Critical Success Points

  • Poach chicken gently and reserve broth.
  • Keep dough and butter cold during puff pastry lamination.
  • Allow proper resting between turns for puff pastry.
  • Chill both filling and pastry thoroughly before assembly.
  • Bake until pastry is deeply golden and center is bubbling.
  • Let pot pie cool before serving to set filling.

Safety Warnings

  • Filling and skillet will be extremely hot when removed from oven; use oven mitts and let cool before serving.
  • Raw chicken and eggs: Wash hands and surfaces after handling.
