Andrew Carmellinis Chicken Pot Pie
- 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) salted butter
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus some for flouring your work surface
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 chicken legs (about 3 pounds)
- 7 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 5 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 5 small carrots, or 2 to 3 large carrots, peeled and chopped (1 cup)
- 1/2 medium sweet onion, chopped (1 cup)
- 2 medium celery stalks, chopped (1 cup)
- 1/2 pound cremini mushrooms (about 12 mushrooms), stems removed, caps quartered (2 cups)
- 1/2 pound new potatoes, cut into small chunks (1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup fresh peas
- 1 tablespoon chipotle-flavored Tabasco sauce
- 1 egg
- pinch of salt
- pinch of fresh ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small pot on the stove so its just liquified.
- Using a tabletop mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, salt, butter and 1/2 cup water.
- Mix everything together on medium-low speed (#2 on a KitchenAid) for about 2 minutes, until the mixture forms a rough dough.
- If its too crumbly, add a bit more water; if its too wet, add a little more flour.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and use your hands to bring it together into a ball; then flatten it out.
- Knead the dough, pushing it flat with the heels of your hands, forming it back into a circle, turning and flattening it again, until you have a pretty smooth ball.
- Wrap the dough well in plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for at least 8 hours.
- (The dough will hold in the fridge for up to 5 days at this point.)
