How can it have a higher crust to ratio when it has no pastry underneath??? o_O NO! The correct way to cook this pie is to place pastry in the bottom of a pan, and bake it. Remove the pan, fil it with chicken pie goodness, and then place pasty on top. THAT is as chicken pie. None of this pot garbage! What John presents here is just HALF A CHOOKEN PIE!
As someone who has worked in a kitchen , the towel rule is a good thing, not only for your co workers but yourself. Many times I've told myself, "I won't forget that pan, I'm not a f#@%ing idiot." And 20 seconds later, I'm screaming obscenities after full-on grabbing the pan I forgot was hot, because I am, in fact, a f#@%ing idiot.
As a former professional cook, I know the pain and I’m pretty sure we’ve all had that realization at some point in our careers. For me it’s happened several times both due to the aforementioned pan handles, as well as other idiotic mistakes I’ve made over the years. EDIT: I just realized those two sentences rhyme with each other, “I’m a poet and I didn’t even realize it” 😉
Never before have I cooked something that turned out exactly as it should! The only thing was, rather than go to the store for just fresh celery. I substituted all the extra added veggies with frozen ones only to imagine one of Chef John saying something like "...use whatever veggies you have on hand! You after all the Dwight Schrute of your veggies and roots." Which made me feel better about the decision. Thank you Chef John for always being a trusted friend and mentor in the kitchen!
I've watched a million of Chef John's recipes and this video in particular feels like such a quintessential one. The "around the outside" line; the punny rhyming couplet; the copious use of butter, cayenne, and the freshly ground pepper; and, of course, the highly inventive, yet delicious twist on a traditional classic. All of these are such touchstones of this channel's unique style, content and charm. That consistency is such a wonderful, much needed respite from the crazy world we live in these days.
I made this by reducing it for longer than I normally would and then putting puff pastry on top of it and baking it at 425 for 12 minutes. It was absolutely fantastic! I prepared it for a chef and he was blown away.
I stopprd watching this chan for about two years, this was the first vid to watch after te brake. The moment he said it, in my mind I was already on a loop, knowing he'll follow shortly :))
I had no idea this was such a new video. I made this last night. It was freaking awesome, comforting, and extremely satisfying. The husband ORDERED me to make it again in the future. Definitely a recipe treasure. 👍👍👍👍👍
This will be made as soon as the weather cools off here. Simply amazing to watch this come together. I loved that you used chicken thigh. So much flavor.
I’m going to make this, but with a bottom crust. I’m a HUGE fan of the crust, so I like to make a pot pie with a bottom crust like a regular pie. It’ll dirty two pans instead of one, but that’s still better than the way I usually do it. I also usually omit the peas in lieu of a little spinach and home grown and canned cut Italian flat beans, just because I don’t really think peas add a whole lot (I’m not wild about peas as a general rule) and I LOVE spinach and green beans.
This looks delicious! Chicken pot pie is an all-time fave of mine. I remember when I was a kid, the store bought chicken pot pies’ crust was a 2 layer pie crust, the filling was enclosed inside the crust. It was so delicious!!! Then, that changed to where there was only a top layer crust. Was I disappointed! Loved the crust a lot!
There is an interesting of doing a "pan pie" with two crusts without getting a soggy bottom crust (without blind baking... it's a hassle) : you put the bottom crust in the pan, and then you put the pan on the stovetop mid-high heat, and brown the bottom. After that you add the filling, the top crust and finish it in the oven as usual. Much simpler and... much more crust overall!
@@audetnicolas that is an interesting method, me, I was just going to blind bake (which to me is no hassle at all) but I would try this method and see .
this was SO good, I wish I would have made double! We used a 12'' cast iron pan, and more than half was eaten by my husband and toddler. I doubled the veggies and added a frozen bag of mixed vegetables...I used some of it on DAY 1 with rice because I didn't read the 90 minute minimum crust recipe first...first timer here :) So I finished on DAY 2 and it was AMAZING. Now I know for next time and it was totally worth it as it was super easy to do. Another win for Chef John!
Dairy free and potato free pot pie! Yay! I love pot pie but can't do dairy or nightshades so I haven't had any in ages. My husband made this tonight and it is so dang good! The crust? :chef's kiss:
I am loving your recipes as of late…your passion and humor are really coming through. Could watch the behind the recipes all night long! Thank you for the great content
😯Chef John, you really went wiild today and out done yourself! 😊👌🏿 Im going into my kitchen now and ATTEMPT to make this pan of delicious comfort for tonights supper! thank you..🙏🏿
I’m making this right now, it’s in the oven, though my pie butter crust didn’t turn out in one piece because I don’t have a food processor and my pie crust making skills suck 😂 I’m sure it’ll taste delicious regardless, cuz that filling alone was divine when I taste tested it Edit: make this! So good and more simple then you think, just prepare your crust and ingredients ahead of time. Then it’ll be a snap
YEEEEESSS!!! I’ve been waiting YEARS for Chef John to do this type of recipe!!! 💕💕💕😍😍😍 Thank you so much, Chef!!! You are the absolute best!! ♥️♥️ Love from Perú 🇵🇪
I discovered the one pan pot pie a while back. It's shocking what a difference it makes to eliminate the added pan - it may seem like one less pan is no huge deal, but it made all the difference for me. I started making pot pies regularly.
HOT DAMN... I can't wait to make this. A couple of changes for my version: Subtract celery, add mushrooms. After the broth is added, stir in a heaping tablespoon of marmite. And lastly, take the dough scraps and make a 2D image of a chicken on the pie.
That peas for mushrooms is exactly what I was thinking. Does the Marmite make it a lot saltier? The one time I recall trying Marmite I seem to recall it being very salty.
Now thats a CHICKEN POT PIE ! We made it for dinner and it came out perfect. Thank you !!!! I will NEVER make it any other way other then this way. If I could leave a LOVE IT rating I would. Again thanks!!!!
I will be making this as soon as we get our first cold snap. Unfortunately, I live in Savannah, GA.... which means I'm looking at late November... hopefully
I started using Tyler Florence's buttermilk chive dumpling recipe for pot pie topping, it poofs up like a soufflé in the oven and thickens the sauce because you're putting a thick batter on top.
7:09 besides: -never let the food win -first we make them wet then we make them dry then we make them wet -wet hands make smooth balls -hot roux cold milk no lumps -you are the boss of your sauce -take a size and stick with it -a hollandaise can sense fear -you dont wanna buy your food in the same places where you buy your tires -regarding eggplants: dots not slots -fork dont lie
I just got done making this and it is the best chicken pot pie I have ever had. I really liked the touch of cayenne pepper. It adds a new dimension to the dish that I wouldn’t normally expect in a chicken pot pie. The only problem I had was I could not deglaze my stainless steel pan for whatever reason. It’s going to suck to clean that off later but oh well. This is going to me a regular meal for me
Happy Canada Day to you and your family; I bet this would work great with turkey, so you have time to make it with chicken in case that is what you are going to eat. I think I will try it with turkey as it is coming up on that time of year.
I love your voice and your explanations I love your story of cooking and you are such a good cook thank you very much I love chicken pot pie chicken pan pie yes
I am going to have to try this tonight. My homemade Chicken Pot Pie is a family favorite, but I do have a few more steps. So seeing that I have thawed puff pastry in the fridge and it's just hubby and I tonight, I'm gonna give it whirl. Thanks Chef John!
I made this and it was perfect. A little leakage on top but no less delicious! The crust to filling ratio was perfect, I reduced mine a lot as well, didn't feel like a bottom crust was necessary.
As someone who has stupidly grabbed a hot pan handle that came out of the oven while multitasking in the kitchen, definitely put the towel on the handle to remind yourself and others that it’s still hot! Despite the snarky posted comment on here, that is not a ‘dumbing it down’ idea. It’s a safety issue especially in kitchens where more than one person is working.
I once burnt the palm of my hand on a hot handle (friend's pan) . Also tried to douse a flaming frying pan under the cold water tap. Luckily I was standing back. Ya need rules.
I made this for dinner last night. The taste was absolutely delicious. It was a bit loose though and I even added more chicken & veggies than called for. I did allow it to reduce for well over 5 minutes as well…hmmm🤔
It does look truly delicious and comforting. I'd also add some tarragon with the thyme, as it's such a wonderful herb that's a wonderful partner to chicken.
Love to watch your video's tried many of them. But living in Lancaster County Pa. growing up on chicken pot pie and 69 years later still love it. But you should look up the Pa Dutch real version of Chicken Pot pie, it's a lot of work but worth it. Your making chicken pie.
I am a huge fan of the higher crust to filling ratio, as well as the words "succulent" and "pastry."
Same here!!
Me too!! Like chicken n’ dumplings….I call it dumplings with a couple bites of chicken…💁🏼♀️
Aren’t we all.
Fully agree.
How can it have a higher crust to ratio when it has no pastry underneath??? o_O
NO! The correct way to cook this pie is to place pastry in the bottom of a pan, and bake it. Remove the pan, fil it with chicken pie goodness, and then place pasty on top.

Ouch ouchie ouch! Yep I have done the exact same thing so I guess that makes me a fellow idiot :) Cheers!
Raises hand. I've done this too.
As a home cook and certified klutz, I feel this.
Never before have I cooked something that turned out exactly as it should! The only thing was, rather than go to the store for just fresh celery. I substituted all the extra added veggies with frozen ones only to imagine one of Chef John saying something like "...use whatever veggies you have on hand!

its the first time I've ever thought "when is he going to put a touch of cayenne in a dessert??"
Amen!
I made this by reducing it for longer than I normally would and then putting puff pastry on top of it and baking it at 425 for 12 minutes. It was absolutely fantastic! I prepared it for a chef and he was blown away.
Crescent dough pastry would work just fine too. I have used it for a steak and veggie pot pie many times, and it's just so easy
Chef John is one of those rare people I wish could live forever and keep spreading the inspiration and joy of cooking.
I love how Chef Jon doesn’t just take a bite. He always enjoys his creations. 😋
But this time he seemed to forget about us and just continued eating.
The browning on those splatters of sauce from the venting hole is gorgeous, reason enough to make a hole on its own
As soon as you said the first 'round the outside, I KNEW you'd follow through! Was not disappointed!!
Ha. I just said the same thing! Lol I knew other people thought it too :)
The small pause after the first one… then it came, round the outside twice more. Perfection, hahaha😀
I stopprd watching this chan for about two years, this was the first vid to watch after te brake. The moment he said it, in my mind I was already on a loop, knowing he'll follow shortly :))
I didn't think he would do it until. . .the pause! Good job chef. I'm a fan!
I had no idea this was such a new video. I made this last night. It was freaking awesome, comforting, and extremely satisfying. The husband ORDERED me to make it again in the future. Definitely a recipe treasure. 👍👍👍👍👍
You are the Stephen Fry of your Chicken Pan Pie.
Ha!
but i’m sure Stephen Fry would love this PIE
Feta Cheeezz, you have won the internet! 😂🤣
This will be made as soon as the weather cools off here. Simply amazing to watch this come together. I loved that you used chicken thigh. So much flavor.

Sounds great!!! More crust, the better, especially non-soggy!!!😄 Thank you so much!!!
I like a double crust too and will probably make it and eat the whole thing for lunch and dinner.
@@audetnicolas that is an interesting method, me, I was just going to blind bake (which to me is no hassle at all) but I would try this method and see .
Winner chicken dinner! Whole family helped and we made two. One in a cast iron, the other in a non-stick. Both turned out beautifully! Thanks!
Potatoes and mushrooms, Chef! You rock. Love this. Thank you.
I didn't have fresh mushrooms and used dried porchini, gave great flavor.
Oh yes, taters ,too
We all waited in anticipation after the first "round the outside"...and you didnt disappoint us :)
So true!!!!😂
this was SO good, I wish I would have made double! We used a 12'' cast iron pan, and more than half was eaten by my husband and toddler.

The crimping ain’t easy line had me 💀
Looks like John is using the upper center of the oven now.
Moving up in the world, it seems.
Dairy free and potato free pot pie! Yay! I love pot pie but can't do dairy or nightshades so I haven't had any in ages. My husband made this tonight and it is so dang good! The crust? :chef's kiss:

What a great recipe! Made this for lunch today and my family enjoyed it BIG TIME. Making this again very soon ! Thank you !
Made this tonight. Came out excellent. First time making crust, too! ♥️
I come to the comments looking for people who made the recipe. Thank you.
I’m making this right now, it’s in the oven, though my pie butter crust didn’t turn out in one piece because I don’t have a food processor and my pie crust making skills suck 😂 I’m sure it’ll taste delicious regardless, cuz that filling alone was divine when I taste tested it

I put mushroom and potatoes, plus leave the celery. Id also put peeled and diced broccoli stems if I had them.
Ooh, I love the marmite idea ...
Oh! I love your idea!👍 Except,🤔 I don't know what marmite is. 🤷♀️?
That peas for mushrooms is exactly what I was thinking. Does the Marmite make it a lot saltier? The one time I recall trying Marmite I seem to recall it being very salty.
@@jazcatFL good call - dial back the salt a bit.
Now thats a CHICKEN POT PIE ! We made it for dinner and it came out perfect. Thank you !!!! I will NEVER make it any other way other then this way. If I could leave a LOVE IT rating I would. Again thanks!!!!

I'm in love with the simple goodness.
I am absolutely making this tonight! Yum!❤️
Beautiful and simple. I'll be making this soon as the weather is getting cooler in NH. Perfect for a cold day.
Such calm narration
Great recipe for a cold autumn day, came out great and love your. crust.
Made your chicken pot pie casserole last night...it was
delicious as always~
Thank you Chef John❤👍🙏
Finally made this and oh my god so delicious. Nicely done, Chef!
I have never seen anything that looks half as tasty as that. That color is otherworldy
I made this tonight and it's amazing. Really easy as well.
i always make it this way, but in my braiser. works great and presentation is pretty!

Do whatever you want here, that's just you cookin
^^ quality content
Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious. Chicken was tender and juicy and the sauce was great. Yummy
7:00 Yeah, the hot handle from pulling a pan out of an oven got me once making cornbread. Burns across 4 fingers :(.
Just made this-- totally worth the time and effort! Absolutely spectacular.
I'm hungry now. Great for a winter dish, I shall add to my mix. Thank you Chef, you're the greatest.
There you are...good hearing you again! Another great recipe!!!
Yay! We didn't go around the outside, around the outside, around the outside in forever!

Nah. Boil a little soapy water, it'll wipe clean. That is unless you truly burned it!
What wonderful winter comfort food :)
Just in time for Thanksgiving next Monday! My family isn't a huge fan of turkey so this dish is an amazing treat! Looking forward to it!
Happy Canada Day to you and your family; I bet this would work great with turkey, so you have time to make it with chicken in case that is what you are going to eat. I think I will try it with turkey as it is coming up on that time of year.

Always enjoy learning, snickering and cooking/creating from your videos..knee slappin, lip smackin good time! Thanks for continued goodness!
I do believe that anyone who makes this dish is a winner winner.
Just as tasty as the last meal you made amen been a while since I stop by but nothings better than a food wish by food wishes and all his dishes🍴
I am going to have to try this tonight. My homemade Chicken Pot Pie is a family favorite, but I do have a few more steps. So seeing that I have thawed puff pastry in the fridge and it's just hubby and I tonight, I'm gonna give it whirl. Thanks Chef John!

I love your channel Chef John

Oh, how I missed your voice :) Took a brake for about 2 years from following you. Glad you're doing great and still at it.
Oh my! This looks incredibly delicious!
Wow so happy you posted this! I didnt realize how simple chicken pan pie would be to make! Cant wait to try this!
Stunningly divine! I am drooling💕

I give this guys videos a thumbs up even before it starts. We all know it is going to be a delicious recipe. And we will learn something new

When I get a notification that you have downloaded a video, my happy time begins 📸❣️🍊،♥️🥳😘🥰🤩❤️
This is a great recipe and l have not even made it yet. Looking forward to giving it a try!! Thanks, Chef John!!
I’m making this tonight! Thanks Chef!
Wow...nice recipe Chief!
Thanks for the video.I made this recipe last week before the post. With potatoes and mushrooms
Looks amazing!!!
This looks so fantastic. GET THAT POT, OUTTA HERE!
I love this man ❤️
wow. looks so yummy
Wow looks delicious
You’re the best Chef John
Well, next week, after my shop, this little beauty gets done. It is a frigid 72 degrees here. Time for Chicken Pan Pie!
Godly.
I will try this as soon as I learn of the crust.
Thank you!
Made this tonight for dinner... it was fabulous!
Great work Chef!
This looks wonderful!
Just made this. Absolutely Fire 🔥
Love to watch your video's tried many of them. But living in Lancaster County Pa. growing up on chicken pot pie and 69 years later still love it. But you should look up the Pa Dutch real version of Chicken Pot pie, it's a lot of work but worth it. Your making chicken pie.
You are (after all)
The Charles Dickens
Of your Pie of Chickens!
Love it and I agree...crimping is easy!
I laughed out loud when you mentioned not angering the search engine gods. Beautiful recipe as always. Thanks Chef John.
I had chicken pot pie for dinner. An hour later I'm on TH-cam and Chef John rings the bell.
