Put the stock pot on stove top and simmer, briskly, for about two hours.Īfter two hours, strain stock through a fine mesh strainer to use in the Chicken Pot Pie Recipe.

#CHICKEN POT PIE RECIPE SKIN#
Bake the chicken for about 30 minutes, or until skin is nicely browned. KELLY CA SAYS: I like to use dark meat but you may use white meat, if you prefer.Ģ.

Instead of homemade, you can use canned stock, and the meat of a purchased rotisserie chicken or other cooked chicken, but the results will not be quite as delish. This makes a more flavorful stock than one made with raw chicken. I like to brown the chicken in the oven, before I make the stock. KELLY SAYS: The first step in making homemade chicken pot pie is making a nice rich chicken stock. Makes approximately 4 cups chicken stock and 2 cups chopped and deboned chicken meat STEP I: MAKE THE RICH CHICKEN STOCK AND SEPARATE THE CHICKEN MEAT I solved the problem with most soggy chicken pot pies - I have you to prebake the bottom crust before filling it with my rich and flavorful chicken and veggie packed filling so the bottom crust won't get soggy, and then have you bake it again with a top crust until golden brown!

If the crust is browning too much, cover the top with tin foil so it does not burn. (The baking sheet will prevent any spills from falling to the bottom of your oven.) Check the pie after 15 minutes.
