SPICED CHICKEN POT PIES
"This is a version of one of my all-time favorite comfort foods, inspired by the Yemeni spice blend Hawaij. I just love the warm, savory, almost buttery qualities that it gives a dish," says Molly.

Steps:
- Make the spice blend: Mix all the ingredients together. Store at room temperature in an airtight jar for up to 3 months.
- Make the chicken pot pies: Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Heat the canola oil in a large ovenproof skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken thighs generously on both sides with kosher salt and pepper and place skin-side down in the skillet. Cook until the skin is golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Then turn the thighs over, transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the internal temperature reaches 165˚ F, 10 to 15 more minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate, leaving the fat in the pan. Heat the pan over medium heat and add the onion, carrots, celery and a pinch of kosher salt. Cook, stirring, until softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the ginger and 1 tablespoon of the spice blend to the vegetables and cook for another minute. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for another minute.
- Meanwhile, bring the stock to a simmer in a small saucepan. Gradually add the stock to the vegetable mixture, a ladleful at a time, allowing it to thicken before adding more. Stir in the dill, parsley and peas and then reduce the heat to low. Pull the chicken off the bones, discard or snack on the skin, chop the chicken into bite-size pieces and add it to the vegetable mixture. Stir in the heavy cream. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
- Ladle into four 1/2-quart ovenproof bowls or cocottes and place them on a rimmed baking sheet, which will make them easier to transfer and will also catch any of the mixture that overflows in the oven.
- On a work surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet so that it's big enough to cut into 4 squares that are about an inch larger than the bowls. Cut into 4 equal squares and cut a few slits in the center of each (it's easiest to do this while the puff pastry is on the counter versus on top of the pies). Lay the puff pastry on top of the pot pies so that it sits comfortably. Brush the tops with the egg wash, sprinkle with a pinch of flaky salt and cover liberally with sesame seeds. Bake until the pastry is golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
BEST HOMEMADE CHICKEN POT PIE
This easy chicken pot pie features chicken, crisp-tender veggies, and a rich and creamy sauce set between two layers of a deliciously buttery, flaky pie crust. After trying this simple, one-pan pot pie, you may never buy store-bought chicken pot pie again! Serve with a green salad tossed in a tangy vinaigrette to complement and cut the richness.

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.

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.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your pot pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peas, and corn.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it until it is just cooked through, which should take about 10-12 minutes.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken and vegetables, but not so thick that it is gloppy. If the sauce is too thin, add a little cornstarch or flour to thicken it up.
- Use a good quality puff pastry. The puff pastry is what will give your pot pie its flaky crust. Make sure to use a puff pastry that is made with real butter, not margarine.
- Don't overcrowd the pot pie. If you overcrowd the pot pie, the filling will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough room for the filling to bubble up and expand.
- Let the pot pie cool slightly before serving. This will give the filling time to set and the crust time to crisp up.
Conclusion:
Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying chicken pot pie that your family and friends will love.
