▶️ How to make Chicken Pot Pie | Mother Sauces Protege Series: Veloute - LIVESTREAM

Directions 📝

***1 Day Before Cooking***

1. Grate 1 stick (4 ounces) of the butter onto a plate and freeze for 20 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1¼ cup of the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sugar.
3. Crumble in the frozen butter and rub the flour and butter with your hands (like your hands are cold and you’re trying to warm them) until butter is pea-sized. Use your hands to incorporate 5 tablespoons of ice water until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overwork the flour. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate overnight.
4. Season the chicken thighs with salt and place in a medium pot with the poaching aromatics.
5. Smash and peel 2 of the garlic cloves and add to the pot.
6. Thinly slice the shallot and add to the pot.
7. Juice the lemon and add to the pot, then cover the chicken with water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and allow the chicken to gently poach until cooked through, 10-15mins.
8. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. When it’s cool enough to handle, shred and place in an airtight container in your fridge.

9. Strain and transfer the poaching liquid to a sealed container in your refrigerator or freezer to reserve for later use.
