material
■ 3 Florida chicken breasts or 4 thighs, diced to medium size
■ 2 cups Florida carrots (medium diced)
■ 2 cups medium diced Florida potatoes
■ 1 Florida celery (small cubes)
■ 1/2 sweet onion (cut into small cubes)
■ 2 cups frozen peas
■ 4-6 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup fresh cream
■ 1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tbsp fresh thyme
2 tbsp olive oil
■ All-purpose flour 1/2 cup
■ Frozen/prepared puff pastry or puff pastry for topping
■ 1 egg (beaten)
■ Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Preparation
■We preheat oven to 375 degrees. Preheat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and sauté for 5 minutes.
■ Add fresh thyme, garlic, onions, carrots, celery, peas, and potatoes. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle flour over mixture, stir to coat all over, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then slowly incorporate stock (start with minimal amount of liquid and add until desired thickness ).
■ Boil for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat, add fresh cream and mix.
■ To assemble the pot pie, first cut out a dough shape larger than the diameter of the dish (this will be the top only). Pour the pot pie mixture into individual ramekins or casserole dishes, top with puff pastry or puff pastry and press to seal or crimp the edges.
■ Add 1 tablespoon of tap water to the beaten egg in a small bowl. Whisk the egg ingredients and mix with the egg mixture. Make a small venting cut in the center of the pie crust or pie crust and brush the surface with the egg mixture.
■Place on a baking sheet and bake for 30-60 minutes (depending on the size of the baking sheet) or until the surface turns golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve (it will be very hot).
