Bake's Chicken Pot Pie

This is the recipe that Bake is famous for. He usually makes it in a 9x13 inch glass baking pan or any 8 cup baking dish. Today, I made it in individual ramekins.

Bake's Chicken Pot Pie

Store bought dough is what he uses, or you could use any pie dough. I use store bought puff pastry. With leftover dough, you can cut out shapes to make a design on top.

2 cups sliced carrots, cooked

12 ounces of frozen peas, thawed

1 veloute sauce recipe

pastry dough for 1 pie crust
