Ingredients

4 cups frozen vegetable mix, peas, carrots
1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 package puff pastry

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Toss frozen vegetables with canola oil and spread evenly onto a sheet pan. Place into oven and cook until golden brown.

In a saute pan heat 1 tablespoon of butter and sweat the onion and celery. In another saucepan, heat the broth and milk. Add 2 more tablespoons of butter to the celery mix and cook out the water. Add the flour and curry and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the hot milk mixture and cook until thickened. Add the parsley, salt and pepper. Toss the browned vegetables and the chicken. Pour into a shallow baking pan, or a large terra cotta pot base, lined with foil, and top with 6 to 8 circles of puff pastry. Place into the oven and cook until puff pastry has browned and the mixture is hot and bubbly, about 25 minutes.

Used Crust Instead of Puff Pastry
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was very easy to make and delicious! I was making other pies at the time, so I used AB's pie crust recipe for... this instead of using the puff pastry. The combo was great! But, having crust on both the top and bottom was a little too much. Next time I won't use a double crust; it soaked up too much of the juice.Read more

Excellent variation on usual chicken pot pie
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The flavors were wonderful. I doubled the curry powder and added a diced potato that I browned beforehand. Also, I used pie... dough for the top rather than puff pastry, because it was faster and just as good. I did "brown" the frozen veggies in the oven, but would not do this again. There's no need to, and browning them dries them out. I might also add fresh diced carrots, and frozen peas, not frozen carrots the next time. All in all, a very satisfying dinner on a chilly night!!Read more

Kids bring home friends on nights I make this!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a HUGE hit in my house. I make this (by request) every week the night after baking a chicken. Wife and kids love it... and often bring a guest home to share it with. After making it a few times I have made some tweaks that IMO improve this recipe. 1) I double the liquid and add some more flour to compensate for this. 2) I at least double if not quadruple the curry. 3) I substitute half of the peas and carrots for an equal amount of chopped yellow potato. Boiled then cut into small cubes. I add this as I am thickening the sauce before the chicken goes in. More like a traditional pot pie this way. 4) I cover the entire suface with the pastry sheet. Also, VERY important. Using a steak knife, I poke holes in the pastry about every 2 square inches. This was the key in avoiding a soggy, gooey topping. Anyway, Love Alton and never had a recipe of his not turn out. Read more

Easy and Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I wasn't expecting much, but this turned out great. Using leftover chicken from making pho, I put this recipe together... excluding only the curry because I didn't have any on hand. It's really flavorful. Definitely a winner.Read more

Tip for Puff Pastry
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

A lot of comments have noted their puff pastry didn't puff. When working with it, you have to be careful when cutting it out.... If you cut circles, you can't twist the cutter as you press down. You have to just press straight down or the edges of the pastry layers get pressed together too much and it won't puff (Alton covered this in one of his shows. ;o) ) I'm going to make this, leave off the puff pastry, and serve it with popovers. I'm very excited!Read more
