How To Make homemade chicken pot pie

• Step 1
  PIE CRUST RECIPE: 3 C. ALL PURPOSE FLOUR 2 STICKS, VERY COLD UNSALTED BUTTER, CUT IN 1-INCH PIECES 1 TSP. SALT 1/2 C. ICE WATER BAKING DISH FOR POT PIE IN FOOD PROCESSOR WITH METAL BLADE, PROCESS FLOUR, BUTTER AND SALT UNTIL MIXTURE IS LIKE COARSE MEAL, ABOUT 8 SECONDS. ADD ICE WATER AND PULSE UNTIL DOUGH BEGINS TO CLUMP TOGETHER. DO NOT LET IT FORM A BALL. PUT DOUGH IN A PLASTIC FOOD STORAGE BAG. WORK THROUGH BAG TO PRESS DOUGH TOGETHER INTO A BALL, THEN FLAT DISC. REFRIGERATE DOUGH FOR AT LEAST 1 HOUR. ROLL DOUGH ON LIGHTLY FLOURED SURFACE TO 1/8 INCH THICKNESS, TO FIT SIZE OF BAKING DISH. PRESS ROLLED DOUGH INTO PLACE IN BAKING DISH, LEAVING 1-INCH OVERHANG BEYOND EDGE OF BAKING DISH; FILL PIE SHELL WITH FILLING, SET ASIDE. ROLL TOP CRUST TO 1/8-INCH THICKNESS. PLACE ON TOP OF FILLED PIE PLATE, ADJUSTING TO FIT. TURN EDGES UNDER, CRIMPING EDGES TOGETHER. CUT VENT HOLES IN TOP OF PIE CRUST. NOTE: SINCE THIS IS A DOUBLE RECIPE I DIVIDED THE DOUGH INTO 2 SEPERATE DISCS, ONE BEING SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN THE OTHER. I USED THE LARGER ONE FOR THE BOTTOM CRUST AND USED THE SMALLER ONE FOR A LATICE TOP.
