As an adult, I want something a little more flavorful and less soggy. This version hits on the nostalgia we’re looking for, but really takes the dish up in terms of flavor and texture. No joke, it’s the best chicken pot pie I’ve ever had and I’m stoked on it.

RECIPE - makes 4-6 individual chicken pot pies (using 14 oz ramekins)
--
CHICKEN
3-4lb or 1.5kg whole chicken
B-MAN’S DRY BRINE SEASONING
15g or 2.5tsp salt
5g 1 t/4tsp sugar
3g or 2tsp poultry seasoning
5g or 1 2/3tsp garlic powder
5g or 2 1/4tsp ground black pepper
Generously season chicken on all sides with B-Man’s Dry Brine Seasoning (recipe above) then refrigerate to cure for 12-24 hours. Slow roast at 285F/140C for 2.5-3hours. Allow chicken to rest for 20-30min.
PIE FILLING
113g or 1 whole stick of unsalted butter
225g or 1 large onion, medium diced
10g or about 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
115g or about 2lrg ribs celery, medium diced
115g or about 2lrg carrot, medium diced
75g or 3/4c leek, diced and rinsed
75g or 3/4c fennel, medium diced
Salt
250g or about 1-1.5 yukon gold potatoes, medium diced
115g or 1/2c all purpose flour
150g or 2/3c dry sherry
900g or about 4c chicken stock (see recipe below)
140g or 1c frozen peas
650g diced chicken (all of the meat from a 3.5-4lb chicken)
Black pepper to taste
1g or 1tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Preheat large heavy-bottomed pot over med high. Add butter then veggies, garlic, large pinch of salt & stir to combine. Sweat for 5-6min. Add potatoes & continue to cook for 3 mins or so. Add flour & stir to coat veg. Continue stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes or until raw edge of flour is cooked off. Add sherry &cook for about a minute then add stock. Stir & reduce heat to med-low. Bring to a simmer, cover & cook 15-20min or until potatoes are tender. Once tender, add peas & chicken. When peas & chicken are heated through, remove from heat & taste for seasoning. I add salt & plenty of pepper.
CHICKEN STOCK
3.5-4lbs or 2kg of chicken backs
3.5lbs or 1 pack of chicken feet
3qt/kg water
Lay chicken backs & feet on sheet tray. Roast at 450C/230F for 25-30min. Add chicken backs, feet, & pan drippings to a slow cooker with water and slowcook for 8 hrs. Strain & refrigerate until ready for use.
PIE CRUST
400g or 2 1/2c all purpose flour
8g or 1 1/2tsp salt
170g or 12Tbsp butter, sliced
85g or 1/3c sour cream
1 egg
Add flour, salt, & butter (sliced) to a food processor. Process for 15 secs or until pebbly. Add sour cream & egg. Process just until dough becomes yellow & starts to look like dough. Flip out onto work surface and gently combine and press into a rectangle. Wrap & refrigerate for 20min.
Slice off a 125g piece of dough, roll into a ball. Flour dough then roll out until it’s approx a ⅛” or 3mm thick round. Place ramekin the dough round and trace around the outside, leaving a couple of cm buffer around the outside.
BUILD AND BAKE:
14oz ramekins
Pot pie filling
Rolled out dough
Egg wash (equal parts egg and cream)
Fill each ramekin most of the way full. Coat rim and sides of rim with egg wash. Top with pie crust round & pinch to adhere to ramekin. Cut slits in top of dough. Brush dough with egg wash. Place ramekins on a sheet tray and bake in preheated 405F/205C oven for 25 minutes. Pies are finished when crust is cooked and golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before eating.

I can feel the immense amount of work you put into the instructional pacing. Both the lifetime long work of reducing ideas to their simplest core elements, and the short-term work of ruthlessly cutting down the video to it's smallest possible size, while still insisting on a full explanation of why your making the choices you are. It comes across in your videos, in a way I have literally never seen before in a cooking video series. The video is all content, there is nearly no waste. Dense, but perfectly pedagogically structured, and with an ease that comes from thoroughly practiced understanding of the material.
I deeply appreciate these videos, and have already made the clam chowder, the 3 loaves 1 Dough bread, and the Brioche Buns. Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks very much for the kind words Caleb. I spend a lot of time on the scripts for these videos so I’m glad it shows. Thanks for watching.
I strongly agree with this comment! Superb instruction and pacing; enjoyable and easy to follow. ❤
Ditto. His humor is the rug that really ties the room together.
I especially like how he fits “Sick, Dope, and less good” into the script, while maintaining a thoroughly instructing video! The stock is on, the chicken is in the fridge!
@@lindasimms7009 Yes, same here! I don't understand the technicalities of producing these videos, but am so appreciative of the well structured, to the point, crisp production😊
Your slow cooker stock method is game-changing.
So much easier than babysitting a stock pot/flame on the stove.
Totally! I don’t think twice about running the stock overnight
Interesting point on the slow cooker vs. pressure cooker stock, I always use pressure to get it done quickly, but maybe I'll try the low and slow next time.
What…you never heard of an oven?
@@BrianLagerstrom What about using a slow cooker? crock pot? I don't have a Instapot!
@@BrianLagerstrom Do you know what temp the slow cooker version gets to? I have a stove-top pressure cooker, (not instant pot) but I think I could slow cook in the oven if I knew the right temperature.
Some people have Chicken noodle soup when they are sick, but my grandma makes me chicken pot pie!
That’s worth getting sick for!
No one gives a shit
Lucky!
This was sooooo good. For anyone wondering, I made a full 9" pie (top crust only) and then had enough filling and crust to build a second pie for the freezer in an 8x8 disposable foil pan.
FYI if you add some dried thyme or dill to the pie dough, you get a huge flavor boost. My fam is in love with the herb-y crust.
will this still work if you put it in a pie pan with crust on the bottom? I love the crust and prefer my pot pies fully encased in crust.
I like mine with bottom crust too and always had big trouble with the bottom not cooking all the way through. I sure hope he gets around to answering your question.
It's best to blind bake your crust, weighing it down with baking beads.
Then fill, and bake with the lid on.
@@daithi007 👍👍
That’s just a pie
@@daithi007 was about to comment that. If no baking beads then uncooked rice is good also
I appreciate how well organized your written recipes are and your cooking demos follow your recipes to the letter. Very well organized.
This channel is a hidden gem, keep up the great work Brian!
That's a lot of hard work Brian, greatly appreciated as always
Great Video Bri! Can't wait to try this one. Looking forward to Pot Pie this weekend. Thanks again!
I've just found you recently and absolutely love your recipes and techniques.
Laughter is the best medicine. Thanks, Bri.
Just got done making this and I’m enjoying it now oh my goodness it’s delicious, thank you for sharing your expertise.
Congratulations on 300k… you will make at least 1 million this year. You have great but practical recipes that aren’t made with bizarre or crazy expensive ingredients and tools.
Watching you make this was like therapy! Well done!
Oh wow that looks EPIC! Nice job Brian!!
Another fine recipe delivered to us by a very well spoken gentleman. Also, it’s fun to see the small human errors like leaving the cap on the grinder. Well done !
Your channel is criminally underrated Bri - by rights it should be up there with Babish and Ragusea in terms of viewers and subs. Between this and the ridiculously good Chili recipe you put up a while ago (still hands down the best chili I have ever had) that is now two recipes of yours I have been inspired to try and both turned out fantastic.
I agree - he should be way higher! I have now made the shepherds pie, tortilla soup, beef fajitas, beef stew,beef and broccoli stir fry, and the crispy potatoes. Each was perfectly delicious! I have learned many new tricks - my fave being roasting the beef for the stew in the oven for beef stew…genius! Pot pie will be tonight - I’m afraid to try any of the bread recipes….
What a perfect recipe for the season. Thanks for the tips and tricks. You produce the highest quality videos. It is to the point and filled with usable content for the home cook. Keep it going. I will do that dry brine whole chicken roast.
Killer recipe and also love the editing on this one. Great vid!
Brian… Brian… Brian… the king of chicken. Love everything you do! Keep up the good work.
Loved the quad shot of the diced veggies - very YSAC. 😄
B-man! Wow what an incredible creation! Just made this. Totally remedied me of learning how to cook and bake from my grandma. Keep up the awesome vidz!!
One of my fav videos of yours so far. Chikky P Pie is the bomb!
B-man, once again, managing to fit an insane amount of technique tips into a single awesome recipe! Commenting for the CZcams algorithm
Thanks for being here
I like the example of the single portion as I’m often cooking only for myself, it’s handy to get a look at how you portion and maybe freeze portions for later 🙂👍 Would love suggestions on future recipes for splitting out and freezing smaller portions when it’s possible with a recipe (not everything portions-out for later , I get that 🙂). Awesome stuff, Bri!
instead of weeknighting he has a series called lonely nights and its how to portion and preserve extra portions and single serving foods
That added "splat" at 2:33 was hysterical
once again, another brilliant recipe - watching this after i made the poolish for my English muffins (Brian's recipe) for some breakfast sandwiches this weekend!
I like your no nonsense approach to making your videos. Just enough information to make it interesting and informative without giving us the entire history of how and why humans came to raise chickens for food. I make a great pot pie too, but I learned a couple of tips here that I'll incorporate to see how I like it!
Recently discovered your videos and you are Fabulous. I'm a total fan!
Oh geez Brian. You are totally making me hungry and I just ate. Obviously I'm subscribed.
Wow! Amazing!
Brian: Chicken Pot Pie: Double Crust RULES! Love, love, love your channel but no double crust? C'mon Bri! You are more than up to the task! That you do not use a double crust would never fully diminish you in my eyes as a terrific chef ...but please do a double crust chicken pot pie...please...please...please....please!
I needed thisssss.
Props to stl. I know you aren't a native, but i love anyone who calls it home. Also fantastic recipe.
Trying it now!
Ohh will making this thing!
Love this. A lot of CPP recipes call for making a chicken veloute/béchamel combo. I’m in your camp, dude. No dairy needed if the stock is bomb! I also love the recurring use of fennel in many of your vids.
I can go either way on slow vs. pressure cooked stock. I’ve been going slow and uncovered on the stovetop this winter based solely on the fact that the house smells amazing for many, many, hours.
Also humidifies the house if you need that in the winter like I do hahaha
It looks so yummy I will surely have to try it😊
This was really awesome! I have bread in the oven and it smells like chicken pot pie! That happens when you really get into a cooking video, you actually smell what's being cooked on the video.
Thank you.
Thanks Bri for another GREAT video! I also grew up with the same chicken pot pies as you, except that they came in metallic pans in the 70s and had to be cooked in the oven. I always LOVED the bottom crust. I used to turn them out onto a plate so the bottom crust was on top. I've read through the comments and see that others share this love of a bottom crust. I want to experiment with your recipe to see if it's possible. I trust your advice, but I really crave a fully enclosed pie. My other comment is about quantity. If I only make 2 at a time, will the extra crust dough last in the fridge? I also LOVED the medium dice video trick and watched it 3 times! Yay! Keep up the awesome work!!! Thanks, Mitch
Love this! You the man Big Dawg Brian!
Wood wood J dawg
Looks delicious.
Thank looks sooooo good. Sadly this is more than I can manage but I just wanted to share that I appreciated a couple of things. 1: you showed how the cold stock looked and admitted that it look unappetising. As a cooking disaster, others who only show pretty stuff means when I see my stock looking unappetising I would assume I did something wrong and toss it in fear of food poisoning. So thank you.
2. Along the same lines, for the same reasons, thanks for explaining the pink chicken.
3. Thank you for sharing the store bought puff pastry option and telling us there is no shame in it while sharing the pros and cons. As someone who can’t manage to cook everything by hand, it was great to hear and learn what the difference is. Oh and same for the rotisserie chicken. Thank you
Looks amazing, as always! I will say, though, I'm firmly in the "needs a bottom crust also" camp. Other than convenience when cooking it, is there a reason that's not as common?
I trialed a bottoms crust, but it never cooked quite right and in my opinion it’s a different thing. A cool thing, but diff
I pre-bake my bottom crust until light golden brown, then brush with olive oil before adding the filling. This way, the bottom crust has some oomph to it and stands up to the gravy.
Agreed! It's not a pie if it doesn't have a bottom crust!
@JB Khan Sorry, you are incorrect. A bottom crust just takes away space dedicated to more chicken!
@@BrianLagerstrom I guess its subjective but its not different at all in many parts of the US in fact I would dare to call an only top crusted dish a pot pie myself. Looks amazing as always and I love your interpretation of it.
Looks incredible
The medium dice video cut was magnificent. Watched it three times haha
Mmmm might try this out tomorrow
just made this for dinner, sans fancy veggies. absolutely delicious! everything was perfect. best chicken pot pie I've ever had. Thanks Brian!
I ended up with enough filling for about (8)-14oz ramekins. the pie crust was enough for 5. Will make a little more of the dough and try to freeze some pot pies for later :). We were thinking we might need 2 pot pies per person, but one each was plenty.
Looks so yummy, if I decide to bake one from scratch, I’ll try your recipe.
dinner tonight - sooooooo goooooood.
BMAN does it again! Love this, dude!
Thanks for another great video, Bri! Any advice on freezing these?
I need to make this immediately
Wow, think this is the first time to see chicken feet in non-asian chicken stock. Plus the tip about slow simmering won't emulsify the fat into the stock. Not many channels mention that. Huge difference in flavor and methods of use in my opinion. Great job as always Bman!
I took 2 days to get it done… amazingly delicious. The chicken feet had my stomach doing gymnastics but I stuck to it and what a reward! Thanks Brian
Virtually the same recipe that I make! Except that have never added fennel (yet!) and I add about a third of a cup of cream that's I see now is unnecessary. And the feet, that's a hard no. lol. I keep speaking of the quality of your vids and I really can't do that enough. Still floored by all you put into these. The dice/mince cutaway, the bloopers (egg, oops!), the sound effects (stock, sploosh!). The fact that virtually everything is filmed, shots clearly very meticulously planned, and then narrated through a voice-over. Bri, you ARE in a league of your own. Congrats on a very well-deserved 300K! Woot! 👍
Beautiful work here, and being a big advocate of buying free-range chicken, I'm a massive fan you showed the origin of the meat here.
Somewhere there's a Chef John lamenting on the lack of Cayenne. Looks good!
Looks delicious 😋 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Looks delicious Greetings from Scotland Have a wonderful day everyone
YOU ARE AMAZING ❤❤❤❤❤
I love to see the happy eating dance at the end of your videos, makes me think about when I was a little kid eating something good :-)
Started geologie trial - thanks !
I hope it works for you!
I would love to see Brian do a chopped cheese or manicotti. Manicotti is one of my faves.
Your dry brine and slow cooking of the chicken are a game changer, it is my new way to cook chicken. The stick of butter to sweat the veggies was too much for our tummies so will scale back next time, but I found my new chicken pot pie recipe!
just had your chicken soup last night (amazing). Bring on the pot pie for the weekend win!
Damn fine work.
B-man! Great name and even better recipe. I made this recipe exactly and it is fantastic. I especially like how it is creamy and a bit light with no cream or milk.
So glad you went for it thanks for watching and making Bri
Looks good! I've been putting rutabaga in my pot pies instead of potato just to switch things up. Of course, I also make mashed potatoes on the side but I'm crazy like that.
Love it!! Sherry?? Nice... Marsala wine?? AWESOME!! Try it next time when you cook savory❤️👍
Holy smokes. As your newest disciple, I tried this last week. Absolutely amazing. Was a bit of a snipe hunt to find the chicken feet and backs and someone recommended a specialty packing house in town and voila! The FauxTisserie chicken gag is absolutely factory. Really solid and infinitely better than the store-bought prefabs, which are always UNDERCOOKED to me, actually. I hate slimy chicken. Yeesh. Found 10 oz ramekins and I totally see where 14 would be superior. But that just meant we each ate two, so no real loss there. The best pot pies ever ever.
Chicken pot pie recipe is very interesting, very delicious. Watching from Germany
Nice! Love chicky pot pie. One herb I like to add to chicken dishes is Tarragon. Try it. You'll like it.
12:52 is the money shot. Thank you for this recipe.
Oh boy, this is a winner winner chicken dinner fo sho! Thanks!
Comprehensively (yet succinctly) teaching how to make homemade pie crust, homemade stock, dry brining and roasting a bird, AND a delicious, creamy, yet dairy-free filling in under 15 minutes? I'm not sure I could pay for better content if I tried. What a supreme video.
S0 happy I found your 😢site I grew up on Styengberg chicken pies from Montreal. So good have tried to replicate it, unsuccessful your recipe is the best I have ever heard of😊thank you so much.
Hey B-man. disagree about the con for pressure cooking chicken stock. Especially since you cool it off anyway. Yes it emulsifies more, because of the vigorous boiling going on. But unless you need it right away(and you cool yours down anyway), the fat floats up to the top no matter what and becomes very easy to peel off when cold.
Agreed - also, if you do natural pressure release over a long time, the stock stays very clear with way less emulsification.
Actually, an Instant Pot doesn't cook food by boiling it, since the huge amount of pressure inside prevents boiling. To make a clear stock that doesn't have emulsified fat in an Instant Pot, let the pressure come down on its own instead of releasing it. Releasing the pressure will increase the temperature and trigger boiling and emulsification.
But I do agree with you, the IP is a viable alternative here. I'm old school though, and actually prefer Bri's method.
I am also a pressure cooker stock advocate. I found I enjoy the pressure cooker stock more than the slow cooker or pot-on-stove approach. I see much more gelatin in the pressure cooker stock, so much so that it has the consistency of jello when cold.
I'd like to see a side by side comparison now!
Thank you so much for using grams and kg I love chicken pot pies
I ate Stouffer's pot pies when I was little not because I had too but because I WANTED TOO it was sooooo good. Ever since then I've loved pot pies and make them in big pyrex containers but the use of chicken feet I have not done. I will definitely be trying this recipe!😆
I devoted 2021 to upping my ramen game, and at first was really hindered because I just couldn't work with chicken feet. Idk what it is, they just creep me out -- but nearly *all* ramen broths require chicken feet. Eventually, I started using packets of powdered gelatin and (thankfully) that worked. So for anyone who's similarly disgusted by chicken feet, don't be discouraged by this recipe!
That's good to know, thank you! How much powdered gelatin would you recommend? Thank you! X
Yeah I heard and saw chicken feet and I was like nope! 🤮
I bought a bunch of chicken parts from a local farm for making stock. I could get what they called a stock pack of bones and such. It was about 7-8 pounds, so plenty of stuff. When I opened it up though, it included both chicken feet and heads. I was ok with the feet, but I drew the line at putting the heads in the stock!
That’s crazy I love chicken feet. I love the chicken skin and the skin on the feet is so thick. I like to chew on them.
Never thought I'd hear the word "ploppy" in a food video that is so appetizing 😂
Chicken Pot Pie my 3 favorite things!
Hey Bri-guy, been a long time watcher but rarely comment on anything ever but wanted to say one thing. BISCUIT! I know it is not a pot pie but make a nice biscuit and bake that on top and you have something really amazing IMO. I usually do a 12 inch cast iron pot pie filling and either do drop biscuits on top or sometimes take the time to cut them out. All and all it makes for a really hearty meal that rocks.
HOLY CRAP!!! That looks wonderful! Stouffer's? Bri, you had a privileged childhood. We had Swanson's. Yech. It's really nice to see a pot pie with actual chicken in it instead of mostly crust top, sides and bottom. You hit a home run dude!
OW! Audio levels at the end, dude!
I really enjoyed the editing you did on the little section of slamming the whole veg on the cutting board and they're instantly diced. cool little touches like that really make the video. Also, is "all day" a you thing or just local vernacular?
Hey B! Big fan of the CPP! Would doubling up thickness on the top crust make up for no crust on the bottom? Or would it not bake flaky and be a soggy mess?
Looks yummy!!! Who doesn't love a good chicken pot pie!! :)
I love fennel…highly underrated I think
I like crust on the bottom and sides as well as on the top
I tried this recipe, cutting a few corners (I had non-feet stock already made from my last chicken). It was still dope.
I saw this was the new upload and thought "Awwww maaaan, I hate pot pies". Then I realized, I hated the crappy oven ones I'd had as a kid in the 80's AND this IS a Bri video. Definitely going to try this so I can have a pot pie I actually enjoy for the first time in my life. Much love man!
I grew up on Swanson’s (maybe that’s a West Coast brand?) and Marie Callender’s. Can’t wait to try the BriPie. 😊
MASTERPIECE.......🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
Stouffers? You grew up in a better neighborhood than me. We got Banquet pot pies, Swanson Hungryman when the folks were feeling posh. Great job on the recipe.
That looks amazing Bri ! Is there a specific reason as to why you only used chicken in your stock and no veggetables ?
B-Man, please keep dancing. It only took a few videos for my 3 year old to notice and now a few seconds into your vids he asks, "Is he going to dance?!". He sits and watches the entire video waiting. Keep up the good work!
hahah so THAT'S the secret. I was wondering why so many kids like my videos. I was hoping it was the food, but i'll take it!
Don't worry, were here for the food. He gets pretty pumped to put the pepps on the pizza from all the pizza recipes and his morning toast has improved from all the bread baking tips. Thanks man!
I’ve watched legit all videos. Thank you for teaching me how to cook so my husband thinks I’m the literal Queen bee’s knees and abdomen.
