Ingredients Needed for Spring Chicken Pot Pie

When I think of a Spring Chicken Pot Pie, my mind automatically goes to bright, bold flavors. In order to achieve this in chicken pot pie form, white wine, lemon juice and a medley of herbs work together to brighten up a classic comfort food dish. Here is what else you will need to have for this recipe:

• Chicken breasts (or tenders)
• Onion
• Garlic
• Baby carrots – I like to use these because not only are they a little sweeter, but they slice up into perfect-sized rounds!
• Flour
• White wine – Sauvignon Blanc is what I typically use for cooking
• Lemon juice
• Heavy cream
• Chicken Stock
• Thyme
• Rosemary
• Frozen peas
• Frozen corn
• Puff pastry

Now, I know what you may be thinking after looking at that list – holy cow that’s a lot of ingredients! But, don’t you worry, it all comes together in one dish and creates a scrumptious pot pie.

Different Crust Options for Your Chicken Pot Pie

Without a doubt, the best part of a chicken pot pie is the crust. There’s just no debate haha! Now, there’s several ways to go about achieving that perfectly golden brown crust. In this recipe, I use puff pastry because it’s easy and efficient. I love all the layers that a puff pastry gives off and how it gets nice and crispy. Here are some other crust options:

• Puff pastry
• Store-bought pie crust
• Homemade pie crust – House of Yumm has a great pie crust recipe!
• Biscuits
• Crescent rolls

I love how heart-warming and just down-right good a pot pie is. Combined with bright flavors of Spring, this chicken pot pie is hard to resist! Gather around the table and dig in. 

Whether you serve it family-style in one big pan, or as individual pot pies, this recipe will be one for the books!

Instructions

For the filling:

1. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, oven-proof skillet/braiser. Add in the chicken and sauté for several minutes on both sides until browned, remove and set aside as the chicken will finish cooking later. Add the onion, garlic and carrots into the pan and sauté for a few minutes more, avoiding any browning.
2. Add the flour into the pan and stir to coat the veggies completely with the flour. Allow to cook for about a minute. Pour in the white wine and lemon juice and stir to get all the browned bits off from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream and chicken stock. Add in the thyme and rosemary.
3. Transfer the chicken back into the sauce along with the frozen peas and corn. Stir to coat. Season with the salt and pepper. Allow the filling to simmer on low for about 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened.

For the crust:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Gently roll out the puff pastry to fit the circumference of your pan. If you are using a round pan, you can cut the edges of the puff pastry to fit, fold them over, or let them gently hang over the side of the pan.
2. Gently lay the puff pastry on top of the prepared filling. Use a sharp knife to cut a couple air-vents in the center. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water and then evenly brush the top of the puff pastry with some of the egg wash. If desired, sprinkle with flakey sea salt before baking.
3. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown.

Notes

• Puff pastry, pie crust, biscuits or crescent rolls can be used to make a crust for the chicken pot pie.
• If using individual ramekins, pour the filling into the ramekin, then cut the puff pastry to fit the circumference of the ramekin. Bake until golden brown.
