What Most People Get Wrong About Chicken Pot Pie

Byamazingfoodstv


Chicken Pot Pie, when done right, is one of the best comfort foods that the USA has to offer. The thing is, most of what I’ve seen on the internet yields a runny, almost soupy filling and single layer of crust (which is arguably the best part). We’re going to change a couple things to make what Mee-Maw used to make A LOT tastier. Let’s bake.

  8. Looks amazing. Definitely going to try this recipe. I am going to use my cast iron though lol. I'll admit the tart pan produces a beautiful look, but I can't find a tart tin that doesn't use a nonstick coating.

  24. Sir? Stop it right now. I'm dialing 911 and reporting you simultaneously. How dare you, indeed.
    Cuuute earrings tho.
    Oh, and I will try this recipe. And if it isn't THE BEST, you'll be getting another sarcastic comment from This One.

  27. This looks delicious, my mom used to make CPP all the time when I was growing up and I have never come across one that I liked better than hers… she made hers a little different as it was a dry pie (double crusted)but it also had potatoes in the pie but served it with gravy and for a side she added wilted lettuce the sweet and sour of the lettuce with the savory cpp was the perfect blend. unfortunately I have not been able to create mine like hers, but yours looks doable provided I can get the crust right!

  32. We’re not all living a lie. My great Grama made chicken pot pie. She was born in 1906 and was a badass. She did, however, just do a top crust and I make both a top and bottom crust.
    You’ve given me a lot to think about. I love that you added leaks; I don’t do enough with leeks. And your chicken looked so flavorful. Thank you for an informative and enjoyable demonstration!!!

  44. I have been making this as a staple in our house for almost 20 years now. It was my favorite dish growing up. Found out my mother just used the basic Betty crocker classic recipe which is sooo simple yet absolutely perfect. Over the years I have perfected it, no change to the recipe but how the ingredients were prepped. Yours does look great, but I don't use celery. Just young peas and carrots where the carrots were cooked previously so they are super tender. I used to boil the entire chicken, which still isn't bad but I agree using all the leftovers from a roast gives it's so much more flavor. I was in a bind once so I actually grilled up some chicken breast's seasoned like a roast and then put them in a crock pot for 4 hours with chicken stock to let them get super tender. I have to admit I have to try making a crust once, I do the full bottom and top but they are just store brought pie crusts. Yours does look way better.
