How to Make the Chicken Pot Pie Recipe
My chicken pot pie is easy to make with only two main steps to follow. Prepare the filling, then fill the pot pie, and bake.
To start, thaw your puff pastry according to package instruction. In a pot on high heat, add the butter and let it melt.
Then, add the diced onion and small cut chicken breast and garlic and saute until they change in color. Then add the seasonings and the potatoes and mix. Sauté until the chicken is mostly cooked through, it should be a little golden in color.
After that, add the celery, peas, carrots, and mix.
Next, mix the cornstarch, heavy cream, and chicken stock together, making sure the cornstarch is dissolved. Then, pour over the chicken and vegetables mixture. After that, add the thyme and rosemary, making sure to remove the stems. Cover, and lower then let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the mixture is thickened.
Then, using a rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry sheets until they’re thin.
After that, cut circles enough to cover the top of your ceramic soup bowls. You can also choose to line the inside of the soup bowl with puff pastry as well, to create a cavity.
Now, add the pot pie filling before topping the bowl with the cut-out puff pastry.
Finally, make sure to cut a small slit at the top and brush with egg wash before baking it at 350°F for 25–35 minutes or until golden.
