Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • baking dish
  • Rolling Pin
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

For the pot pie filling

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter sliced
  • 1 medium white onion diced
  • 3 stalks celery diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 rotisserie chicken chicken meat bones and skin removed, meat shredded or diced
  • 2 cups frozen peas and carrots blend thawed and drained of excess water
  • 1 ½ teaspoons fresh rosemary stems removed and roughly chopped
  • 1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme leaves stems removed
  • 1 ½ teaspoons fresh sage roughly chopped
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper plus more to taste

For the puff pastry topping

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed in the fridge
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • salt optional

Instructions
 

Method

  • In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté until translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium, sprinkle flour over the vegetables, and stir to create a roux. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Combine chicken stock and milk in a mixing bowl, then gradually add to the roux-coated vegetables, stirring continuously. Simmer until thickened, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Fold in chicken, peas, carrots, and herbs. Taste and adjust seasoning, then pour into a baking dish and cool for 15 minutes.
  • Roll out puff pastry to an 11 x 15-inch rectangle and create an egg wash with the egg yolk and water. Lay pastry over the filling, crimp edges, and cut slits for vents.
  • Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and filling bubbles.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
