Chipotle Chicken Pot Pie

Instructions

1. Preheat the overn to 350 degrees F.
2. Place the chicken breasts on a baking dish and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove the meat from the bones and discard the skin. Cut the chicken into large dice. You will have 2-3 cups of cubed chicken.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the chicken stock and dissolve the bouillon cubes in the stock. In a large pot or Dutch oven add the bacon and cook until the fat is rendered and the bacon is stiff. Remove the bacon from the pan, melt the butter and saute the onions over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until translucent.
4. Add the flour and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for two minutes. Add the hot chicken stock to the sauce. Simmer over low heat for 1 more minute, stirring until thick. Add 1 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and heavy cream. Add the cubed chicken, carrots, peas, corn, parsley, chipotle, cheddar cheese, ancho chili pepper, smoked paprika, crumbled bacon and cilantro. Mix well.
5. For the pastry, mix the flour, smoked paprika, salt, thyme, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the shortening and butter and cut with two knives until the butter and shortening were pea size. Mix the ice water slowly until the dough starts to stick together. Dump the dough out onto a floured board and knead quickly into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Divide the dough in half and roll each piece to a 12-inch circle. Place one of the dough halves on the bottom of a pie tin. Add the chicken filling on top of the dough. Brush the outside edges of the dough with the egg wash, then place the other rolled-out dough on top. Pinch the corners of the dough to seal the pie.  Brush the corner with the egg wash and brush the top of the pie with the egg wash. Make 5-6 slits in the top of the pie.
7. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 60 minutes.
