My chicken pot pie is the ultimate comfort food. It has lots of nutritious veggies, tender chicken bits, chicken stock, creamy light sauce, and golden puff pastry. I love to finish it with flaky seasoned salt for more texture and crunch. Even though the ingredient list is long, the dish is easy to prepare, and super delicious. Make it!
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Finely chop shallot, garlic, celery, carrots, and mushrooms.
Switch to low heat, push the veggies to the edge of the pan, and melt the remaining tbsp of butter. Add the flour into the butter, stir well, and cook it for about 3 Minutes. Gradually start pouring the chicken stock while mixing very well. You should have a lump free thick mixture.
Pour in milk and mix very well until you have a creamy sauce. Turn heat off.
Add chicken breast pieces, peas, spinach, and lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and Zaatar leaves.
Pour the mixture into your oven dish.
Place puff pastry on top of the baking dish, and slightly pinch its edges in order to seal it. Trim excess pastry. Don't forget to create few slits in the dough to let the steam out. Generously brush the pastry with beaten egg.
Sprinkle flaky salt on the pastry, and bake it in the preheated oven for 30-35 Minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden.
Cool for few minutes before serving. Garnish with rosemary leaves, dig in, and enjoy!
