Barefoot Contessa Makes Chicken Pot Pie | Barefoot Contessa | Food Network

[Music] potpies I've made lots of them lobster potpie vegetable pot pie I think chicken pot pies the classic so for the sauce what I've done is I've cooked two onions and one even half sticks of butter and just for about 10 minutes until they're translucent and then I'm gonna thicken it with 3/4 of a cup of flour just stir it in and cook it for a few minutes just to get rid of that raw flour taste this is really like making a white sauce it actually is making a white sauce and after this cook for a minute or so I'm gonna add 5 cups of chicken stock I actually have a little trick for chicken stock even if it's really flavorful you want the entire dish to be flavorful so I'm getting two bouillon cubes and then slowly pour this into the the white sauce of the roux and what that's gonna do is really just thicken it I need 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper remember this has to be really well-seasoned because it's gonna flavor all the chicken and vegetables and then because I wanted to have a little bit of richness I'm gonna add a quarter of a cup of heavy cream just to give it a little extra flavor and to this sauce I'm gonna start by adding lots of great vegetables and the secret is some of them can be frozen vegetables one and a half cups of frozen onions just think a hard it would be to peel these onions ten ounces of frozen peas not those tiny little Peas want good big size peas and I planted some carrots two cups and some fresh parsley and the last thing is chicken so five cups of cubed chicken that have been roasted on the bone with the skin on to keep them really nice and succulent didn't just mix it all up oh this looks great so that's the chicken pot pie filling done all I have to do is roll like the dress okay last part of chicken pot pie putting the pastry on I actually made pastry for something else and just froze this pastry so be ready whatever I mean it it and they defrost it in the refrigerator you don't want to defrost at room temperature because he needs to stay really cold so I'm just gonna leave dough there for a minute so I'm doing individual pot pies so I'm gonna put them in oven proof ramekins it's spilling looks gorgeous big chunks of juicy chicken carrots whole onions now let me the crust top so I'm just gonna roll out the dough I'll cut it in fourths you know if you don't even have time to do the dough what you can do is get some frozen puff pastry and defrost it in the refrigerator and use that instead it's light it's wonderful and it's really easy so roll each one of these out into a roll maybe about an 8-inch round flour everything including yourself a little bit when you rolling out dough to make a round you want to keep turning it roll it from the center out to the edge this is nice dough you just want to keep it moving make sure it never sticks to the board you can roll it on wood but if you have stone it's even better right on that counter okay now the secret to the dough sticking to the dish it's just a little bit of an egg wash that you're gonna use on the top any way around the edge it makes a little rat so just put the dough on top this obvious a little too big and you just want to trim the dough so that it's about half an inch bigger than the bowl doesn't have to be perfect nice country homey rough edge is nice just like that okay and then just stick it to the edge of the bowl and it'll stick because of the egg wash that you put on it now just wash the top so the dough puffs up and it's nicely browned it's gonna be wonderful so when these baked the steam and the chicken pot pie filling will puff up the dough and it's going to turn out gorgeous and then I like to season the top with flaked sea salt so you see it it's just wonderful it's like sea salt watch out lots of flavor crack pepper okay that one's done just three more I've even bother crimping it just press it right down [Music] I'm gonna bake them for an hour at 375 and they're gonna be puffed and succulent chicken pot pies I think we're all gonna have a good time Wow this actually look like chicken pot pies sometimes I even surprise myself you
