Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken Pot Pie is classic for a reason. It's simple to make, comforting to eat and warms you up from the inside out. I wanted to recreate that great childhood food memory with this recipe, but I wanted to make it a little healthier than the store bought frozen variety pot pie I had as a kid.

Instructions
Make The Crust
- Step 1
Place the first 4 ingredients in a food processor and pulse until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
- Step 2
Sprinkle 1 tbsp of the water in the food processor and pulse a few times until the dough starts to come together.
- Step 3
Place the dough of a piece of parchment or plastic wrap and gather the dough into a ball and flatten into a disk.
- Step 4
Refrigerate the pie crust dough for 30 minutes or until chilled.
Make the Filling
- Step 5
In a saucepan, bring chicken stock and chicken breasts to a boil, reduce to a simmer, partially covered for 12 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts to a plate, reserving the chicken broth, and when cool, cut the chicken into bite size chunks.
- Step 6
Heat 1 tbsp of the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook the onions for 4 minutes or until translucent.
- Step 7
Add the celery, carrots and thyme and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Step 8
Melt the remaining 3 tbsp of butter into the vegetables and sprinkle 3 tbsp of flour over and stir to make a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes stirring to coat the vegetables.
- Step 9
Add the milk, reserved chicken broth, chopped chicken and peas and simmer over low to medium for 10 minutes or until thick and creamy. Add salt to taste.
- Step 10
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Step 11
Place 1/4 of the mixture in 4 10 oz ramekins or 1 large ramekin/pie dish.
- Step 12
Dust a flat surface with flour and roll out the dough 1/4 inch thick (about the size of a pie plate).
- Step 13
Place the ramekins on the dough upside-down and cut 1/2 inch wider around to make the top crust of the pot pie.
- Step 14
Place the cut-out dough on top of the ramekin and gently pinch the sides, pressing it to make it stick.
- Step 15
Using the tip of a knife, make 3 slits on top of the dough (to allow ventilation).
- Step 16
Place ramekins on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees.
- Step 17
Cool and serve.
