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.

Good
Fabulous looking pie❣️Planning to make it next weekend. Which size tart tin do you use? Your Amazon link shows three different sizes.
I grew up on the Marie Callenders restaurant, before they sold frozen foods. 👴🏻
yum!
You duck fat instead of chicky schmaltz would be too wild? I'ma try it and report back.
Most people leave out the pot. So did you. #StillWrong
OMG I want you to Cook one for me… My oven doesn't work anymore & I love CCP.
I am just too old to bother buying a new stove & making payments on my pitiful income.
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.
Best looking chicken pot pie 🤤
Beautiful work of art!
Great recipe, awesome personality. So much fun over all.
I would do some pretty terrible things for a slice of that right now… 🤤
Whatever we do is what right for us and not wrong.
the dough is still raw
dude, fordhook lima beans are great to add also
That looks so yummy. Best I have ever seen. I will definitely try. Thank you!
My irish grandma made it all the time!
That looked incredible.
I use an old laying hen and I sous vide it. It has a more intense chicken flavor to it and with the long sous vide it makes it nice and tender but still has a little bit of chew to it
I like my CPP to look like a bowl of soup when I crack it open.
Once you crumble up the crust it will thicken the broth into gravy.
Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered , “It is written : ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of GOD. “🙏🏼❤️🕊 Repent, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again
sorry kid but "most people" don't give a flying fck
I want that
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.
🖤⚡✌
👏👍
I will leave out peas in mine 😮 i hate them
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!
Nope what you made is a chicken pie. The pot in chicken pot pie refers to the pot that replaces the bottom crust.
Looks great! Consider cayenne pepper and cubed potatoes! Cooked in deep dish spring form pan!!
I’m 56 and apparently have been missing out on proper CPP my entire life. Thank you! I cN’t wait to make this.
That looks so good, I've only had chicken pot pies from the box you showed when talking about burning your mouth and they are meh.
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!!!
Awesome video, great recipe! My Grandma did make chicken pot pie that was kinda like this. When served it was in a bowl with added hot milk. RIP Grandma
Oooh that look so good 😊
That is one spectacular pie, my brother.
Cock-adoodle-do!
Thank you.
A little better than Marie Calendars….lol. Not even the same dimension. Just received my tall tart tin, so it’s on!!!
Never liked chicken pie until twice: first yours – strictly followed then I did a second one that added some sherry and mushrooms with some subtractions…..(no peas….) also really good your techniques are superb.
Great job❤️
Dang…shouldn’t have watched this before bed. Now I’m hungry
That's disgusting to call a chicken pot pie a chicken pp i will never know how you make it because I won't waste my time with someone who talks like that and grown man ridiculous
WOW! Freaking amazing!
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.
I have not heard someone reference "schmalz" since my mother died many years ago. You rock.
I love CPP, but i absolutely dislike peas. So i just dont add any
Chicken and vegetable pie! Pot pie is in a pot with some biscuits or other bread on top.
I don’t like chicken pot pie but that looks delicious. I really like that it’s not runny but so sulk of chicken. Great job.
From a Mississippi Grandma that did make Chicken PP for the grandkids. Good job. Looks delicious. Lots of new tips to try.
My ex-husband made a delicious homemade from scratch chicken pot pie.
