The Richest & Creamiest One!

User: LESLIE from Palo Alto, CA User Rating:
We love this one - especially the terribly finicky toddlers and youngsters in our family. We make it often for family events so the children will enjoy their dinner while eating healthy food. (And the adults sometimes prefer this over our turkey or roast or steaks entrees!) We substitute & add veggies in addition to the carrots (we use chopped onions instead of the whole ones, we add frozen green peas &/or broccoli, peeled & chopped potatoes, etc) And we often use a 5 qt enamelled cast iron baker to hold the huge pie - covered with one pastry shell on top brushed with milk prior to baking. And we've found that we prefer cooked chicken thighs to the breasts (boiled, skinned, pulled into large pieces.) So thanks, Ina, we love you and this yummy, buttery-rich & versatile recipe!
A real comfort food!

This is the first time I have tried a pot pie and my family loved it! I used puff pastry as I did not have time to make the dough. Very easy. My kids were not fond of the small onions so next time I will leave them out and substitute mushrooms. I may add some diced pototoes.
Absolutely Awesome!!

I made this pie last night and it was delicious. I tried to make the puff pastry but my machine was not working. I had a refrigerated pie crust in the fridge and it worked great. I cooked for 30 minutes then I put a piece of tinfoil on the pie, so the crust wouldn't burn, and cooked for the remaining 30 minutes. I put in extra carrots and celery. I can't wait to try this as a beef pot pie. Great for winter nights. I do recommend letting the pie rest for about 20-30 minutes so it sets nice.
Needs a little tweeking...

I thought that this recipe was a good master recipe with some changes. I think that there are too many onions, the second time I tried this I cut the onions at the beginning in half and added some chopped garlic to the butter also. In addition I added some diced potatoes which I also blanched.

Nothing to say that hasn't been said. This recipe is versatile - I add potatoes and celery, use fat free half and half for the cream - and most of all delicious. Make your own pastry just once, it is a bit messy and time consuming (but not hard), and is so very good and quite impressive.

This is a very good chicken pot pie. The onions add a wonderful flavor, though the sauteed onions and the pearl onions are a bit much if you don't absolutely love onions. I will make this again.

My husband gave this his highest praise 'You've made good pot pies before, but THIS is what I was waiting for". He doesn't like crusts as a rule, but said this one matched perfectly with the filling. It's worth the 3hrs to make and the calories! It easily feeds 6+.

Due to time constraints, I altered the recipe by using frozen puff pastry shells and spooned the filling over them. Per some suggestions, I added more pepper and potatotes. I was out of peas so I put in fresh mushrooms. The recipe is very forgiving. My whole family loved it!

I have hated chicken pot pie since my evil step monster made us eat the frozen ones when we were kids... but after being asked by my World's Greatest Husband to make it, I chose this recipe! Now he thinks I am World's Greatest Wife! And for Ann from WI and her concern for her heart and arteries... I put this recipe thru the Weight Watchers website and with a few changes (half and half, margarine, store bought pastry...) you can get this to 8 points per serving! Ina, you are the best!

I have made this a few times and each time I try to add something to make it even better. I leave out the pearl onions and peas. I prefer to substitute celery and potatoes. Makes such a hearty meal. I also add two cloves of finely chopped garlic. Wow what great flavor. I'm not crazy about my crust so I have used puff pastry and this time I made biscuits and placed them on the top and baked as a casserole. Comes out perfect. I look forward to the fall so I can make this all winter long. I honestly love you Ina. I watch you everyday. I just think you're wonderful!!!!! My family and I love your recipes!!!

User: SUSAN from NEWARK, CA User Rating:
This came out so good.If you follow the ratios of flour,butter and stock the thicknes of the filling is just right. Puff pastry works great except that it cooks faster than the filling so I had to cover it with foil half way through and remove it 10 minutes before I took them out and they were perfectly done. My husband says it was the best chicken pot pie he ever had. I froze the leftover filling and will use for a fast and easy weeknight meal.
Excited about results.

I was worried about the quantities for filling and top crusts-I made 5 pies and should have made 6, and there would have been enough easy-to-use pastry per recipe, an my bowls were about 8 " diameter, and the pastry was so simple to work with. I added celery, omitted final onions (cooked extra chopped onions to begin with) and added some frozen "southern hashbrown" potatoes as they are par-cooked and diced, and LOVED the results. I also think mushroom would be delicious in this recipe. This is a keeper for company as well! Thanks Ina.

User: lynn from New Baltimore, MI User Rating:
This is by far the BEST chicken pot pie recipe I have ever made! It definitely takes some time, but oh so worth it! I left out the pearl onions and added celery and potatoes, and even a little cheddar cheese. Note: If you are making this for company, you definitely want to make individual pies because as a whole pie the first piece is runny and hard to get out (even if you let it rest awhile), but after the air gets to it, it thickens up real nice. I had enough filling for two whole pies, so we had it again the next day! It's that good!

User: William from Bakersfield, CA User Rating:
This is a wonderful recipe for family and guests. I have found that when timing requires a short cut,if I utilize the time honored frozen, not tubed, Pillsbury biscuits rather than taking time to make a crust, it works wonderfully. Also, I utilize the pan oil and flavors from baking the breasts as part of the butter to saute the onions. This enhances the flavors even more. Ina's recipes are the greatest, however they usually make for very large portions, which in this case is great for leftovers. I also line a greased ramacan with plastic wrap, fill it with the leftover amount required for one serving and freeze it, then remove from the ramcan and vacuum seal it and store it in the freezer for later use.

This recipe for chicken pot pie is the best ever. I've tried several other recipes, but none was just right until I tried Ina's recipe. I did just a few things different. I left out the pearl onions and added small diced potatoes instead that I blanched with the carrots. Also, I cooked my carrots a little longer than was suggested. Instead of making the pastry, I cheated and used frozen puff pastry. This made 2 large pies. My kids even ate their vegetables this way!

I followed the recipe exactly. They were wonderful. Like all of Ina's recipes, it was perfect. For me, the recipe made 6 - 16oz. pies. To the person who had soupy results, don't add more stock because when you bake the pies, the vegetables will release water. I froze the extra pies and baked them a couple of weeks later. They tasted just as wonderful as the first ones.

This was a very good pot pie recipe. The sauce ended up being very rich, so it might actually work as a small supper or side dish rather than a full meal. There was also something lacking in the flavor. The vegetables didn't seem to really pick up anything and were kind of bland. Maybe throwing in some roasted corn or peppers might liven it up a bit. It was very easy to make and reheated well.

Okay, Ina. Maybe you have a wanton disregard for your heart and arteries but I don't. Two and one half sticks of butter, 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening and 1/4 cup of heavy cream????? No wonder the reviews are mostly great but why do you have to use butter and cream to flavor the dish. Chicken pot pies can be quite tasty without all of the fat, cholesterol and calories.

I made it yesterday for my family and they all loved it. I only made half of the recipe and it fit 4 individual bowls perfectly. my only question though, it turned soupy after I baked it, even after I let it rest for a couple of minutes. Before I baked it, it was super thick and creamy. Does it suppossed to be like that? I did add 1/2 cup more stock because it was too thick and I use probabl 1/2 cup cream for half of the recipe to make it creamier, but I don't think this is the reason since it was still very thick before I baked it and I thought I will came out the same way after baking. Anyway, the taste is still fabulous. The crust was flaky even though I used all butter and made it with fork instead of food processor. Definitely will make it again, just trying to make it thicker in texture.

User: Judith from Duluth, GA User Rating:
This is absolutely the all-time best pot pie recipe. It is thick and full of tender chicken that almost melts in your mouth. I make it over the weekend and freeze several of the servings to eat during the week. My husband used to be a Marie Callender's pot pie lover. Even though he picked out all the peas, he wouldn't eat any other brand. But since I made this recipe substituting fresh green beans for the peas and adding frozen corn, he's announced that I don't need to BUY any more pot pies for him. He wants me to make several batches and freeze them for his meals for when I work late...that means he's "cooking" his own dinner and I don't have to!

On a cold, rainy day in April in the Pacific Northwest, I decided to try this. It was great. The only thing I did different was to buy a package of petite peas and pearl onions mixed, and being pressed for time, I made a buscuit mix and put it on top of the pies. Turned out great, but next time I'll try the right topping. It's a keeper.

This recipe was time consuming and made a mess but it was so worth it. I made a shortcut and used puff pastry for the crust, I baked it seperatly and topped before serving. I would omit the pearl onions if I made it again, after an hour of cooking they were still hard. http://cookingdunkinstyle.blogspot.com/

This has become my new standard for making chicken pot pies. I used the recipe to produce one large pie (with crust on top and bottom) and a smaller "single-serve" bowl. The taste is second-to-none, and the full-sized pie froze well and warmed to perfection in an oven just like it was fresh. To the gravy mixture, I did at a bit of herbes de Provence just for a little more flavor. Overall, a fantastic and easy recipe...look out Marie Callender!
Great !!!

This was just awesomwe. I made afew modifications like others, and this is the BEST pot pie I have ever tasted (and liked). I also used a puff pastry sheet. I used a frozen mix of peas, green beans, carrots, potatoes, and onions. I did have one question. I think that this would make a fabulous Chicken and Dumplings recipe if you omit the vegetables and maybe add a little more stock and bring the mixture to a low boil and just drop in some dumplings. If anyone has done this, please share. Again, awesome recipe. My two year old and five year old devoured it, veggies and all.

I made this recipe for my family the other night and they all loved it! I followed the recipe, with the exceptions of I used 1/2 of a vidillia onion (sweet) and 1 added diced new potatoes (from a can) and left out the pearl onions. It was very good. I would prefer more crust, so I think next time I will use a different crust recipe - although this was very nice. Thank you for sharing this.

I must say I'm proud of myself for actually making the dough from scractch (a first), and although the results were pretty good, this was waaay too time consuming (almost three hours from start to finish!) The taste was fine, but dare I say you can get the same flavor from the frozen Pepperidge Farm or Boston Market pot pies. Perhaps on a special occassion I will make this one again.
Wonderful!

I made this this weekend and tried it with the puff pastry Ina had suggested. It was great but like another had said the cook time was cut in half.

Can I just tell you? Amazing. I swear, one pot pie should be enough for two separate meals but of course I housed the entire thing in one sitting. It was so amazing. I cheated on the crust and used a ready-to-use Pillsbury crust - if you use a different crust than Ina's recipe just keep an eye on your pot pie b/c mine was golden brown in about 30 minutes (she recommends a 60 minute baking time for her crust). Enjoy this b/c honestly it's the best thing in like, life! You're gonna freak.

This is a really great base recipe. I use leftover roast chicken and add the leftover gravy I have to the stock (gravy: pour chicken drippings from roasting pan and separate the fat. Saute 1/4 cup onions or shallot, chopped fine in one T of the fat, until soft. Add back the jus.) This makes for a really rich tasting stock. I then add carrots, asparagus & peas. I can't find frozen pearl onioins, so I just add extra regular onion. My family loves this chicken pot pie. Thank you Ina! :)

Very, very good, I used rotisserie chicken (they were on sale yesterday) so the grocery store cooked the chicken for me, and I pulled off the skin and deboned, this saved a lot of time. I also used puff pastry....excellent. My prep & cook time for the filling was about 30 minutes or so and baking time in the oven was 40 minutes. I did half the recipe and it still made a lot of filling, enough to feed at least 6. Will definitely make this again.

This was soooo wonderful. I regret that i did not have time to make the crust from scratch. I did buy two sets of premade crusts from the grocery store and it was awesome. (I made two pies.) The chicken cooked wonderfully on the bone. I didn't alter the onion content and it was AWESOME. (I love onions.) My only complaint is that 2 teaspoons of even kosher salt seemed a bit much (and I like my salt) in the filling. But a total homerun overall. My Dad said that he liked it better than my Mom's chicken pie. Ouch.

I am new to cooking and even my pot pies came out delicious. I added potatoes and mushrooms and only used one large yellow union (no small frozen onions). To save time I used skinless boneless chicken breast fillets which only took 15 minutes to cook in the oven. My family and husband loved it. It was so filling too. I could have easily served 6 people with 6 smaller pies instead of 4 larger ones. Very yummy.

This recipe is amazing! It is very time consuming, and I would not recommend it if you don't enjoy spending time in the kitchen. However, if you do, it is well worth the effort. I followed the recipe in every way except adding a little diced potato, a little frozen corn and I omitted the sauteed onions, because my husband is not a fan of onions. These pot pies were truly delicious, and made about 5-6 very large individual pot pies.

This recipe is easy to follow, quick, and absolutely delicious. I changed it somewhat by adding a bottom crust and baking it in a deep dish pie dish but the flavors were just delicious. Since my son loves potatoes in his pot pie I cooked potatoes and cut in chucks and added to pot when adding the chicken and other veggies. I will definitely be making this again & it is definitely good enough to serve to company. Also, I had so much filling left over you can serve another meal & change it up a bit by serving over rice or noodles.

Not only did my husband (who is a very picky eater) devour this dish but my 5 and 3 yr olds loved it as well. The preparation was not at all difficult. And I'll credit my kids as they claimed it was "Yummy". And to get a yummy out of them when there are no sweets involved is a challenging thing. It was fun for them to eat through the dough. Perfect for a real cold day in New York!!! So, Thank you Ina and Food Network for this amazing recipe. I will be passing it out to all my mommy friends. This dish is kids approved!!!!

I made this dish for company; it was enjoyed by all. I did make a few minor modifications -- I used one very large sweet onion in place of the two and used a package of frozen peas with pearl onions. I don't like to bite into pearl onions, so it seemed like the right amount. I did use the full 6 split chicken breasts and will cut that down to 4 in the future. It was a lot of chicken for 4 servings (which ended up being more like 8 servings). I don't really like making pastry, so I baked the chicken mixture in individual baking dishes for 20 minutes, and then covered the tops with puff pastry (brush with a little egg yolk/water mixture for a nice, golden finish) and put back in the oven for 40 minutes. Nice, hearty winter meal. I took the leftover chicken mixture, heated it and put it in a small casserole, made (Bisquick!) drop biscuits for the top and baked the whole thing off in the oven.
Excellent!

My boyfriend & I have always wanted to make chicken pot pie. I decided since I had the day off from work today, I would surprise him when he came home from work. I automatically went to food network for help and came across Ina's recipe. I've tried several of Ina's recipes, all of which have turned out wonderfully. This was no excpetion. It turned out perfect and I can't wait to share/make this for friends. The flavor and consistency was exactly what I was looking for. The only thing changed was: added diced potatoes (which I peeled and cooked beforehand), I added frozen kernel corn and eliminated the frozen small onions. Since the grocery store was out of puff pastry and I didn't have the time to make my own crust, I bought Pillsbury flaky layered biscuits and placed them on top of the filling before placing in the oven. I had plenty of leftover filling which I placed in the freezer and can't wait to use again. My boyfriend & I highly recommend this if you're looking for a classic, traditional chicken pot pie!
