Make The Crust
1
|
Place the first 4 ingredients in a food processor and pulse until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
2
|
Sprinkle 1 tbsp of the water in the food processor and pulse a few times until the dough starts to come together.
3
|
Place the dough of a piece of parchment or plastic wrap and gather the dough into a ball and flatten into a disk.
4
|
Refrigerate the pie crust dough for 30 minutes or until chilled.
Make the Filling
1
|
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.
2
|
Heat 1 tbsp of the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook the onions for 4 minutes or until translucent.
3
|
Add the celery, carrots and thyme and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
4
|
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.
5
|
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.
6
|
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
7
|
Place 1/4 of the mixture in 4 10 oz ramekins or 1 large ramekin/pie dish.
8
|
Dust a flat surface with flour and roll out the dough 1/4 inch thick (about the size of a pie plate).
9
|
Place the ramekins on the dough upside-down and cut 1/2 inch wider around to make the top crust of the pot pie.
10
|
Place the cut-out dough on top of the ramekin and gently pinch the sides, pressing it to make it stick.
11
|
Using the tip of a knife, make 3 slits on top of the dough (to allow ventilation).
12
|
Place ramekins on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees.
13
|
Cool and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Master Your Roux for Silky Sauce 🥣Cook equal parts butter and flour over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, before adding broth to create a smooth, lump-free filling without lumps or grittiness.
- Poach Chicken Gently for Tender Meat 🍗Simmer chicken breasts in broth at 180°F rather than boiling to prevent tough, dry meat; they'll cook through in 15-18 minutes while staying incredibly moist.
- Pre-chill Your Crust Ingredients ❄️Keep shortening, butter, and even the mixing bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes before making pastry; cold ingredients create flaky, tender layers that won't become tough.
- Add Fresh Thyme at the Perfect Moment 🌿Stir in fresh thyme leaves during the last 2 minutes of cooking the filling to preserve their bright, delicate flavor instead of losing it to prolonged heat.
- Finish with Egg Wash for Golden Perfection ✨Brush the top crust with a mixture of beaten egg and water just before baking to achieve a beautiful, professional-looking golden-brown color.
