How to Make Chicken and Potato Pot Pie
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the onion. Cook and stir until tender.
- Add the carrot and potato and stir them in. Do the same for the celery and cubed chicken breast. Cook and stir until the chicken meat changes color.
- Add the green beans, season with thyme, pepper, and salt, then stir in. Do the same for the flour.
- Add the chicken stock and heavy cream, stir them in and simmer for 15 minutes. Set aside.
- Add the flour, butter, and baking powder to a blender. Season with salt and start mixing. Gradually add the milk in the process. Mix until you have a dough.
- Dust the work surface with flour and place the dough on it. Flatten it using the rolling pin.
- Cut the flattened dough into discs using a 3-inch cookie cutter. We’ve got 8 of them.
- Transfer the chicken-vegetable mixture to an 11 x 7 x 2 inches (28 x 18 x 5 cm) baking dish. Spread it evenly.
- Top with grated Cheddar and dough discs. Coat these with the whisked yolk. Bake for 40 minutes at 350⁰F/175⁰C.
