How to cook deliciously - Savory Chicken Potpie

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 375°. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste; transfer to a shallow roasting pan. In a large bowl, toss potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, celery, leek, onions and garlic with herbs and remaining oil; place around chicken.

2. Stage

Bake, uncovered, 1 hour or until chicken juices run clear and vegetables are tender. Remove chicken from pan to cool. Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon to a large bowl; add peas and pimientos. Pour drippings and loosened browned bits from roasting pan into a measuring cup. Skim fat, reserving 2 tablespoons fat.

3. Stage

Increase oven setting to 400°. In a large saucepan, melt butter with reserved fat over medium heat. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually whisk in broth and cooking juices. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir into vegetables.

4. Stage

Remove chicken from bones; discard skin and bones. Cut chicken into 3/4-in. pieces; stir into gravy mixture. Divide among four 12-oz. ovenproof bowls or place in a 2-qt. baking dish.

5. Stage

Unfold puff pastry. Roll to 1/8-in. thickness; cut out four circles to fit ramekins. Place dough over chicken mixture, pressing to seal edges. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolk with cream; brush over pastry. Place potpies on a baking sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.
