Katie’s Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Potpie 

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter

5 Tbs flour 1/2 cup madeira or dry sherry

2 1/2 cups chicken stock

1 tsp chopped fresh thyme

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp fresh pepper

1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

6 cups shredded cooked chicken

1 cup frozen peas

1 cup shredded carrots

1 (17 ounce package frozen puff pastry

1 egg

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Melt butter in a 4-quart saucepan. Whisk in flour. Cook for 2 minutes or until bubbly, whisking constantly. Add the madeira. Add the chicken stock gradually, whisking constantly. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until thickened and smooth, whisking constantly. Stir in thyme, salt and pepper. Add the cream gradually, stirring constantly. Stir in chicken, peas and carrots. Cook for 20 minutes. Divide evenly among 6 to 8 individual bowls.

Meanwhile, thaw the puff pastry according to the package directions. Unfold 1 pastry sheet at a time on a lightly floured surface. Roll out slightly. Repeat with the remaining pastry. Cut 3 to 4 circles from each pastry sheet in a diameter slightly larger than the bowls. Moisten the edge of each circle with water and drape over the top of the bowl, sealing or fluting the edge. Cut out decorative shapes, such as leaves, from the pastry scraps with a sharp knife if desired. Brush the cutouts with water and gently lay on top. Place the bowls on a baking sheet. Combine egg with a small amount of water in a bowl and mix well. Brush over tops of potpies. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 40 minutes.

Enjoy!
