Easy Chicken Pot Pie Recipe
Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food with roots in British cuisine. The dish evolved from savory meat pies that were popular in medieval England. These pies were often made with a variety of meats and vegetables, encased in a pastry crust. Over time, chicken pot pie became a staple in American households, especially during the colder months when hearty, warming meals are most appreciated.

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The key to a flaky crust is to keep the butter cold and not overwork the dough. Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. It should be moist but not sticky. If you add too much water, the dough will be tough. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.
