Servings:	6
Author Notes:	Use either white or light meat, or a combination of both, in this pot pie. Top your pot pie with pie crust, as we've done here, or substitute two sheets of puff pastry for a more dramatic presentation. Another option is to layer your favorite biscuit dough (whether from scratch, from a mix, or purchased), dolloped onto the filling just before the pot pie goes into the oven.
Ingredients:	3 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil 1 1/2 cups diced yellow onion 2 teaspoons minced garlic 3 tablespoons flour 3 cups chicken broth salt as needed freshly ground black pepper as needed 1 cup diced carrot 1 cup diced celery 2 cups diced red or Yukon gold potatoes 4 cups diced cooked chicken meat 1 cup green peas, thawed if frozen 2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley 2 puff pastry sheets or 9-inch prepared pie crusts
Instructions:	1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. 2. Heat the butter or oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the onion and sauté, stirring frequently until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until pasty and thick, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, whisking well to work out any lumps. Bring to a boil and them immediately reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until thick, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 3. Add the carrot, celery, and potato and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add the chicken and peas and remove from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped parsley. 4. Spoon the filling into individual crocks or a baking dish. Cut pie crust or puff pastry dough to the approximate size and shape and cover the filling. Cut vents in the crust and press the edges of the dough onto the baking dish or crocks to seal. 5. Bake the pot pie until the pie crust or puff pastry is golden and flaky, about 45 minutes for a large pot pie and 25 minutes for individual crocks. Serve immediately.
