The Ultimate Homemade Chicken Pot Pie

okay this is one of those things you either see people making from the frozen food aisle or if they do make it from home it's suck so let's make it not we're making a chicken potpie din it it holds a special place in my heart no we just did chicken fried steak with my mom oh I just spit at the camera bro it's very rare that you find someone making it from scratch I don't know why but I just never see it so with the let's set let's do this shall we okay so to start things off you'll need cooked chicken sure you can use a grocery-store rotisserie chicken but we're gonna roast our own for the Flex so to do that you're gonna take a whole chicken and then using kitchen shears you're going to remove the spine place it open spine side down make the chicken shake it's yams a little bit that's that's disrespectful press on the breast and snap the breast plate in half so you have a nice flat little chicken tuck the wings behind the head line a baking sheet with foil followed by a wire rack place your chicken on top Pat it super super super dry with paper towel coated lightly and oil give a little rub now massage season generously with salt and pepper and roasted 425 degrees Fahrenheit or 220 degrees Celsius for 30 to 45 minutes or until golden brown crispy skin and the internal temp reaches 165 Fahrenheit now before you do anything here's a little trick take all the skin off all that quiz B skin let it cool a little bit place it on a cutting board then finely chop it until you get these little crunchies like this place it in a cup set it to the side we're gonna use that later then once the chickens cool enough for you to handle if it depends on if you have asbestos hands or not remove all the meat from the chicken shred it and mix it together the bones you can say for stock for another time now making the filling for the Popeyes super easy so with a medium saucepan add 2 cups or 470 milliliters of chicken stock bringing it up to a light boil immediately shut off the heat add 1/2 a cup or 11 grams of dried morel mushrooms and 1/4 cup or 7 grams of dried chanterelle mushrooms you can use any dried mushroom you want though and also 2 bay leaves swirl it around cover them with foil and let that rehydrate for about 15 to 20 minutes don't skip this there's so much flavor involved here 1/3 hydrated remove your bay leaves squeeze out all the liquid from the mushrooms back into your broth save that broth take your ring down mushrooms rough chop your chanterelles slice your morels place those to the side in a medium sized pot just look just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pot bring that up over medium-high heat and then once very hot you're gonna add 3/4 of a cup or 110 grams of cubed ham use the good stuff just stir that a little bit until it gets nicely browned remove the ham from the pot reduce the temperature to medium and on five tablespoons our 70 grams of unsalted butter once that's melted in the butters bulan add two diced yellow onions 1 large carrot diced a close up garlic thinly sliced in your chopped mushrooms season that with salt and pepper give a little stir cook that just until translucent to that you're gonna add half a cup or 70 grams of all-purpose flour mix that in and keep stirring keep stirring just let that cook while stirring often for about a minute but you can add 1 cup or 235 milliliters of whole know 1 cup for 235 milliliters of heavy cream and your mushroom fortified chicken stock now bring that up over a medium heat stirring constantly and what's gonna happen is it's gonna continue to heat up and thicken and thicken with 69 C's once it reaches the appropriate thickness which should look something like this as your ham back along with 10 ounces are 280 grams of frozen peas your chopped chicken skins from earlier and of course your shredded chicken then just mix all that together until thoroughly combined and looking lovely and thick like this okay so we're ready to assemble you're first gonna need some puff pastry that's rolled out to about a quarter of an inch thin and yes I do have a video for homemade puff pastry and that's what you should be using but also I'll only judge you a little of use store-bought because I'm actually using store-bought this one don't tell anybody please I'm very sorry promise this is a rarity then transfer your filling to a 10 to 12 inch cast-iron pan drape your puff pastry on top trim the edges crimp them just a little bit brush the top with heavy cream using a sharp paring knife score cross pattern in the center pop it in your oven at 400 Fahrenheit for 20 minutes then reduce the oven temperature to 350 Fahrenheit for an additional 20 to 25 minutes and then once your pastry looks nice and golden brown crispy like this she's done then just let it rest for about 5 to 10 minutes I recommend serving this in bowls because gonna be a little bit messy and that's your pot pie so we're gonna oh right pie you don't want to burn yourself it's time for you puff pastry cream see the differences most people don't make a morel mushroom broth because we are all about : first sound test can't forget about this sound I mean it's
