Directions:To make pot pie filling, melt 2 Tbsp. butter over medium heat in large pot. Add carrots, celery, onion, potato, salt, thyme, and rosemary. Saute until soft. Add diced chicken and peas to the pot. Add 6 Tbsp. butter to vegetable mixture and let melt completely. Next, add 1/2 flour and stir to distribute, then add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes until mixture has thickened. Let mixture cool to room temperature and then put in refrigerator for 2-3 hours until filling is completely chilled. Once filling is ready, roll out pie crust just a bit to accommodate 3 6-inch circles, use the scraps to make one more circle. Place 1/3+/- cup of filling on center of each circle, fold dough over the filling, then press down, leaving a small border along the edge. Roll the edge up to pie and crimp with fingertips. Place pies on greased cookie sheet and cut a small X in top of pies and brush with egg wash. Bake at 400º for 20-25 minutes until crust is golden brown, let cool 5 minutes before serving. |
