• In a small bowl, whisk melted butter and flour. Set aside.
• In a large frying pan over medium heat, saute onion, carrots, celery, and garlic in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper as needed.

CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. While the oil is heating, season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan and cook on each side until internal temperature reads 165 degrees. Remove the chicken and set aside.
• In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, garlic, and carrots. Using a wooden spoon, stir the vegetables to coat them in the butter and scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Cook the veggies until they start to soften. Add the thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the top of the veggies and stir to combine. Add the chicken stock to the flour mixture. Adjust the heat to bring the pot to a strong simmer. Simmer the sauce until it's thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 10-15 minutes.
• While the filling simmers, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add the lemon juice and peas to the filling and stir to combine. Add the cream and stir. Ladle filling into bowls or a baking dish.
• In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg. Depending on what you decide to use to bake the pot pies (see notes for details), cut the pie dough to fit the dish (or bowls). Brush the edges of the pie dough with water so it adheres to the baking dish. Brush the top of the pie dough with a light coating of egg and sprinkle some cheese over the top. Cut a few slits in the dough to allow steam to escape while it bakes.
• Bake the pot pies on a baking sheet at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Take your crock type oven-safe bowl top side down onto the floured surface and twist and turn and remove circle of crusts (and continue the same with other remaining dough/pie crusts); trim the circle to 1/2 inch larger than the top of the bowl.
• 6. Meanwhile, divide the filling equally among 4/5 ovenproof bowls. Brush the outside edges of each bowl with the egg wash. Place the dough cirlces on top. Crimp the dough to fold over the side, pressing it to stick. Brush the dough with the egg wash and make 3 slits in the top. Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper.
