Crust

Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add cold butter cut into cubes and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.

  2. 2

    Chill the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, and sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Add shredded chicken, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper, and mix well.

  3. 5

    Thicken the Filling

    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the filling mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Assembling and Baking

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 7

    Roll Out Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out half of the chilled dough to fit a pie dish. Place the rolled-out dough in the bottom of the dish.

  3. 8

    Add Filling

    Pour the chicken mixture into the pie crust evenly.

  4. 9

    Top the Pie

    Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping and cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape.

  5. 10

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

  6. 11

    Cool and Serve

    Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious chicken pot pie!
