CREAMY AUTUMN‑INSPIRED CHICKEN POT PIE P. 132

A Puff-Pastry Skillet Pie Improvising your own pot pie recipe is very doable; the key is erring on the side of a thicker sauce, knowing the filling will thin while baking under its pastry crust.

ALL PUFFED UP

Making your pot pie look impressive is easy! Simply unroll your dough on a floured surface and cut into triangles or squares. Overlap them slightly, pressing the pieces together gently, then brush the whole thing with egg wash before baking.
