Instructions
For the pie dough:
- Cut butter into small pieces and place back in the fridge.
- Make ice water, strain, rescale.
- Add to the mixer with the paddle attachment; flour, sugar, salt, butter and mix until the butter is pea sized.
- Add ice water and vinegar, add to the mixer. Mix just until a solid piece of dough forms.
- Place a dusting of all purpose flour on your table and roll out the dough to about an inch thick and put on parchment on a sheet tray and wrap. Let rest for 30 minutes.
- Remove from fridge and roll out the dough until its about ¼ inch (2 stacked quarters) thick.
- Let rest in the fridge while you make your chicken pot pie filling.
For the filling:
- Dice all vegetables to about the size of the peas.
- In a skillet or pot heat oil, add onions and carrots and cook until the onions begin to become transparent.
- Season as you go with salt and pepper so that the ingredients absorb the flavor.
- Add peas, then garlic. Cook only until the garlic becomes fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Add the butter and melt.
- Add the flour and stir until the vegetables are fully covered.
- Add the chicken broth. Simmer, stirring frequently so it does not burn. Cook for 8-10 minutes.
- Add chopped parsley and shredded chicken.
- Pour into casserole dish and top with pie dough. Recipe is above, but Pillsbury pie dough works perfectly. Brush with egg wash, slit the top with a plus sign in the center and bake until crust is golden brown.
- Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
