Expert Tips for the Best Delicious Coastal Storm Pot Pie

  • For a pro upgrade, try adding a splash of white wine to the broth for added depth of flavor.
  • The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
  • You can make the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to a day before baking.

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 2Make the pie crust by combining flour, salt, black pepper, and thyme in a bowl.
  3. 3Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. 4Gradually add the shortening, stirring with a fork until the mixture forms a crumbly dough.
  5. 5Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times until it comes together.
  6. 6Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk.
  7. 7Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  8. 8In a large skillet, sauté the mixed vegetables, chicken, and ham until the vegetables are tender.
  9. 9Stir in the milk and cook until the mixture is heated through.
  10. 10Roll out one of the chilled pie dough disks to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.

  12. 12Fill the pie crust with the vegetable and meat mixture.
  13. 13Roll out the second pie dough disk to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  14. 14Use this dough to cover the pie and crimp the edges to seal.
