Crust Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, stirring until a dough forms. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then brown for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces.
Sautéing Vegetables
- In the same skillet, add chopped onion, diced carrots, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Making the Sauce
- Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Gradually pour in chicken broth while stirring, bring to a simmer, and cook until slightly thickened.
Adding Cream and Seasoning
- Stir in heavy cream, chopped chicken, frozen peas, thyme, rosemary, and any additional seasoning. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Assembling the Pot Pie
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Roll out the chilled dough to fit the bottom of a pie pan. Pour the chicken filling inside, roll out a second dough piece for the top, seal edges, and cut slits for steam.
Baking
- Bake the pot pie for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes
Customize the filling with seasonal vegetables or different proteins as per your preferences. Ensure to chill the dough and use cold ingredients for a flaky crust.
