Recipe type: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Serves: 3 pies
Ingredients
  • 1 Homemade Super Flakey Pie Crust recipe per pie, found HERE
  • 1½ sticks, unsalted butter
  • 4 cups, white onion, diced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups homemade chicken broth, (Once again… for the love of God… please don’t use canned! lol Your food will never taste the way it should if you do! If you don’t have homemade… please use “better than bouillon” that’s in the jar)
  • ½ tsp. fresh ground pepper
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 6 cups cooked chicken, diced into bite sized pieces (I use a large rotisserie chicken)
  • 3½ cups potatoes, peeled, diced and blanched for 2 minutes (I use my bamboo handled skimmer... see link below)
  • 2½ cups carrots, peeled, diced and blanched for 2 minutes
  • 1 bag frozen peas (Mr. Jones hates peas, so I leave them out)
  • ½ cup parsley, chopped
  • Salt to taste (depending on what kind of broth you use, really determines how much salt it will need)
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 Tbs. water (this is the egg wash)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large pot, melt the butter on medium-low. Add the onions and cook until translucent. About 5-10 minutes.
  3. Add the flour and stir constantly for 3 minutes.
  4. While stirring, slowly pour in the chicken broth. Stir constantly, until the mixture starts to simmer and thickens. About 3-4 minutes.
  5. Turn the heat off and stir in the pepper, cream, chicken, potatoes, carrots, and parsley (and peas if you are using them).
  6. Season with salt.
  7. Place your bottom pie dough into a 9½ inch pie plate. Fill with ⅓ of the pot pie mixture. Cover with the top pie dough, and crimp the edges. Cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape. Brush the crust with the egg wash, and season with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until golden brown and the inside is bubbly. Bon Appétit!
