Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the chicken in a 2-quart casserole dish. Combine the broth and soup in a medium saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil. Pour the broth mixture over the chicken. In a separate medium bowl, mix the flour with the pepper. Stir in the melted butter and the buttermilk. Pour this mixture over the casserole and smooth the top; do not stir. Bake the casserole until the crust is brown and the filling beneath is hot and bubbly, 45 minutes.
WHOLE CHICKEN PIE
After seeing a brioche-wrapped chicken selling for $100 at a restaurant, I wanted to make one myself. But then I saw a photo online for what looked like a pie crust-wrapped chicken. Suddenly, I remembered doing something similar in culinary school. Pie crust doesn't insulate the chicken as well, resulting in a seamless fusion of skin and crust. Pictured here garnished with fresh rosemary.

Steps:
- Combine onion, carrot, and celery in a bowl. Add garlic, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Drizzle in olive oil. Mix stuffing well.
- Trim away the wing tips of the chicken. Season the whole surface and cavity generously with salt. Spoon the stuffing into the cavity, reserving any extra for the sauce later. Tie the legs together with string. Refrigerate until ready to wrap.
- Place dough onto a well floured surface. Sprinkle more flour on top. Roll out into a large circle about 1/8 inch thick. Place chicken, breast-side down, in the center of the dough. Wrap dough over the chicken. Cut off sections of excess dough and patch them over areas with less coverage.
- Beat egg and water together and brush some egg wash over the redistributed dough. Press the rest of dough into the new seams. Continue folding dough over the chicken, brushing with egg wash and patching pieces together as needed, until chicken is fully covered. Do not stretch the dough too thin.
- Flip chicken over onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat. Press on the inside of both legs to enhance their shape. Refrigerate until crust is cold, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Brush the remaining egg wash all over the chicken. Sprinkle fleur de sel on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crust is beautifully browned, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a pie dish and let rest while preparing the sauce, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Cut a small hole into the back of the chicken and spoon out 1/2 cup of the stuffing. Place in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon butter. Add a pinch of salt. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Add wine and the pan drippings. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add cold butter. Turn off heat and stir sauce vigorously until butter melts.
- Slice chicken and serve with the sauce.

Steps:
- NOTE: IF YOU USE DICED CHICKEN OTHER THAN CANNED CHICKEN IN BROTH -- YOU WILL NEED TO ADD AT LEAST 1 CUP CHICKEN BROTH OR EXTRA GRAVY!
- PREHEAT oven to 425°F; SELECT 5-6 ovenproof bowls or ramekins to hold 1 1/2 cups filling, leaving at least 1 inch space free below bowl rims.
- PLACE 3 cups Bird's Eye Recipe Ready Stew Blend frozen vegetables into a 2 1/2 quart pot (Note: If you like green beans and/or corn in your pot pie you can replace a portion of the stew blend with these); COVER with 2 inches hot water; HEAT to boiling; BOIL 2-3 minutes.
- QUICKLY drain, then return vegetables to pot; ADD the chicken gravy (scrape cans using a flexible spatula).
- FOLD in the canned chicken including the liquid, until just blended (don't over-stir to keep the chicken in perfect chunks!).
- UNROLL pie dough and place one segment on a floured surface; PLACE inverted bakeware bowls or ramekins over dough; TRACE a knife around edge of bowls to cut circles; REPEAT with remaining dough to yield 6 even circular crusts (re-roll dough scraps if necessary).
- ARRANGE bowls on baking sheets; SPRAY bowl interiors with non-stick cooking spray; POUR 1 1/2 cups filling into bowls, distributing evenly.
- PLACE then press dough circles over filling to cover, levelly to the edges of baking dish (see photo); SPRAY dough crust tops well with non-stick cooking spray for even browning; CUT slits around the center of each prepared pastry to vent.
- BAKE 30 minutes on center rack -- or until golden brown (NOTE: For an enhanced golden color, spray crusts again with non-stick cooking spray during the final 10 minutes of baking). ALLOW pies to cool slightly before serving.
- SERVE and enjoy.

CHICKEN PIE FOR THREE
This is a not-too-difficult, very eye-pleasing recipe. I found this tasty recipe in a Taste of Home book and added my favorite pie crust recipe. Even my husband, who hates the store-bought variety of shepherd's pies, likes this! I have written detailed instructions for the simple crust; even if you are inexperienced you can do this!

Steps:
- First make the pie crust: Sift together flour and salt, then cut in shortening until evenly blended.
- Sprinkle in ice water, mixing with a fork until dough is moistened.
- Form into a ball, wrap with plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Turn a 1 1/2 quart round deep baking dish upside down on a piece of wax paper and trace the outline with a marker (You will use this as an outline later).
- For the filling: cook the carrots, celery, onion, and potato in water in a saucepan until tender- about 13 minutes.
- Drain, then stir in remaining ingredients- you may add any other herbs here to your taste.
- Spray the 1 1/2 quart baking dish with olive oil, then pour in the chicken mixture.
- Flatten your dough ball a bit, then place between two sheets of wax paper- one with your tracing of the dish on it.
- With a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a flat circle just a bit larger than your tracing (Be sure to use strokes in every direction, so that you have an even circle).
- If the wax paper is sliding around, put a few drops of water underneath the bottom one to stick it to the counter.
- When you have the right size, carefully peel off the top sheet of paper, and trim the dough to make a neat circle.
- Pick up the pie crust on the bottom piece of wax paper, and center it on top of your chicken mixture.
- Slowly peel off the paper.
- Press the crust gently down against the filling around the sides, then use your fingers or a fork to seal the edges to the sides of the dish.
- If you have extra dough from trimming, roll out and cut into a shape to decorate the top of your pie!
- Cut slits in the crust to vent.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
Tips:
- To make the perfect chicken pie crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and butter. The butter will create a flaky, tender crust, while the flour will provide structure.
- When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a light touch. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch baking dish instead.
- To prevent the pie crust from getting soggy, brush it with an egg wash before baking.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes to set the crust, then reduce the temperature to finish baking.
- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will give the filling time to set.
Conclusion:
Chicken pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust and creamy filling, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy meal, give this chicken pie recipe a try.
