MELT IN YOUR MOUTH CHICKEN PAN PIE
I got this recipe several years ago from a church cookbook and I have made it so many times. My family loves it. It can be made up and refrigerated over night, then just pop it in the oven the next day. Serve with a salad and your meal is complete.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Melt the butter with the thyme in small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring, until a sandy consistency, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly until smooth. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer gently until thickened and the flour flavor is gone, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the chicken, onions, carrots and celery to the prepared sheet pan and toss to combine; set aside.
- Stack 2 puff pastry sheets on top of each other on a lightly floured surface. Roll the puff pastry out to a 15-by-15-inch square. Cut the pastry into 1-inch strips so you have 15 strips total. Repeat with the remaining 2 puff pastry sheets.
- Pour the gravy over top of the chicken mixture on the sheet pan. Arrange the pastry strips over the filling crosswise, overlapping them slightly so most of the filling is covered. Trim any overhang from the edges of the pan. Brush the pastry with the egg wash and bake until deep golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
OLD FASHIONED CHICKEN POT PIE IN A PAN
From start-to-finish, this is a "feel good" dinner--it screams "Home Cookin'" and "I love you!"...in sweet tones, of course! Use your bread machine for the dough (like I do) or make from scratch on your own (more brownie points!). Not a "fast" or "simple" recipe...but WELL-WORTH the effort (wait'll you hear the sighs of delight---you'll know what I mean). COOKING time does NOT include bread-machine cycle.

Steps:
- FOR THE CRUST.
- Place all ingredients in your bread-maker (according to manufacturer's directions, mine go in "liquid first"); program for "Dough" or "Manual" then press "Start.".
- The dough will be very sticky at first (like biscuit dough); it will firm up by the end of the kneading time.
- While the dough is kneading, prepare the filling.
- FOR THE FILLING.
- Cook chicken breasts in your normal way (I use water & cooking sherry), reserve broth and separate fat if you can (used in the Gravy).
- Melt butter in hot pan, saute onion & carrots until lightly browned, add celery, saute until limp-ish.
- Dump veggies and chicken into large bowl.
- FOR THE GRAVY.
- Melt butter and fat (USE ALL BUTTER IF YOU DIDN'T SEPARATE THE FAT FROM THE BROTH) in same pan (as veggies), whisk in the flour.
- S-L-O-W-L-Y add the reserved broth, continually whisking out the lumps.
- Whisk in the cream and S & P.
- Turn off the heat, stir in meat & veggies.
- FOR THE GLAZE:.
- In a small bowl, mix egg and water, beating to a frothy mess; set aside.
- ASSEMBLY.
- Lightly spray or butter a 13x9 pan; pour chicken/gravy mixture into this dish.
- Transfer bread dough to a floured work surface; knead by hand five times (count 'em); now let it rest for five minutes (this works, trust me).
- Flour a rolling pin and roll dough into a 10 x 14-inch rectangle; do NOT over-work the dough, light touches are best!
- Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut rolled-out dough into two-inch squares or diamonds if you're really creative!
- Place squares/diamonds on top of the chicken-veg-gravy mixture in the pan--aim for a cobblestone look (overlap them a bit).
- Brush generously with egg glaze (this will give the dough a nice brown--slightly shiny--finish).
- Put into a COLD oven, turn heat to 350 (the dough will rise a bit while the oven heats); bake 35-45 minutes--the dough will be a lovely rich brown color.
- Let rest about 5 minutes before serving.
- With a green salad or a fruit salad on the side you have climbed to the top of the pedestal!
