J. GARVIN'S CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• In a large saucepan heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add celery, carrot, garlic, and shallot to pan; sauté for 2 minutes.
• Add asparagus, onion, corn, and snow peas. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour in chicken stock, ½ cup cream, and sweetened condensed milk. Add chicken and bring to a simmer.
• In a small bowl stir together cornstarch and the water to create a thickening agent, then pour into pot; stir until thickened and bubbly.
• Stir in butter until melted. Stir in rosemary and thyme; remove from heat.
• Cut puff pastry sheets in half, then set aside. Beat egg and the 1 tablespoon cream together; set aside.
• Fill four individual ceramic baking dishes evenly with chicken mixture. Cover each dish with a piece of puff pastry. Pinch edges to seal and cut off excess around sides. Take a fork and poke a few holes in top of puff pastry. Brush puff pastry with egg mixture.
• Bake pot pies about 35 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

CLASSIC CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a heavy-duty pot, cook the onion, celery and carrot with the butter on medium to high heat until the vegetables are soft. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (be careful not to burn). Stir in the flour and cook until a paste forms. Reduce to low heat and add the chicken broth, half-and-half, sea salt, sage, pepper, allspice, nutmeg, dry mustard and cayenne. Cook until thickened, periodically stirring. Remove from the heat and add the chicken and peas. (Pot pie filling can be made the day before and chilled, or day-of if using right away.) Portion the pot pie filling into 4 small oven-safe crocks or baking dishes, with at least 1 cup filling per dish. Cut the puff pastry sheets according to the sizes of the baking dishes, enough to cover the top.
• Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown and has risen, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. When the butter is hot, add the garlic and saute for 1 minute or until it is golden. Add the onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, thyme and sage and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• In another saucepan, melt the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add the flour and mix well. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until pale golden. Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring with a wire whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes, then add to the vegetable mixture, along with the peas, corn and chicken. Return to a boil, remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• To serve the pies, fill heated bowls with the chicken mixture and top with puff-pastry lids. To eat, place the puff pastry on a heated plate, punch in the center with the back of a large spoon and pour the contents of the bowl over the puff pastry.
