YOUR TIME IN THE KITCHEN

Make something good.

01
Start with crust. Combine flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add chilled butter and combine with a pastry blender.
02
Add shortening and combine to cut into flour and butter mixture. Mixture should resemble coarse cornmeal.
03
Slowly add ice water by tablespoons. Mix well after each addition until dough begins to stick together.
04
Place dough on a flat surface and divide into 2 even pieces. Roll into balls, dust lightly with flour and wrap in plastic. Place in fridge for at least an hour.
05
As dough chills, drop chicken tenders into boiling water. Cook until no longer pink inside, approximately 2-4 minutes. Set aside in a small bowl. When cool, tear into pieces–a mixture of large and small.
06
In a deep, wide skillet, melt butter and oil. Add garlic, carrots, celery, onions, potatoes and bay leaves. Cook until carrots have softened a bit but aren’t mushy, approximately 10 minutes.
07
Mix cornstarch and flour into milk. Mix well. Add to cooking vegetables. Toss in peas.
08
Cook until mixture begins to thicken, approximately 8-10 minutes. Stir in remaining herbs, spices, chicken and half of the cheese.
09
Remove bay leaves and take off heat. Allow to cool.
10
As chicken filling cools, take dough out of fridge and roll one ball for bottom half of crust. Drop in 9-inch pie dish and trim edges. Place into fridge as you roll out second piece of dough for top of crust.
11
Pull out crust and pour chicken filling into dish and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Top with top crust and trim edges a bit. Roll top crust edges over bottom crust. Press together all around with a fork. Cut slits into top crust.*
12
Whisk egg and milk together. Brush over top crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown.
13
This is totally a make in advance meal. Let the filling cool completely (pop into the fridge to speed that up and keep crust in fridge as well). Pour filling into bottom crust, top with upper crust, cut slits and keep in fridge until ready to cook. Brush with egg wash and bake.
