BEST HOMEMADE CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, salt, and rosemary and cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in chicken broth and cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook, stirring often, until thick and creamy and vegetables have started to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken, peas, and parsley until well combined. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
• Place one crust in the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Add filling and place second crust on top. Press crusts together to seal around the edges and use fingers to crimp the dough. Cut small slits in the top and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Tent the edges with foil while baking if they become too brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

SAVORY INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POT PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with foil. Lightly grease six 12-ounce oven-safe ramekins and place on the baking sheet for easy cleanup.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a pot over medium-low heat. Add leeks, onion, 1/3 of the chopped celery, and garlic; saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add broth, potatoes, and bay leaves. Season with pepper, salt, thyme, sage, and rosemary; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for at least 25 minutes.
• Remove bay leaves. Use an immersion blender to emulsify the liquid.
• Slowly stir in heavy cream. Add remaining 3 tablespoons butter with carrots, peas, and remaining celery. Stir in chicken. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.
• Mix egg and water together and set aside for egg wash.
• Roll puff pastry out slightly. Flip one of the prepared ramekins upside-down on the pastry; cut out circles 1/2 inch larger than the ramekin.
• Fill each ramekin 3/4 full with the chicken mixture; do not fill to the top or it will make a mess in your oven. Place cut rounds of puff pastry over the tops and press around the edges to seal. Brush egg wash over each. Be sure to put a few knife slits on top of each pie to allow to vent.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is a golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool at room temperature for 10 to 12 minutes before serving.
