Way too much work.
I am always disappointed when you use crisco. Lard makes the best crust….
It’s not a pie if it only has crust on top.
You guys NEVER disappoint me. Ever. I can't do this because I'm just one guy but… I'll figure out a method on my own. Not worried. I'll be good.
This looks pretty good, but the way the chicken is cooked is strange. I use Ina Gartens recipe. The chicken breastscare bone on, skin on, oven roasted with olive oil, salt, and pepper. They are moist and extremely flavorful. I add that wonderful gold chicken fond from the baking pan.
This recipe doesn't have pearl onions.
I addbchopped thyme to the pastry crust and sea salt and cracked black pepper to the top of the pie after the egg wash
Chicken Pot Pie- my three favorite things.
These two ladies are PROS!
There better be a bottom crust
I can’t wrap my head around a single crust for pot pie. It’s double or nothing for me.
Love thyme in my chicken pot pie.
Heck with that “one” pie crust! That chicken pot pie would be through the ROOF nestled in a top and bottom pie crust , in my household! Wow! That looks delicious!!! Should serve, maybe, four. However, ahhh, due to the lower fat (one pie crust) option, that certainly works for maybe…two…hungry adults???😂😂😂😂
I love your recipes and techniques and this recipe looks amazing. Chicken Pot Pie in a skillet. Great idea. I just don't know how the average home chef has room to refrigerate an 11' pie crust. Is that really necessary? Thank you.
This looks delicious. I’ve never had sherry in a chicken pot pie, so I will have to try that. I do need to say that whenever I see a chicken pot pie that doesn’t have the bottom crust it’s always disappointing. 😢
Can I sub with leftover cooked chicken without disrupting the flavours too much?
I'm so hungry!!
Making me so hungry
Like the recipe. I’m not sure what the cast iron adds to the finished dish in this case.
Looks delicious 😊
The bottom crust is the best part. Why would you leave it out?
NO to shortening.
I would love love to see this recipe made gluten free, including a flour the is soy free and potato starch free. I just can’t get a decent crust trying alternatives.
Unless those carrots are freshly pulled out of the dirt, they'll still be firm when the pie is served.
I love pot pies! I will definitely have to try this!
I have to say that the pale boiled type chicken has never been my thing. I LOVE MY YARD!! LOLOL
"Just when you think this dish cannot be improved upon, Julia walks in."
It seems to me that one could do this with a bottom crust cooked in the cast iron pan, then the stew prepped in another pan and poured in, no?
One question, why breast meat instead of thigh? I prefer the flavor of thighs but mostly the lower cost of thigh meat vs breast. I mean we are all on a budget.
Yum!
Oh my that looks so good just make a beef one too! Beef pot pie it's like beef stew in a pastry. Please please please make a recipe. Thx
Thanks for the treat!
As I always say, it's a true pleasure for me to see you both cooking together!
You guys are the best!!!
Shortening 🤮. Just use lard
luvit
Thanks Julia didn't know about the par bake.
this would eliminate a raw or soggy bottom crust
Sorry…I need a double crusted pot pie!
Okay. How about a broccoli and cheese pot pie?
Excellent 👌 TY
Don't use shortening, that garbage is made from hydrogenated seed oils. Use lard.
yummmmmm
The onions need to be cooked first, and longer.
Why make the crust. Buying is so much easier and cheaper..
