Chicken pot pie usually requires a major time commitment. Our trusty Dutch oven proved to be the key to an easier way.

I love the new take on this classic. But I did have to chuckle a bit when you said “we are going to streamline chicken pot pie.” Then proceeded to start with a lattice crust. 😂

Traditional Chickey-Pot-Pie is kind of a chore to make. So, let's make a lattice. 😂

My Nana used to make chicken pot pie with a lattice crust, but hers was a buttermilk biscuit dough. So delicious!!

Chasen's, a famous Los Angeles restaurant, use to make chicken pot pies in is ~5" souffle dishes and then had a puff pastry crust rolled over the top and adhered to the top edge with a 1" hole in the center, so the puff pastry was suspended above the liquid. For the chicken base they would put in baby carrots, a baby turnip and some other small version of a vegetable all in a precious presentation. These were served annually at The Huntington Library Fellows dinner every year in the 1980s, so this, at least the baking of the crust, I think, was all performed in tents at the library. Those were the days, my friends.

If I bite into a chicken pot pie and taste asparagus, I’m fighting everybody.

Love the look of the lattice top, but for me the easier, full coverage style is the way.

I’d argue it isn’t a pot pie without a crust on the bottom

Love the tips for forming and baking the lattice. I'm not a fan of asparagus or tarragon, but this is a recipe you can easily adapt. I love the idea of a seafood pot pie with the puff pastry. 😋 Thank you!

I would be thrilled to eat this ... if somebody else made it.

My southern Mama and Grandma are turning over in their graves…I’m not sure what this is, but it isn’t chicken pot pie. lol. However it does look delicious and the puff pastry lattice looks lovely! I’m going to try it.

Wow is all I can say, the puff pastry lattice top is over the top gorgeous. Looks so delicious and inviting. I really enjoyed this video and may just give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

That “pie” needs way more crust to be considered a pot pie. Y’all forget half the crust.

I like new approaches to classic dishes that still honor the dish. This channel continues to offer great ideas for us home cooks.

I could have made ten pie crusts in the time you fiddled with that puff pastry..

[darcyjorgensen]

I would so enjoy that! Don’t need a bottom crust by any means.

[lynnpasteris]

Chicken pot pies are my all time favorite comfort food! I am definitely going to try this!

[katydidiy]

Ok, whose idea was it to use the lid to bake the lattice? You're a genious!❤

This is the most clever recipe and process ever

I love learning a new way of doing standard recipes. Thanks for the suggestions.
