This recipe is fantastic. We make ours in a 9x13 baking pan and cut the puff pastry with small cookie cutters so we get lots and lots of little bits of puff. I've tried this with all manner of vegies and anything works. You can also change the chicken out for turkey and use leftovers from your holiday meal! Any way you make this it's absolutly fantastic.

My wife decided she wanted to try making a chicken pot pie. We gave this recipe a whirl, and were not disappointed. I didn't have curry, so I used cayenne. For the chicken, I roasted 3 chicken breasts that I seasoned with Kosher Salt, fresh ground pepper, a little time, and a light coating of olive oil. I thought the sauce amount was fine. This will become a go-to recipe.
Substantial, tasty and different

The taste of this potpie was very pleasing to the palate. The subtle curry added a gourmet touch. After reading the reviews, I, too, added more milk and slightly more flour. In addition, I added potatoes, but kept the veggies at 2 cups, including the potatoes. I added more chicken, as well. I think it would be delightful with various veggies. I used whole wheat flour for the thickening. It was a hit with my family and my friends. I'll definitely make this a staple in our diet. I do want to find whole wheat puff pastry if there is such a thing.

This is the best chicken pot pie I have ever eaten. Roasting the frozen veggies makes all the difference. I agree with other reviews that it didn't have a lot of sauce, could have used a little more chicken. The curry was so subtle that I didn't even taste it. But it didn't matter, it was so good.
delicious!

this recipe was excellent. added some extra liquid per some of the other reviewers and the broth was great. the roasting portion is not necessary. i used frozen peas and just added them to the mixture when mentioned (rather than preroasting them) and they cooked perfectly. used fresh carrots and sauted them covered for a few minutes. even if they were frozen, probably could have just tossed them in as well, without roasting them. baking took about 15 min. longer but i think that had to do with the pastry dough which took a little longer to brown.

This recipe is rather simple, but produces great results. The dry heat of the oven makes the veggies taste far better than in comparable casserole I've ever had. Kudos to the Good Eats crew for coming up with this one!

i omitted the celery and parsley because i didn't have any at home and added potatoe for a heartier meal. it is a great way to use up leftover thanksgiving turkey. i placed the filling in 9 ramkins and used puff pastry w/ egg wash. after baking, these beautiful little individual pot of pies. my husband and toddler loved it. i would definitely make it again.

We liked this recipe very much and it was very easy to make. The curry added a wonderful flavor. I also added some fresh thyme and it worked very well. My only mistake was not rolling out the puff pastry thinner before placing on top of the dish. There wasn't much instruction in the recipe regarding the pastry. My circles were too thick and were a bit too doughy on the bottom (though the tops were nicely puffed).
Delicious and easy

I'm a busy Mom of two with one on the way - this is the first real dish I've cooked in months. I doubled the milk, added a bit more chicken and didn't remember to thaw the puff pastry (am I supposed too?)- I just threw three frozen pieces on top. Came out perfect. Easy, wonderful comfort food, yummy. My husband could've eaten the whole thing, my three year old ate it too, five year old is too picky, but hey...I'm just sorry they're aren't any leftovers. Thanks to A. Brown!

This was very tasty. The only thing I would change, as another reviewer mentioned, is to make more of the sauce/liquid. It does require a lot of pans-sheet pan, saucepan, saute pan, and baking dish, but it's worth it. I'm not sure if you really need to roast the veggies beforehand. I think it might work to just thaw them and heat them with the sauce. Might make it less dry, too.

This is the first pot pie I've ever attempted, and we were very pleased with the results. Next time I will add a bit more curry, just to give it more kick! I also am going to use fresh veggies and potatoes as opposed to the frozen. But all in all, this is an easy, delicious dinner!

I have been on a comfort food kick lately, and wanted a really good pot pie. Since frozen obviously wouldn't be that great, I decided to make my own (for the first time). This one seemed like a perfect one to try as I've wanted to try one of Alton's recipes for a while. Based on the reviews here, and personal preference, I did make a few adjustments to the recipe. I cut the peas and carrots in half and added cooked, diced potato, a little extra chicken, and a couple of minced garlic cloves. I also doubled the liquid (and therefore, obviously, the butter and flour). This recipe was so good! I didn't think my mom or my son would ever stop eating it! The flavor of the curry was a nice touch, especially since it is so mild in this recipe. You do use a lot of pots/pans, but anything that allows me to get that many veggies into a toddler at one time is worth it to me. With the remainder of fall and a long winter ahead of us, I will definitely be making this recipe many more times.
Yummy

My boyfriend and I decided to try this recipe---both of us had never made pot pie before. We are glad we did because this pot pie was easy to make and very tasty! We were a bit concerned about the curry--and thought that it might be too overwhelming a flavor, so we opted to only use half the recommendation in the recipe. In retrospect that was a mistake--the pot pie was good, but could've used the entire amount of curry powder recommended. A great recipe!!
So good!!

We were skeptical, and even messed up a few times while doing this recipe, and it came out *great*. We were barely able to save some of it for dinner tomorrow! If you don't have chicken broth then a chicken bouillon cube works if you leave out the salt. We also added corn. And used an 8-by-8 Pyrex baking dish.
Heavenly!

User: Katherine from Kansas City, MO User Rating:
My mother used to make a homemade chicken pot pie with lard biscuits, & I found myself craving a lower-maintenance version. This recipe fit the bill perfectly. I made a few additions that really worked well. I roasted diced red potatoes (3 medium, peeled) along with the frozen vegetables & made 1 & 1/2 sauce recipes to ensure enough sauce for the extra veg. Instead of topping the pie with puff pastry, I made Tyler Florence's "Better Buttermilk Biscuits" (doubled that to get enough)& used those. This caused an increase in the cooking time to get the biscuits cooked (close to 30 minutes extra). All the extra sauce got absorbed into the biscuits or caramelized on the bottom (thank God for cooking spray!). The vegetables were still individual & moist, not an overcooked mush. The biscuits were perfectly done & no hint of sogginess from sitting on the filling. Even my pickiest eaters were excited. Definitely going to be making this one often. (Sorry, Mom!)

The man 'doth know of what he speaks'. Alton has a real winner here in this recipe. I used to abhore the lowly pot-pie, especially in its tasteless store bought variety. This has made a believer out of not only myself, but, my entire family. Teenagers loved it and husband gave it a 'very good' rating as opposed to his usual ratings of 'it's okay'. [My husband is an avid AB fan and the science lessons are given high 'cuddos' from the kids.] I did add extra milk [about 1 1/2 cups] to the mix and additional veggies I had on hand. By adding red bell pepper, mushrooms and diced potatoes, it gave it even more volume and the red peppers gave it the beautiful color for presentation. All of these were sauteed along with the celery and onions. I also brushed on some beaten egg to the pastry to give it that beautiful golden, shiny look. The curry is a wonderful addition and just the right amount to give a whisper of a hint but not enough to overwhelm the dish. Keep up the great work Alton and all at FN.

This is such an easy recipe and it tastes AWESOME. The puff pastry on top is way better than a traditional pot pie crust, and it has a lot more veggies, so it's not so fattening feeling.

User: ANNE from ann arbor, MI User Rating:
I've made some adjustments to the recipe each time I made it thus far, but even following it as is, you will still get to eat a yummy pot pie! My main thing has been to up the liquid content - once you cook 2 cups down a little to thicken it, it is barely enough to cover 4 cups veggies plus 2 cups chicken. Add at least another cup of liquids (stock/milk) to make this go further. Also, if you don't have puff pastry (or don't like working with it), a can of store-bough crescent roll dough worked well for me on top.
very tasty

Over weekend, roasted a turkey and had leftovers. Was seeking a recipe that was different, yet comforting now that there appears to be a chill in the air! This one absolutely fit the bill! I usually make the recipe the first time as the author states, then make adjustments after reviewing the original recipe. The curry addition although seemingly "unusual" was a great spice that melted into the other spices perfectly. The liquid was ok, so didn't add any more then recipe called for, and wasn't to dry or watery. Next time, might try to biscuit change, but other then that, it was perfect! Thanks AB!
What leftovers?

User: PAULA from Los Angeles, CA User Rating:
As per some suggestions, I to used low-fat milk, adding about ? cup more than the recipe called. For the roasted veggies I used frozen peas, frozen roasted corn (from Trader Joe?s) and added one peeled and diced russet potato. I topped off the puff pastry crust with a simple egg wash for a glossy presentation. Although this recipe uses lots of pots and pans for preparation it was well worth the effort. It came out with hearty chunks of vegetables and chicken, nicely coated with a creamy hit-of-curry sauce, and a beautiful crusty topping that added just the right texture to the stew. No leftovers on this one!
Best Pot Pie Recipe I've Ever Made
09/14/2007 at 05:39pm
User: Christine from Scottsdale, AZ User Rating:
I loved this pot pie recipe, and I've made a few in the past. I did make a few alterations, some my own, some taken from other raters. First, I made it vegetarian by subbing seitan for the chicken. I also used vegetable stock for the chix broth. I know Alton would hate me, but I added fat-free half and half instead of milk (and used light butter) and probably doubled the curry seasoning to go with the increased amount of sauce (per others' suggestions). Finally, like some raters tried, I added chopped potatoes (specifically the golden variety, like Yukon golds). I roasted the spuds for a few minutes before I added the frozen veggies to the pan. One tip I tried from another rater, but wish I hadn't, was to put an egg wash on top of the puff pastry--the pastry did not puff! I will skip that next time. I will definitely make this again and recommend it to others!

It was a little more complicated than it sounds. Be sure to finish all your prep work fisrt so it takes less time. But this is a very healthy dish consisting of lots of fiber. It didn't come across as your traditional chicken pot pie. I think of them as having more of a soupy gravey consistancy. P.s. i don't think this will impress the neighbors but it is a nice healthy family meal.

User: Katie from Morgantown, WV User Rating:
This is a really good recipe and honestly it couldn't be simpler. I roasted some skin-on diced Yukon Golds along with the veg med and that was a nice addition. Used skim milk to no bad effect. Also subbed veg stock for the chicken stock, as I prefer the flavor of vegetable stock. I rolled out my puff pastry b/c Alton did that on the show, and as a result it didn't exactly puff. I don't remember if his puffed high on the show or not. Anyway, there were a few spots where the pastry remained slightly gummy, I think where the gravy bubbled up over top of it. Next time I won't roll it out, maybe it'll puff better. I added mushrooms to mine, too, just because I love mushrooms. Would definitely make again. Great leftovers.

Why Frozen ???
07/20/2007 at 10:10pm
User: Anonymous User Rating:
I think that using fresh vegetables is primary over frozen or canned. Roasting method is a good idea.. but a poor substitute for roasted fresh carrots. Many veggies can be put up and away in freezer for year round use; when they come in season. Often Alton over uses gadgetry and has too many methods/steps to what would be simple. I do admire his work in general.

The only chicken pot pies (before this one) I've ever had were pre-made and frozen, bought from a store, or at a restaurant. This one is the best I've ever tasted! I love the curry idea! I don't know if it's a unique thing to do to chicken pot pie, but the recipe certainly was very good! We used a rotisserie chicken (store-bought), though, that may have been too seasoned and so the pie came out a little salty, but I'm sure that can be fixed!

This is recipe is very flavorful and easy to make. However, my husband and I thought it was dry. We will definatly make this again, but we will have to tinker with the recipe to make it more moist.
So good!

this recipe tasted wonderful, and you can adjust the veggies to your own taste. im embarassed to say that the first time i made it, there was no puff pastry dough in my supermarket. (i live in a very small town) so i tried phyllo dough. DO NOT DO IT. haha. did not work well. puff pastry did very well. haha
Not bad

I left out the curry powder because I wanted the taste of a traditional pot pie. It tasted great, but I would have liked more sauce so I think next time I would decrease the frozen vegetables by at least a cup. I also think I would make the pieces of pastry smaller and put more of them on.
Soooo good!

Very very good. The family loved it and had seconds and third helpings. The crust is the only issue. I tried cresents on top which is ok but everyone wanted more crust so next time I'm going to cook up the filling and bake grands in the oven and serve over the bisquits. Yummmmmmm!
No leftovers here!!

This is an awesome recipe--the ultimate comfort food! I was looking for a good pot pie recipe for my leftover ham, and it tastedjust as good as it did with chicken. If you are out of puff pastry, a can of biscuits works just as well--just flatten them a bit. The roasting of the veggies make a world of difference. Thank you Alton, once again!!!
Excellent!

I'm currently on weight watchers and this is the first really good pot pie recipe I've found. If you use 1 T of oil on the veggies and 2 T butter (and skim milk), dividing the pie into 6 equals 6 points per serving. And it was really good! I didn't miss the pie dough at all. The flavors in the filling were amazing.
Pretty Good!

As a huge fan of curry, I thought this would be a nice change of pace from the regular chicken pot pie I usually make, and true to his record, AB still has not let me down. Everything that I try of his is always flavourful and delicious, and this is no exception. Could do with a little more sauce, so plan on adding about 50% more than the recipe says. Outstanding!

A while back I had just started trying to cook and invited friends over to try my cooking. I heard jokes about my cooking for weeks. The next time we had a pot luck I brought this pot pie and there were raves. No longer do they say I can't cook. This is a great recipe! Thanks AB!

Absolutely delicious! I roasted the veggies - used combo of frozen peas, carrots, green & lima beans, corn - and increased the chicken broth by 1/2 cup. I used reduced fat crescent roll dough for crust. Had we not used some restraint, my husband & I might've eaten the whole pot pie in one sitting.

My family loves the recipe. The roasted veggies are so easy and really add flavor. The curry is subtle but takes the recipe up a notch and makes it "gourmet". I typically make a classic pot pie with two crusts, but will try the puffed pastry next time. This dish has erased all the bad memories my husband has of frozen pot pies and he really looks forward to this dish.
Yummy!!

I followed the recipe except for the addition of roasted garlic and 1/2 cup more milk & chicken broth. The leftovers tasted even better. It gave the flavors more time to meld together!

This was the perfect comfort food for a Minnesota winter night. Instead of one big baking dish, I made individual servings in large ramekin-style oven-safe bowls, and topped each with a circle of the puff pastry. Also, if you really want to impress, add some saffron wisps to the filling - it goes great with the curry!
easy enough for tired me

This is the best pot pie recipe that my wife and I have ever made!!! The recipe could use to be refined a little more as far as the specifics of the size of the baking pan/terra cotta container and the size or placement of the puff pastry circles, but a suitable arrangement is easy to figure out, or one can watch the show! The roasting of the peas and carrots in the oven is a great way to concentrate the flavors. In our household, we roast many vegetables as they are more flavorful. The addition of red bell pepper for color as one reviewer suggested seems like a nice touch. Brining a whole turkey or chicken prior to roasting yields the juiciest meat. Dark meat is more flavorful than white, but either works well. Pot pie recipes most probably arose from a need to use leftovers. We found the amount of sauce to be perfect. We tire of pot pies which are swimming in sauce. This recipe provided just the right amount of sauce to keep it moist and allow one to eat it with a fork! Next time we will try it in individual ramekins with a decorative puff pastry crust one the top.
Excellent recipe - but the puff pastry won't puff!

We love this recipe and have made it several times. The only problem is that the puff pastry won't puff up all the way. Not sure what's happening, since we also bake the extra rounds on a cookie sheet in the oven with the pot pie, and those puff up nicely!
Better With Biscut Top!

I've made this recipe five times now, adjusting it to my preferences. It's now a permanent member of my cooking repertiore, and gets raves at pot luck dinners. The changes?...I use brined, oven roasted thighs for the chicken. I use half-a-cup more broth (home made, of course). And I top the pie with one recipe of Shirley O. Corriher's "Touch of Grace Biscuits" brushed with melted butter to make them GBD. Yum.

As other users did, I added more milk and stock and would probably add even more next time (I added about 1 cup of extra liquid and I would say go for 2). I also sauteed mushrooms with the celery and onion. Before I added the roasted veggies and the chicken, the mixture I had in my pot would've made the greatest soup! There is a restaurant here in Austin that makes mushroom curry soup and it was like that but so much better! Can't wait to try this recipe again and stop there.

I modified the second time, which adds some prep time, but makes it even better. I chopped fresh carrots (3) potatoes (1), celery (3 stalks), onions (1), and garlic. Toss the veggies with olive oil in a large bowl. Roast at 400 deg. for about 20 minutes. When they start to get golden brown, take about a cup of the veggies and saute them in a pan. Proceed with the recipe, adding the flour, curry, then combining the liquids. This makes it a little more hearty. Enjoy!

The veg took longer than I thought, mostly b/c I was nervous and keep peeking (I know, I know...) Sorry A.B. - I should know better ;-) Using the advise of some of the previous reviews, I upped the broth to 2c & kept milk at .5c to add more liquid. I LOVE curry, so I added a bit more. I actually won't do that next time - I think the dish needs the curry 'yum' factor and too much actually takes away from the dish. All in all? Turned out fab! Next time I'll use more puff pastry on top. ( I got all fancy w/ cut out shapes and left too much "white space" - but it IS fun to experiment & gives me the excuse to make it again - as if the yummy-ness wasn't excuse enough.)

This was pretty good and very easy to make, for sure. I didn't bother doing the veggies in the oven for very long, once they were thawed I tossed them with the sauce. I also used a regular pie crust on top, it was just fine. I used a 9 by 13 pan , filled it right up. An easy way to get your veggies and have lots of leftovers too!
