Add the chicken stock and simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Mix the flour and milk until smooth and add to the vegetables, and cook until thickened. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet heat the oil over high heat and sear the chicken until golden. Cut seared chicken into 1/2 inch chunks and add it, the thyme, and parsley to the vegetables and set side.
• For the topping: Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water, season with salt.

• To assemble the pot pies fill 6 ramekins with 1 cup of filling each and top with the mashed potatoes. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Place the chicken bones in a stock pot and cover with the cold water. Bring to a boil, skimming the fat and foam from the surface of the stock. Add the carrots, onions, celery, leek, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and garlic. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 2 hours. Strain the stock into a container. Cool and refrigerate. Store in a tightly covered container for 5 days in the refrigerator or freeze for 1 month.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) Roll one ball out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate. Roll out top crust and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine chicken, vegetables, potato soup and milk. Season with pepper, thyme, parsley and salt to taste. Pour filling into pie shell. Cover with top crust. Seal edges and cut several slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• For the base, melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour and cook for a few mins, stirring all the time. Now, using a whisk or spatula, carefully stir in the milk, a little at a time, making sure the sauce stays smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for a couple of mins until it thickens - it will be very thick. Turn the heat right down and keep cooking for 5 mins, stirring often.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry all of the chicken in batches until it starts to colour lightly at the edges. Scoop out each batch of chicken and put it on a plate. Add the onion to the pan if you are using it, and cook over a low heat until soft. Add the chicken and any juices and the onion to the white sauce, fold it in and cook the mixture for a further 15 mins or until the chicken is cooked through. If you're making the base ahead of time, you can leave it to cool at this stage then freeze in an airtight container for up to a month. (Defrost fully before using in the next step.)
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cook the potatoes in boiling water for 10 mins, then drain and cool a little before slicing thickly.

(Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons ice water if the dough is too dry.) Form the dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you make the filling, at least 1 hour.
• Make the filling: Pile the 2 crushed garlic cloves, bay leaf, lemon peel, peppercorns and coriander seeds on a square of cheesecloth. Bring the corners together to form a pouch and tie with a piece of kitchen twine.
• Combine the chicken, chicken broth and cheesecloth pouch in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate using tongs. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl; discard the cheesecloth pouch. Wipe out the saucepan; return the strained broth to the pan and keep at a very gentle simmer over low heat. Shred the chicken using 2 forks.

• Bake the pot pie: Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough into an 11-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Place it over the filling. Roll the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges with your fingers. Cut vents in the top of the dough. Beat the egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush the crust all over with the egg wash. Place the pot pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the crust is a deep golden brown, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool 20 minutes before serving.

• Make the garlic mashed potatoes: cut each potato into 16 pieces (I leave the peels on, but you can peel them if you like). Place them in a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Boil, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Drain well and return to the saucepan you cooked them inches Toss the potatoes over medium heat for a minute.

Steps:

• Preheat over to 200 degrees. Use a deep NON STICK saute pan, one that can go in the oven. Failing this a large round baking dish will do.
• Cut a piece of baking paper the size of the bottom of the pan and place this inside of the pan.
• Finely chop the onions and set aside, meanwhile heat another large frying pan or deep pan, chop the bacon and add to the hot dry second pan. Fry until golden. Chop or grate the garlic, add a knob of butter and a tablespoon of olive oil to the bacon and add the garlic. Cook for a couple of minutes being careful not to burn the garlic.

• Take the first pan (lined with the baking paper) and carefully layer the bottom of the pan with some potatoes. You need enough for 4 layers so be take this into consideration. Next layer some of the chicken mixture and continue to do this (potato then chicken) until you reach the end of the mixture. Finishing with a top later of potato. Push the pie down hard to pack it in to the pan, this is important.
• Pop the pan or the dish into the oven and bake for 45 minutes. If it starts to brown too much you can loosely cover with some tin foil.

• Once the 45 minutes are up, take the pan out and carefully lay a baking tray on the top of the board and turn over so the pie comes out of the pan. This should come out clean and solid if you packed the ingredients into the pan tightly. Stick the tray back in the oven and cook for a further 15 minutes, watching carefully to make sure it does not burn. This will help the sides brown.
• Cut into slices and serve with a heap of the green salad.

Steps:

Add sour cream, heavy cream, milk, and seasoning blend; whisk thoroughly and cook sauce until heated through, 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Arrange 1/2 of the vegetables on top of the bottom crust and add 1/2 of the chicken over top. Layer with remaining vegetables, followed by remaining chicken. Ladle sauce over vegetables and chicken. Cover with the top crust, pinching to form a seal around the outer edge. Poke a few steam holes in the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes. covering the crust with foil when it starts to brown. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. The sauce will have thinned but as it rests it will thicken again.

• Lay 1 sheet phyllo on a work surface and lightly brush with melted butter. (Keep extra phyllo covered while you work.) Stack remaining 5 sheets on top, rotating each sheet slightly so edges are offset and brushing each with butter. Gently transfer stack to a buttered 9-inch glass pie plate. Fill with chicken mixture, then fold edges over top. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
