it's both easy and delicious


first make a basic chicken soup- brown up some chicken (I use a mix of breast and thigh) in some nice bite size chunks add potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, tarragon, thyme, broth, salt and pepper. let simmer a bit and then add either a roux or a flour and water (or cornstarch) slurry to thicken. once thickened add peas at this stage or they tend to overcook while tenderizing up the carrots and potato.

some people say that a chicken pot pie needs both a bottom and a top crust, I usually just have a top crust. do what ya want.

you will want to ladle some stew into an oven proof bowl, then lay your pie crust over and crimp along the sides of the bowl. egg wash and bake till crust looks delicious. the bowls should be the right size to each be a single serving.

best of luck
