How to Make It
1. Step
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and the chicken breast. Season with salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through.
2. Step
Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl and return the pan to the stove.
3. Step
Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the pan.
4. Step
Add the onion, carrot, and celery, cooking until the vegetables have softened and the onion is translucent, 8-10 minutes.
5. Step
Sprinkle in the flour, stirring well so there are no lumps.
6. Step
Add the garlic, parsley and thyme, and cook for 2-3 minutes more, until fragrant.
7. Step
Pour in the chicken broth and stir occasionally until the sauce has thickened, 3-5 minutes.
8. Step
Stir in the frozen peas and reserved chicken.
9. Step
Season with salt and pepper, then pour in the heavy cream.
10. Step
Stir to combine and cook until the peas have defrosted. Remove the pan from the heat.
11. Step
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C)
12. Step
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Lay out 1 pie crust and lightly brush the top with water. Place another pie crust on top and lightly dust with flour.
13. Step
Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the dough in order to bind the 2 crusts, taking care not to make them thinner.
14. Step
Place a 5-inch (12 cm) metal bowl in the center of the crust and cut out a circle 2 inches (5 cm) larger than the bowl.
15. Step
Place the cut-out dough circle inside the bowl, making sure to fully press down so the dough is flush against the surface of the bowl.
16. Step
Fill the bowl with ¼ of the chicken mixture.
17. Step
Roll the excess pie dough into a large circle. Cover the filled bowl with the dough circle slightly larger than the diameter of the bowl.
18. Step
Press the edges of the dough together, then use scissors to trim any excess dough. Crimp the edges to close.
19. Step
Repeat with the remaining pie crusts to make 3 more bowls.
20. Step
Arrange the bowls on a baking sheet. Use a small knife to make small slits in the top crusts.
21. Step
Bake for about 45 minutes, until the tops are a deep golden brown.
22. Step
Let cool until the bowls are cool enough to handle.
23. Step
To serve, place a plate on top of a pie, then invert onto the plate. Garnish with parsley.
