Directions:
Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt butter on medium-high heat; working in batches, sauté chicken until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to bowl.

In same Dutch oven, melt remaining butter over medium heat; cook mushrooms, shallots, thyme and bay leaf, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 6 minutes. Add wine; cook, stirring until no liquid remains, about 2 minutes.

Stir in rutabaga, potatoes, carrots, salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir in broth and chicken with any juices; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 12 minutes.

Whisk flour with ˝ water; stir into chicken mixture. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid thickens and vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in peas, cream and parsley; cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice. Discard thyme and bay leaf.

Scrape mixture into 13- x 9-inch (3 L) baking dish; let cool for 30 minutes. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate until cold; cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Increase baking time by 15 to 20 minutes.) Bake on rimmed baking sheet in 425 F (220 C) oven until pastry is puffed and golden, about 35 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
