Double Crusted Chicken Pot Pie
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- Pure comfort in a pie plate. The pastry dough can be made a day or two ahead of time. Rotisserie chicken and frozen vegetables work great for the filling. Ingredients are listed below:
For the crust:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
12 Tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold butter, diced
1/2 cup sour cream
1 large egg, beaten
For the white sauce:
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Grinds of black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
1 teaspoon dried tarragon (or to taste)
2 1/2 cups milk, chicken stock, or a combination of the two
For the chicken and vegetables:
A 10-ounce bag frozen peas and carrots
1/2 to 1 cup diced onion (frozen works great here)
2 cups (or slightly more) cooked, cut up or shredded chicken
For glazing the pastry crust:
1 beaten egg
Bake at 450°F on the lowest oven rack for 18-20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 375°F and continue baking until the pastry colors deep golden-brown -- 12-15 minutes. Allow the pie to cool for at least 45 minutes before serving.

I smile because my mother also said there was too much salt in the small frozen pot pies. She was a nurse and when it came to food, she always wanted us to eat healthy prepared foods. She did break down and purchased four frozen small chicken pot pies which my brother and I shared. After that she served them on a monthly basis. Little did my brother and I know at the time, that when we were at school she would make homemade chicken pot pies and put them in those small foil tin pie plates. We loved them so much and they were so tasty. She had kept the box the original ones came in and put her pot pies in them so we were not aware she made them. My brother commented that they did not always taste the same and she replied. "Honey, not all chickens look alike and because of that they do not taste the same." We never gave it another thought and loved every pot pie she made us. It was when we were about twelve years old she told us the truth about the frozen pot pies she served us when we were younger. I replied to her, "Mom, Bobby and I knew they were not the boughten pies because they always had a small heart of pastry on the center of the pie, but they sure were good to eat." When I think back, it was the size and individual pie that made them so desired by us, and the small tin pie plate. Mom's pies were so much tastier to eat and full of meat and veggies. Mom was the best!
I grew up with A orange and a few walnuts in my shoes for Xmas. But they had to be spiffy clean. You can tell what century I come from in Germany after wwll
Going to give this a try tomorrow Kevin. Hoping it is half as good as yours looks!!
Enjoyed the story about your wise mother not wanting you to have frozen dinners but for Christmas gifting you with frozen pot pies. My mother was a very good basic cook but with four boys would sometimes resort to Swanson TV dinners. We were allowed our own TV tray and would sit in the den and watch TV, while we ate. We all thought it was a big treat. Your chicken pot pie looks delicious. When the weather cools, I will definitely make it. Thanks, Kevin!
Can relate!! Watching "the big show" on TV from 4 to 6pm...while eating on a TV tray: huge treat. It gave me my love of old movies, too
Maybe his Mom made the pot pies and froze them
Hi Kevin, I do hope that you see this comment since this video is a year old. Your channel just popped up on my YT feed a couple of days ago. I subscribed to your channel. I have really enjoyed watching you make cooking look so easy. I also grew up in the 60's and early 70's. Frozen Swanson dinners, Kraft Mac & Cheese, Chef Boyardee canned meatballs over rice, Chung King Chinese food in a can and some others were staples at our house, mainly because my dad was gone most of the time. Mom worked and was tired when she got home. She was still eating all of the microwavable frozen foods when she passed 2 weeks before her 96th birthday in Dec 2015. I think it was the preservatives that kept her going! Just a side note, mom was born in Spokane in 1920. Regards to you, Mr. Fox and your four legged kids! I loved the videos with Binky when you first rescued her. What a cutie. I'm a cat mom and I have adopted from local shelters over the years. Thanks for your enjoyable videos!
Hi Vintage Queen - Thank you so much for subscribing. I remember Chung King (canned) Chinese food!!!
Just one tip. When you make your white sauce or bechamel, cook your flour and butter a bit longer until it "honeycombs", i.e., begins to look slightly crumbly but not so long as to discolour it. This will also ensure a smooth result. Pie looks great. Have you tried chicken, leek and potato with the addition of some ham with top and bottom crust plus bechamel and chopped parsley. Do give it a try. One of these days I will send you my Mediterranean Tart recipe which I actually created myself and am a. It proud of. You are such heart lifting person, such change from time hectoring style of so many presenters!
Kevin yes we use worry my mom so much about pot pies and those TV and they ready were not all the good.
I am embarrassed to admit that, yet again, I have turned to Mr. Jacobs for comfort and a sense of well being. Have watched these short videos many times and, as I have mentioned, I come home wanting to feel that life is good and kind and another visit with him seems to do the trick whether it is cooking, gardening, touring his home or planning a dinner. It may seem foolish but so it is. Discovered him late 2022 and I can see that his tutorials will be a big part of 2023 no matter how many times I watch him roll out the dough! Many thanks.
Hello Kevin, Yes, I loved those Chicken Pot pies from Swanson also. But Kevin, I am 80 years old now so you are still a youngun and love how you taught us this recipe for making at home. So much healthier and much cleaner cause we never know how those Factories make them now. God Bless You Kevin and Mr. Fox.
I was a kid in the early70's. My mother was a gourmet cook. No junk food or fast food. But if she had an evening out with my father we got to have a frozen tv dinner as she had no time to cook. Boy did me and my brother love that! We wished my parents would go out more often!
Kevin, you just revealed that you are the same age as my sons. You are a son that would make a Mother proud., as i am sure your Mother is delighted with your accomplishments.💕 . Yes, we had no microwave ovens back in the ‘60’s and 70’s, hard to believe, but true. The nice thing about those little pot pies was that the crust puffed up goden brown in the oven and the kitchen smelled delicious.. You just can’t get that crust in the microwave. I have to admit that those frozen pies and frozen family size pans of beef and gravy etc were a real help to me, raising a family and working full time.However, nothing can substitute for real home cooking. Your double crust chcken pot pie is just Fabulous. I learned something new with your crust recipe, Thank You so very much for sharing.
Child of the 60's - 70's as well. Frozen chicken pot pie for dinner meant our parents were going out and a babysitter was coming over to watch us. Your pie looks much more enticing. Will have to give it a try.
Making this a.m. for a “Last Summer Brunch” here on Adams Lake, LaGrange Indiana.
Most dear thanks Kevin for all your efforts to keep life real!
You
Are
Treasured!
I love when tell stories about your life.
Thanks!!!
Greetings from Spain
That pie looks scrumptious. I am loving how you make the crust; Kevin, you are The Dough Whisperer !
You were an easy child...this comment made me laugh out loud as I think of what kids ask for nowadays. My mom is a terrific cook but my dad just loved getting these as treats as frozen foods were such a novelty.
I love your pot pie Christmas story! Thank you. Your mom was thoughtful to you. Child of the 60s here, my mom, also, never would hear of fast food or frozen meals. But when I'd go to Seattle to visit my grandma she made me feel so special when she'd ask what I wanted for dinner! We'd walk to MarketBasket by Empire Way (now, Martin Luther King Jr Way) and she'd buy chicken pot pies (2!) for me, and some Archie comic books. We'd walk home and cook dinner and I thought I'd die from happiness☺️when I cracked into the crust and enjoyed my own pot pie. Seriously, it is such a fond and vivid memory of my grandma and a bit of my food nostalgia. Thank you for your channel and your stories 😊.
I'm addicted to your channel. Thanks for the amazing content and all of the time, effort and money it takes to provide such a value to a platform where quality is rarely the goal. One day I would love to make the trip to enjoy an afternoon tea or stroll through your beautiful gardens. Thanks again.
Again thank you for another wonderful recipe, never apologized for being long, we love every minute spent with you ❤️
Oh, Kevin! I have just found your channel and I'm enjoying all your videos so much! Your story about the frozen pot pie really reminded me of my childhood. I had a stay at home mom who was a wonderful cook and fabulous baker. There were 7 of us kids in the family. I too was influenced by watching commercials. We would ask mom for pot pies, tv dinners,
And frozen waffles. She and dad would say no those frozen things aren't as good as mom's cooking. Our older brother was working and would give us a quarter for an A on our report cards. We went to the grocery store and just had to buy those things for ourselves. We found out that mom and dad were right when we ate those frozen foods we bought. I never realized what a lucky kid I was tp have such a great mom!
One thing I like about this pot pie is that there is more crust on the top and the sides. When it comes to pie I prefer more crust.
Perfection! AND none of the nasty additives and preservatives in a store bought one!💯💯💯
Child of the 50's, & yes, Swanson TV dinners were a big deal for us kids. My younger brother ate 2 at a time LOL. We rejected frozen chicken pot 🥧 pies, but I guarantee the whole family would love this version.
😊 Thanks, Kevin, looks scrumptious.
Can't watch this now, but you absolutely had me at double crust. I'm always disappointed when I dig in to someone's (or a restaurants') that only has the crust on top.
When Mom went to shop for groceries on Fridays after work, we always had chicken pot pie, because she didn't have time to cook dinner.. Honestly it was my favorite meal of the week! And I love that you didn't have to pre-bake your crust because you put it in at 450 and then lowered the temperature. What a great idea!
This looks delicious. I love a silicone brush.
Your pie looks amazing. I've just found you on you tube, so I'm watching your videos back to back. Love from the uk
I am sick in bed and binge watching your videos. I love the story of your mother. We did have the Swansons chicken pot pie as my mother did not make her own. Occasionally we would have the t.v. dinners....by the t.v. which was rare but very memorable. love the stories, keep them coming and thank you.
My dad never liked TV dinners growing up in th 40's and 50's. But he did like those little pot pies. It was a treat when he made dinner because they were easy and a favorite with my sister and me.
I grew up in the 50s and 60s and we didn't eat many frozen dinners. I never thought they were very good back then, but I admit I did love the pot pies. I didn't get them very often, though. My grandma mostly served home cooking.
This is a pie fit for a king....and also my hubby. He'd love love love to have this for dinner. Wonderful recipe. I don't have a a food processor. Boo hoo
The perfect dinner adding a green salad only, I use to make tuna pie, this is the moment to try your chicken recipe! thanks for sharing, greetings from a rainy S.L.P. México.
I always make double crust pot pie with slightly thinner sauce. Your mom was right about ready made food.
I remember getting those little frozen pies, and as I recall, they weren't horrible. But then, we were so poor we couldn't even afford to pay attention! It didn't take much to please me as a child. I bought them for my son when he was little, too. I was a working single mom, and bought them again when he was a teenager 2004 - 2008. What I noticed is that these little pies have steadily become less and less palatable - first, less meat. Next fewer vegetables. The last time I bought them - Marie Calender's, I think - they were filled more with gravy than much else, and very bland. I will definitely give your recipe a try - It looks SO good! I'll bet my son will really enjoy this, too!
I'm 63 and every Christmas, I'd have a pomegranate, in the tie of my stocking, a good handful of assorted nuts in their shells, a few chocolates and an assortment of cool lil gagets and toys maybe a lil jewelry.
Mmmm that looks doable!!
And .the lemon pudding cakes were divine.
I plan to make those AGAIN!! 🎉
Miam miam.....it makes me hungry!
Greetings from Brittany ❤
We had homemade dinners except for those frozen pot pies. What a delicious treat!
I am thoroughly enjoying your cooking channel… plenty of time nowadays this should give you a chuckle. I come from a deep, southern family and my parents put me on a Swanson TV dinner diet because they felt I was getting a little pudgy…. Crazy times. I am glad to say it didn’t last very long.
Kevin that looks so good! We never had tv dinners growing up. I have a suggestion for your bottom crust, just use an egg white to spread over your uncooked bottom crust. I heard that on recipe tv!
I love your pot pie...it has an ample amount of chicken, which you never get with store bought 😋
OHHHH.......delicious.....will try...by now...with all your gorgous recepies .. I will have to take a week off ..to recreate all..... HAHAHA
The only thing frozen I ever got was ice cream from the good humor man
Love and enjoy watching your channel! Brings me a lot of joy. When I was a child a used to beg for spaghettio’s, still love a can of them from time to time.
Making it this weekend! Thank you! Looks gorgeous; it’s resting now. Need more practice on my fluting technique :). Wish I could send a pic.
Hi Vicky - I'd love to see the picture! If not too late now, you can send pic to my instagram: kevinleejacobs
Hi Kevin, no longer on Instagram.
I remember in the 1950's-1960's having my first Tacos and Pizza.....
What a beautiful pie slice! It’s a carnival on a plate! Thank you for the recipe and demonstration!
Your mother was a good mum not to feed you those sodium filled pies, but weren’t they such a treat!
I love to make my own with loads of filling, mostly veggies!
thank you so much for the new to me piecrust -- will defently try this (i can't spell today)-- i like a bit more on the gravy but not too much --love you vids as always :)
When my parents went out they would buy us Swansons TV dinners. We thought that was such a big deal.
Oh my I can’t wait to try next week.
This looks absolutely delicious can't wait till fall!!!! It went straight to the save file!!! Thank you Kevin another great delicious meal and video!❤️🥂
Hi Kevin…we were “treated” to a Swansons frozen dinners when our parents went out for their rare date. I grew up in the early 60s. We eventually moved from frozen dinners to just the frozen pot pies. I loved those chicken pot pies. When I was old enough to cook on my own, I graduated to homemade pot pies. I still love and make chicken pot pies but they are now made a bit healthier with herbs instead of all the salt. Yummy!!!
Yes! I remember the folks getting dressed up, Mom putting a Swanson frozen Turkey dinner in the oven. I looooved that mushy stuffing!
"Cover your ears" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love so much your videos and your good sense of humour. Thank you so much dear Kevin for this nice recipe. Big Hugs and Happy New Year to you and your family 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Kevin, this video is a year old but i saw a lady on you tube showing pastry brushes that at a time Walmart sold some that may you might like if they still sell them. Don't remember how old her video was. Sorry. But still may be worth looking into. I love my silicone brushes. Wished i lived next door to you. lol, I would be right over there to share a taste of that gorgeous Pie. God Bless Kevin.
Hello, Kevin. I’m new to your channel and have been binge watching every evening. You have such a calming voice (if I may be so bold as to say so). I have a folder with many of your recipes. So far, I’ve made the cabbage pie which was delicious (despite the fact that I’ve always loathed that veggie, probably because growing up in England in the 1950s, I remember the odor of boiled cabbage that Mum cooked ). Is there a cookbook in your future? I’d be first in line to buy it 😊. Thank you for your great, easy to cook recipes. Greetings from Fountain Hills, AZ.
Hello from Taipei,Taiwan👋
Yummo x
You, my friend, are an amazing teacher!! I learn so much by watching ALL of your videos. We love pot pie. I usually use the store bought crust 😔. No more. This looks easy and I bet it’s delicious. When I was growing up, my dad worked turns ( dayturn, afternoon and midnight) at a steel mill in western Pennsylvania. My mom wasn’t much of a cook anyway. In fact she hated it. So when dad was working she would give us frozen pot pies or tv dinners. You were very fortunate to have a sweet mama that cooked for you. Thank you for all of your videos. Could you tell me where you got your measuring spoons? Love that shape. Also, I watched your video on planting seeds in a cleaned out milk gallon container. I planted my spinach. Can’t wait!!
Kevin thanks for the tip on freezing celery ! The celery you used in this recipe looks so fresh . Some people wrap their celery in aluminum foil keep it in the crisper, I don't trust that , because aluminium foil does release some its properties in certain situations . Just take an unshaken pencil and rub it on the aluminium foil , back and forth . You see a transfer to the object ( I think it's the shiny side of the foil ) . I wondered my the celery I would freeze would turn a lighter , almost pale green when frozen . I am going to give your method a try ! Again thanks and say hello to Binky 😸
Mmmmmmm I will have to try this, looks delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the video and recipe! I made something so similar, save I used a store-bought crust and added some corn. I put a tiny bit of dry white wine and some white cheddar to the roux, chicken and vegs. It was a very popular dish at Wed. night Bible study. :D Thank you again for all that you do! Take care and be safe. 🙏🏻😊💖
Thanks, love your style with shortcuts, not many tv chefs will show that. Dinner for tomorrow.
It looks delicious!!!
Lucky the ones who live with you!!!!
That's gorgeous. I'm going to put another 1/2 cup of liquid into my sauce because I want mine a bit juicier.
When I was growing up in late 70s and 80s I dreamed of having Jiffy Pop popcorn, mac & cheese, takeout chinese, and I never tried a Swanson frozen dinner until early 2000! It was the most disgusting saltiest and chemical tasting prepped meal I ever had. So I figured I didn’t miss out. I was 18 the first time I had restaurant chinese food. And 19 the first time I tried Kraft dinners. I was bamboozled by kids commercials back then like Chef Boyardee or cereals. I never had them but at age 19 or 20, I bought a Chef Boyardee just to say I had tried it. It was ok. We would create fried rice versions at home. My mom and I cooked from scratch, and the only treats I recall were Little Debbies swiss rolls, del Montr chocolate pudding in tin cans, and tang orange beverage. She got icecream and made roulade cake to stuff it with the icecream and it seemed like she always had something to serve up. Cookies were homemade lemon cookies.
I am grateful we had healthy simple food and nothing pre-made. I always felt poor and like I missed out but we never did.
Oh! also shake and bake looked cool but I never ever tried it cuz I always made my own.
The first time I had chicken pot pie was because I made it. We never had them premade until I was an adult. Home made are the best. I will try THIS crust next time! Will look for the recipe.
Love your videos and recipes and elegant tables. I love to entertain with formally set tables. Made the double crust pot pie today. Very good.
Awesome recipe, cannot wait to try it

I love the childhood story😊~ Tammy
I am glad I ran into this recipe with Bechamel Sauce. I am coming from watching a previous video with another Chicken Pot Pie where you made a cream using corn starch (I will try it as well but I am partial to Bechamel!
I love a good pot pie. I use 7 up for the liquid. The crust is so flaky. I grew up in the same era as you over in Tacoma WA. Our mothers were very much a like. Mine would not buy Swanson's either. I just loved the turkey and gravy frozen meal. No way, no pizza or tacos for the matter, ever!! Poor us, but probably healthier. 😅🦃🐓
Hello my friend i like ve how you go over yur comments your the very best from Lupe in California ❤
BRAVO 😍😍😍
My mother was a great cook no fast food. Later as we got older started to have few pop pies etc hold you over
Specially, if we were going to have a late supper or someone was coming over the weekend dinner or something like this and it was just like a little snack after school or something like that sometimes had to beg her.
Thank you Kevin!!
This looks delicious! Do you ever have a problem getting the bottom crust done without pre cooking it ? I want to try this! Perfect time of year for a cozy pot pie!
The CNN pie looks seriously delicious! Thank you!
You are inspiring me to try my hand at pastry crust again. I’ve always made good cakes and biscuits but pie crust has eluded my skill set. I believe you have the best recipes! Thank you and sending love from Tennessee!
Everything looked so yummy. Could you do some gluten free recipes?
I can't find the recipes. Help. Love your shows.
Oh and we'd start Christmas Eve opening one present from our Mother and exchange gifts with my older sister. Have home made eggnog home made cookies

I am about your age and I too begged my mother a frozen n dinner but mine was frozen t.v. dinner but it was awful .
I chose a chicken dinner and I was soooooo disappointed in the taste.
The pot pies were good .
I love that marble slab. Where does one buy them ?
I purchased the marble board at a kitchen supply store. It was not expensive!
Chiken bun recipe
My children are your age. They’re treat was mc Donald’s, but only French fries, like your mother, we ate better food at home.
Magnifique ❤❤❤🍰🍰🍞☕🐱🐱🐕🦺💐
Kevin, you're lucky your Mom cared about proper nutrition. My mother was the world's worst cook. If she didn't see it on a tv commercial and it came in a box or can we did not get it. She thought actual cooking was frying. I was so happy when I moved out on my own and learned how to actually cook food.
The crust Doesn’t look brown enough…l also loved those terrible frozen pot pies😊
I love this recipe!
Frozen food today is frankenfood. Pure poison.
IMO, the tarragon in pot pie totally ruined the taste (i made your puff pastry pot pie today regretfully). The pie crust in lieu of puff pastry is the only way to go so it's nice to see you've made the change. Yes i prefer a thinner creamier sauce using a roux with milk plus chicken broth. I also say no to egg wash on crust. To each his own. I like to make little individual pot pies like KFC.
Brush? Go to Home Depo and buy the little ten cents paint brushes.
I didn't care for the inexpensive brushes. I got annoyed with them when they shed their bristles on painting projects, but even more so when they shed their pesky hairs on my food.
