CHICKEN

POT PIE

This is my first sharing of a savory dish. It's an easy and simple dish, but super delicious. It's good as a starter with a bit of pastry on the top, and creamy chicken soup in the inside. Something you can impress your guests with these cups, freshly baked from the oven, with great presentation. Not only that it is delicious, it is healthy with a well balance diet of meat and vegetable. You can always replace chicken with beef or mutton, whatever you desire.

Hope you'll enjoy this recipe and my video.

STEP 1: Prepare the ingredients

Chicken Pot Pie:

2 soup cups

4 tbsp unsalted butter

4 tbsp All-purpose flour

2 cups chicken broth

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup carrot

1/2 cup potato

2 pounds boneless chicken

1/4 cup onion

1/4 cup green peas

1/4 cup mushroom

A pinch of salt

A pinch of pepper

1 tbsp dried parsley

Top with 4x4inch puff pastry

1 egg (for brushing the top)

Prepare the chicken broth by boil about 2-3 cups of water with chicken bones (you can also use chicken meat).

Cut all the vegetables into cubes.

STEP 2: Cook the ingredients

Preheat oven 400°F/220°C.

Preheat the cooking pan. Add in butter, stir until it is melted and bubbling.

Then add in the flour. Stir well.

Add the chicken broth. Keep stirring, else it will be sticky. Stir until it gives a creamy consistency. Use a back of the spoon to test the gravy. If the gravy is not runny on the spoon, that is the consistency you're looking at. You don't really have to use a spoon, this is just to show how consistency is, as you don't want the gravy to be too thick or too watery.

Then add in the heavy cream, and keep stirring until it is combined.

Add in carrots and potatoes first, as they take longer time to cook. Simmer it for a minute.
