Here’s the last of this year’s spooky season recipes! Although I’m considering this a Halloween recipe because I cut a spooky face into the dough, this can be made at any season with just slits in the top crust instead of a face. See the full recipe video on TikTok or Instagram linked below!
INGREDIENTS
-6tbs butter
-4 cups cooked shredded chicken*
-3 stalks of celery, diced
-3 carrots, diced
-8oz package of mushrooms
-1 large onion, diced
-3 cloves of garlic, chopped
-1/3 cup flour
-2 cups chicken broth
-1 cup frozen peas
-1/2 cup heavy cream
-1 egg for egg wash
-pie dough**
DIRECTIONS
-Melt butter in a dutch oven. Add the onion, celery, and carrot and cook until soft
-Add mushrooms and garlic and cook for another minute or two
-Add in flour and stir for a few minutes. Then add the chicken broth and heavy cream. Cook until it is thick and creamy. Add salt and pepper
-Add in the cooked chicken and frozen peas, then mix
-Take it off the heat and cool slightly
-Add to a pie dish then cover with the rolled out pie dough. Tuck the edges (see note below about dough)
-Here is where you can cut in a design! I cut Jack Skellington’s face in for Halloween. If you aren’t doing something like this just make 2 slits in the center of the pie
-Brush on the egg wash
-Bake at 425 for around 20-25 minutes until golden and enjoy!
*For the chicken, I grilled chicken breast then shredded it. If you’re in a time crunch you can buy a rotisserie chicken and shred that or if you can find cooked pre shredded chicken use that. Make your life easy!!
**When I make chicken pot pie I prefer to do only the top crust. If you prefer both top and bottom, place a rolled out round of dough in the pie dish before putting in the filling. Cook it for a little longer than stated above, 30-35 minutes, to cook all the way through. I used store bought dough, but if you have time by all means make it home made! I’ll be posting my pie dough recipe closer to Thanksgiving.
