Рецепт Chicken Pot Pie
Hi All, here comes another easy recipe, my all time favourite - Chicken Pot Pie using some leftover roasted chicken that I've been keeing in my frigerator for 3 days. It's really easy peasy to make this ultimate chicken stew with the light and flaky puff pastry on top. You can also use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or buy some fresh boneless chicken breast or thigh from the market. Remove the skin, season with some salt and pepper then cook the chicken meat in boiling water. Reserve the water as stock and cut the meat in cubes.For other steps of making pot pie, please follow my recipe below.

Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat and fry onion till soft and fragrant.

Gradually add chicken broth (mix with water), stirring constantly until stock thickened. (you may a little more water into it if you find the stock is too thick)
Off heat and add dash of pepper into it and mix well. (add salt to taste if necessarily)
Divide chicken filling among 10 small ramekins.
Brush outside rims of ramekins with some beaten egg.
Prick holes on thawed puff pastry with a fork. Use a round cutter that is slightly bigger than the ramekin and cut thawed puff pastry into 10 pieces. Dust some flour if you find the pastry is too sticky.
Cut a small X in center of each to vent, then place pastry circles on on top of chicken filling.
Use a fork to press down the edges and brush the pastry with beaten egg.
