Completely Homemade Chicken Pot Pie

Completely Homemade Chicken Pot Pie

An elevated, completely from-scratch version of the classic chicken pot pie. Featuring succulent slow-roasted chicken, rich gelatinous homemade stock, and a flaky sour cream pie crust, this recipe delivers maximum flavor and perfect texture without being soggy. Chef's tips: (1) Using chicken feet in the stock provides natural gelatin, which gives the sauce a luscious body without needing excess flour. (2) Dry brining the whole chicken and slow-roasting it at a low temperature keeps both the breast and thigh meat incredibly juicy and flavorful. (3) Sour cream and egg added to the pie crust make the dough extremely pliable, tender, and flaky, far surpassing standard butter crusts.
