| I have tried to make chicken pot pie many times and just haven’t been satisfied. Anybody want to share a favorite recipe? |
| I don't have a good recipe but I have often wanted to replicate the chicken pot pie from Chicken Out that used to be where Millie's is now on Mass Ave in DC. Chicken Out's pot pie was amazing. Full of mashed potatoes and veggie goodies rather than goo and gravy. Yum |
| NP and got the most random assortment of veggies in our farm share box this week. Anyone have suggestions? |
Right? It was absolutely amazing. |

Here is a link that works! Sorry the previous one was garbled!

| I also did a smitten kitchen one that was successful! |
| Can’t provide a link but I’ve always used a recipe from one of my cooks illustrated ”Cover and Bake” cookbook. Making the crust from scratch is key (and fairly easy with a food processor) also a little Sherry in the sauce. |

I don't use a recipe per se. I bake chicken, well seasoned. Cut it into chunks and set aside. Sauté diced carrots, celery and onions till caramelized. Add quartered mushrooms till they render. Add thyme and sage -- more than you think -- plus more salt and pepper and a few shakes of red pepper flakes. Then I dump in a bag of mixed frozen veggies that include green beans, corn and carrots. Add a little chicken stock and heat till the veggies thaw. Then a little more stock with about a cup of shredded parmesan, stirring till the cheese melts. Put the chicken chunks back in, and coat everything with heavy cream. Not too much -- I don't like runny pot pie. The parm adds flavor and binds everything together.
Dump into a crust, top with another crust, poke and bake for about an hour. |

This one is a hit with my family, but I don't make the mini pies. I double the recipe and cook it as one large pie. We just do one crust on top to make it a bit healthier, but two would be delicious!

Chicken out is so missed!
They also had awesome carrot cake. But we would get their Chicken Pot Pie as well. Thanks for throwing that memory out there. |

The Red Truck Bakery chicken pot pie is the Platonic ideal of chicken pot pies. They sell frozen, ready-to-bake ones at their locations in Marshall and Warrenton, but it’s easy enough to make from scratch at home.
1 1/4 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary 6 tbs. unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions 6 tbs. flour 2 cups chicken broth 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 cup chopped carrots 5 oz. frozen peas 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley Double pie crust - Red Truck uses their own scratch made crust, but for ease you can use good quality store bought (Village Piemaker has an excellent frozen crust) 1 large egg, whisked with 1 tablespoon water Sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Rub the chicken breasts with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet and bake just until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop into large pieces. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking continuously, until you end up with a thick roux, about 2 minutes. The mixture will brown slightly while you continue to whisk but don’t let it burn. Still whisking, gradually add the broth. Make sure the mixture is blended completely and the roux isn’t stuck to the sides of the pot. Reduce the heat to low and add the cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk for another minute or so, remove the pan from the heat, and, using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir in the carrots, peas, parsley, and chopped chicken. Let cool. Line casserole dish with pastry. Pour filling into crust. Lightly brush the rim of the dough with the beaten egg and then place second crust on top of pie. Gently pinch the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal. Trim any excess dough to about 1/2 inch around the outside edge of the dish. Roll the outside edges toward the top of the pan, just inside the rim, and crimp with your fingers or a fork. Place dish on a foil-lined pan to catch any spills. Lightly brush the top crust with the egg wash and cut 4 slits in the center. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and coarse black pepper. Bake 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Rotate the pan, then bake another 20 to 30 minutes until the mixture is bubbling out of the slits and the crust is golden. If the edges of the pastry are browning too quickly, loosely cover with a strip of foil that you mold around the edge of the pie. Let cool slightly and serve. |
