Thank you for joining me on making my chicken pot pie, which was amazing, but man did I struggle with the crust.

I’ve made homemade crust lots for pies and for my cooking but for some reason, I just couldn’t figure it out and so you’ll see in this video. I had to conquer it so I ended up making an apple pie in the end to show myself that I for sure could make this crust. I refuse to give up.

The chicken pot pie was absolutely amazing. The crust was nice and flaky except a little too flaky so I think I’m going to have to play around with it when it comes to the shortening and maybe reduce the amount of shortening butter ratio. I think the shortening was just too warm and it was melting everything and the crust wasn’t setting up like it should.

Chicken pot pie is one of the most asked for meals when I cook for my kids. And it’s so simple to make.

Chicken pot pie ingredients:
4 pounds of chicken breast
A half a pot of water
Various spices to make your own stock
