- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- To make the filling, in a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, garlic, celery and carrots and cook, stirring often until the carrots are crisp/tender (about 7-8 minutes).
- Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
- While whisking the mixture, add the stock, chicken base, salt and pepper.
- Whisk until smooth and bring to a boil. Simmer until thickened (about 3-5 minutes).
- Remove from the heat and stir in the heavy cream, parsley, thyme, turkey and peas. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
- Place the bottom crust into an ungreased 9 inch, deep dish pie pan. Press the crust firmly against the sides and bottom
- Pour the slightly cooled filling into the pie crust. Place the second crust over the filling.
- Fold the excess top crust over the outside edge of the bottom pie crust edge. Press edges together to seal.
- Then crimp the edges of the pie crust:Place your index finger and thumb about 1 inch apart on the outside of the crust ridge. Use the index finger of the other hand to press the crust between your thumb and index finger. Repeat all the way around the pie. See photo for reference:
- Whisk the egg and 1 Tbsp water together and brush the egg wash all over the top crust.
- Cut a few slits into the top of the pie crust to vent the pie.
- Place the pot pie on a baking sheet to catch and spills. Bake at 425° for 30-40 minutes until the crust is a deep golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.Pro Tip: if the crust is getting too brown tent some foil loosely over the pot pie for the remaining cooking time.
- Let the pie cool for 15-20 minutes before spooning/cutting individual portions.
- Serving
- Excellent served with a side salad and rolls.Broccoli Bacon Salad and Raspberry Jello Fluff go great with this pot pie too!
- Preparation for Freezing
- Prepare the filling and let it cool. Now prepare the pie pan (make sure it is freezer and oven safe) with the bottom crust. Fill it with the cooled filling.Now add the top crust and crimp the edges, then make 4 slits in the top. Wrap the entire pot pie and pan in plastic wrap and then foil. Keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Baking from Frozen
- Do not thaw the frozen pot pie before baking. Unwrap all the protective wrapping and discard.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush the crust with an egg wash.Pop the frozen pot pie in the oven, on a baking sheet to catch spills, and bake for 80-90 minutes until it is golden and bubbling. If the crust is getting too dark simply tent some foil over top for the remaining cooking time.

Individual Double-Crusted Chicken Pot Pies Recipe
This is the double-crusted chicken pot pie I grew up with, based on my mother's recipe and updated with Daniel's techniques for cold-poached chicken and basic chicken stock. The result is a super-concentrated broth for the filling, with tender chunks of chicken that stay juicy even after baking.

- For the Crust: Prepare a double batch of Flaky, Tender, and Nutty Whole Wheat Pie Crust as directed. Divide dough in half and roll each half into a thin sheet, around 3/16 inch thick, using as much flour as needed to prevent sticking along the way. Transfer pieces to a half sheet pan, cover tightly with foil, and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 48 hours before using.
- For the Chicken: Combine chicken stock, chicken parts, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme, parsley, rosemary, and bay leaf in a 5-quart stainless steel pot or saucier. Cover and place over medium-high heat until stock registers about 150°F (66°C) on a digital thermometer.
- Adjust heat to maintain that temperature, plus or minus 10°F, and cook until thickest part of chicken registers 135°F (57°C), about 1 hour. Remove chicken with tongs, set aside on a rimmed platter, and cover loosely. Strain stock through a mesh sieve into a large bowl, discard solids, and set stock aside to cool.
- For the Filling: Combine gelatin and 1/4 cup (55ml) cooled stock in a small bowl and whisk until no lumps remain; set aside. In a 5-quart saucier, melt butter over medium-low heat, then whisk in flour. Stir with a heat-resistant spatula until roux is fragrant and a nutty blond color, about 5 minutes (it's okay to adjust the heat if this seems to be happening too slowly). Stir in diced onion, carrots, and celery and continue cooking and stirring until vegetables are slightly softened, about 7 minutes more.
- Add white wine and 1 quart reserved stock, stirring constantly until smooth; remaining stock from poaching can be reserved for another use. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it begins to bubble, remove from heat. Stir in frozen peas, diced pimentos, and prepared gelatin, followed by salt, thyme, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until gelatin has fully melted into sauce and adjust seasonings to taste.
- Shred or dice reserved chicken, discarding skin and bones, then stir into filling. Transfer to a large but shallow container, such as a 9- by 13-inch baking dish, to increase the surface area and speed cooling. Refrigerate, uncovered, stirring from time to time, until no warmer than 50°F (10°C), about 1 hour. If it better suits your schedule, the filling can be covered and refrigerated up to 3 days, or frozen in an airtight container for 3 months.
- To Assemble: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). With a sharp knife, cut 1 sheet of chilled dough into 6 roughly equal squares. Nestle each one into the bottom of a 2-cup-capacity oven-safe dish. Cut 6 "lids" from remaining sheet of pastry with a sharp knife, using an overturned 2-cup baking dish as your guide; alternatively, cut with an appropriately large cookie cutter. Set pastry lids aside and use scraps to patch gaps in coverage along the bottom crusts, all the way to the top edge of each dish.
- Divide filling evenly between dishes, about 1 1/2 cups each (12 ounces; 340g), although the exact amount will vary with the specific amount of vegetables and chicken used. Top each dish with a pastry lid and gently crimp the edges with a fork to seal pastry to bottom crust.
- For the Egg Wash (if using): Whisk egg, cream, and salt in a small bowl. Brush over top crust of each pie in a thin, even layer. This will give the crust a glossy golden sheen.
- Transfer dishes to a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbling-hot, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the filling to thicken and reach a safe temperature to enjoy. Covered in foil, leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated to serve.
