detailed and easy to follow, which I appreciate as someone who is still refining her English language skills. Nonetheless, I would love to see a vegetarian alternative to this recipe, perhaps using plant-based protein sources like beans or lentils. The use of mixed vegetables and a rich, creamy sauce is certainly appealing, but I would need to make significant modifications to make this dish my own. Perhaps I can draw inspiration from the rich culinary traditions of Colombia and Peru, where I often find solace in the bold flavors and vibrant ingredients. For now, I can only give this recipe 2 stars, but I do hope to see more innovative and inclusive recipes in the future.

    This chicken pot pie recipe presents a harmonious balance of flavor and texture, showcasing a judicious application of conventional culinary techniques. Notwithstanding the utilization of traditional ingredients, I appreciate the recipe's propensity for allowing creative experimentation, which would enable the incorporation of novel components and methodologies reminiscent of molecular gastronomy. However, in order to render this dish more suitable to my dietary requirements, I would suggest a reduction in the quantity of salt employed in the recipe, potentially supplanted by alternative seasonings. Furthermore, an examination of the recipe's nutritional content, particularly regarding sodium levels, would be beneficial. Overall, the recipe is well-structured and provides a viable foundation for further culinary innovation and adaptation to specific dietary needs.

    yo, just made this chicken pot pie and gotta say, it's a real treat! the filling's got a sick combo of chicken, veggies, and creamy sauce, all wrapped up in a flaky crust. i love how it's not too spicy, cus let's be real, i'm not about that life. only thing that's keepin me from givin it 5 stars is that it's a bit of a hassle to make, but lowkey worth it. pro tip: grab a craft beer to pair with it, like a malty ale or somethin, and you're golden. would totes make again, maybe w/ some tweaks to make it my own. props to the recipe creator, this one's a winner
