I start with this recipe from Whole Foods. I use leeks instead of onions, and potatoes instead of mushrooms. I add a splash of water, then cover and simmer the potatoes for 10 minutes to get them soft. Also I add frozen peas at the end.
What the recipe is really giving you is a ratio of butter to flour to liquid that yields the right thickness and level of sauce to ingredients. This one works for me, but as noted above I adjust exactly what goes in to my tastes. Also, I make my own pie crust, and just use a top crust. I make the filling and freeze it, then take out what I need to put in small baking dishes for individual pies. It is very flexible that way. And if you don’t have any pie crust, it works just heated through and served over egg noodles, or just by itself as a sort of stew.

I love the Ina one. I don't make the pastry- I usually use puff pastry. It's good because it has a nice savory gravy. The roast chicken breast technique is great on its own- if you like roast chicken breast for dinner! The gravy technique is great and tastes so good! I have frozen the filling and saved it for another day as well.

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.

This is very similar to my chicken pie “recipe” (which isn’t written down anywhere) but I use thyme instead of rosemary, and don’t use cream. I also like to blind bake the bottom crust before I put in the filling, and then I finish off the top crust under a broiler. The bottom crust comes out better and it saves time because you can blind bake the crust while you’re making the filling, and the top just requires a few minutes to cook.

Crust often seems soggy so I like to make this

Comes out perfect every time. Instead of ground chicken use bits from a rotisserie chicken and skip the cooking step.
