CLASSIC DEEP-DISH CHICKEN POT PIE
Forget mini pie pans and individual crusts. Getting all the flavor and warmth of classic chicken pot pie is even simpler in an all-in-one casserole.

Steps:
- Prepare Pastry, set aside.
- In a large saucepan cook leek, mushrooms, celery, and sweet pepper in hot butter over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in the flour, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add broth and half-and-half all at once. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in chicken and peas. Pour into a 2-quart rectangular baking dish.
- Place pastry over chicken mixture in dish. Turn edges of pastry under; flute to edges of dish. Brush pastry with some of the egg. If desired, place cut-out pastry shapes on top of pastry. Brush again with egg.
- Bake, uncovered, in a 400 degree F oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Let stand for 20 minutes before serving. Makes 6 servings.
- PASTRY TOPPER:.
- In a medium bowl stir together 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in 1/3 cup shortening until dough pieces are pea-size.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cold water over the mixture 1 Tbsp at a time, gently toss with a fork until all dough is moistened.
- Form into a ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 13x9-inch rectangle.
- Using a sharp knife, cut slits in pastry to allow steam to escape, or, if desired, use a small cookie cutter to cut shapes from pastry (I like to wait and do this once it on the pie - makes moving it a lot easier).
CLASSIC DEEP-DISH CHICKEN POT PIE
Forget mini pie pans and individual crusts. Getting all the flavor and warmth of classic chicken pot pie is even simpler in this all-in-one casserole. I've made this using a store bought rotisserie chicken but I like the finished dish so much more made with a chicken slow simmered in broth and seasonings at home. It's much more moist and flavorful.
