This was delicious and easy. I used a 12 oz. bag of frozen mixed vegetables and store bought pie crust for a weeknight meal using up leftover holiday turkey and home made turkey stock. I avoid recipes that use condensed cream soups however the stick of butter used in this recipe raised my husband's eyebrows a bit but he still ate about 2 portions!
Chicken Pot Pie
Charles E. Walton IV
This recipe was shared by James H. Schwartz, our senior editor, who loves pot pies. His original recipe calls for fresh pastry and haricots verts--thin French green beans--blanched and stirred in before baking. For time-saving purposes you can use refrigerated piecrust and omit the beans. If you have extra time, trim and blanch beans quickly before adding to this delicious dish. Store-bought rotisserie chicken provides ease and extra flavor.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 small leeks or 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 (14-ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups frozen baby corn blend*
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, divided
- 3 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 1/2 (15-ounce) refrigerated piecrust
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon water
Preparation
- 1. Preheat oven to 400°. Melt butter over medium heat. Sauté leeks 7 minutes. Sprinkle flour over leeks. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Whisk in chicken broth and next 3 ingredients; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add peas, corn blend, parsley, 2 teaspoons dill, and chicken. Mix well. Pour into a greased 9-inch deep pie dish.
- 2. Whisk together egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water, and brush underside of crust edge with egg wash. Place crust, brushed side down, over pie; crimp or use back of fork to seal rim of crust around dish. Cut 4 to 5 vents in the pastry. Brush top with egg wash, and sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon dill. Bake at 400° for 30 to 35 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and mixture is bubbling.
- *For testing purposes, we used Birdseye baby corn mix with corn, carrots, and broccoli.
Note:
Note that packaged roasted, diced chicken, although convenient, tends to be salty, so be sure to taste before seasoning. To keep sauce from bubbling over in the oven, place on a baking sheet or seal edges of dough by pressing with back of a fork around the rim of pie dish.
