This recipe is from an episode of “Good Eats” that Steve and Jon watched and wanted me to try. Excellent but requires a lot of prep work.

Curry Chicken Pot Pie
Alton Brown

4 cups frozen vegetable mix, peas, carrots
1 to 2 T Canola Oil
3 T Butter
1 cup chopped Onion
1 cup chopped Celery
1 1/2 cups Chicken Broth
1/2 cup Milk
3 T Flour
1 tsp Curry Powder
2 T dried Parsley
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
2 cups cubed cooked Chicken
1 package Puff Pastry

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 T 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-onion 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, 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.
