I use Ina Garten’s recipe.

I love the way Nigella Lawson prepares the chicken for her pot pie. I can’t use the whole recipe because it requires bacon. But I do think her way of cooking the chicken for the pot pie is ridiculously simple. Here is the recipe (I’ll edit the unsavoury bits):
- Chicken and Mushroom Pot Pie:
1tsp garlic olive oil
125g chestnut mushrooms sliced
250g chicken diced
25g flour
1/2tsp dried thyme
1tbsp butter
300ml chicken stock
1 sheet ready rolled puff pastry
Method:
-
Preheat the oven to Gas7. In a pan heat the oil, fry the mushrooms and soften them.
-
Toss the chicken in the flour and thyme in a ziploc bag/plastic bag.
-
Melt the butter in the mushroom pan, before adding the chicken and any left over flour. Stir until the chicken begins to colour.
-
Pour in the hot stock stirring to form a sauce. Let this bubble for 5 minutes.
-
Divide the chicken into pie pots, top with a pastry lid. Brush with beaten egg.
-
Cook the pies for 20 minutes.
Remember, I haven’t tried the recipe but would make in the same way if I ever catch hold of puff pastry.
Here is a video of the same dish. I have omitted the haram stuff (bacon and marsala wine) from the recipe I posted above but they are there in the video:

I would add freshly ground black pepper or a little bit of green chillies for the spice, however I wouldnt start mixing in desi masalas. That won't work
