Individual Double-Crusted Chicken Pot Pies Recipe

Recipe By Serious Eats

This is the double-crusted chicken pot pie i grew up with, based on my mother's recipe and updated with daniel's techniques for cold-poached chicken and basic chicken stock. The result is a super-concentrated broth for the filling, with tender chunks of chicken that stay juicy even after baking.
