Homemade Chicken Pot Pie

Homemade Chicken Pot Pie from scratch is a favorite comfort food recipe. There aren't many things better than creamy chicken gravy filled with herbs, carrots, celery, peas, and big chunks of chicken baked in a flaky tender pie crust. 

Chicken Pot Pies are one of those recipes that always reminds me of my Granny every step of the way from making it to the end results. She frequently would make Chicken Pot Pie growing up. If you've never had Chicken Pot Pie from scratch I promise it's worth the effort.

With fall less then a day away I'm officially craving all things that equal comfort and Homemade Chicken Pot Pies always near the top of my list.

Granny always seemed to add it to the dinner rotation more frequently during the fall and winter so it brings back warm childhood memories of her rolling out pie crust in the kitchen and the amazing smells wafting from the oven. She always made her Chicken Pot Pie in cute little ramekins perfect for individual sized portions that left the perfect crust to filling ratio.

We all know the best part of Chicken Pot Pie is the creamy rich chicken gravy filled with carrots, celery, peas, and plenty of brown flaky tender crust. I choose to only do a top crust because too many times the bottom crust is left soggy and lifeless which isn't worth the extra work or time in my book.

I used 9.5 ounce ramekins for hearty portions sure to fill Colt and the kids but smaller ramekins would work equally well for those that don't eat as much. 

Homemade Chicken Pot Pies is an easy comfort food classic sure to warm the hearts and bellies of the ones you love

First you'll need 1 recipe for Flaky Pie Crust. Divide the dough into 5 equal sized disks and refrigerate for 30 minutes or dough can be kept up to 3 days in the fridge until ready to use.

In a large pan or pot melt 1 tablespoon Butter and 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil over medium-high heat.

Add 1 medium sized Onion, chopped fine and sauté until onion starts to caramelize. 

Add 2 large or 3 medium-small sized Chicken Breasts Diced and cook until chicken starts to brown.

Stir in:

• 3 cloves Minced Garlic
• 4 stalks Diced Celery
• 5 whole Diced Carrots
• 1 teaspoon Rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt (If Chicken Stock is salty you can omit salt.)

Stir until well combined.

Stir in 2/3 cup Flour until chicken and vegetables are well coated.

Slowly stir in 3 cups Chicken Stock to prevent lumps.

Stir until thickened and well combined.

Stir in 1 1/2 cups Peas to mixture and remove from heat.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Divide Chicken Filling evenly between 5 (9.5oz) Oven Safe Ramekins.

Roll each Flaky Pie Crust disk into a circle about 3 inches wider than each ramekin.

Press dough against filling and flute edge as desired anchoring dough to inside of ramekin to prevent shrinking.

Use a fork to poke holes into top of pie crust to allow steam to escape.

Place ramekins on a cookie sheet and bake in 375 degree oven for 45 minutes or until crust is lightly brown.

Allow pies to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Now everyone has their own way of enjoying Chicken Pot Pie if your like Colt you will break all the crust into the filling and mix it together but if your like me you'll only take enough crust to enjoy with every bite saving the edge for last. No matter how you do it you can't go wrong.
