Ingredients:

1 tbsp

Olive Oil

Directions:

1

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat

2

Add the onions and potatoes and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes

3

Add the carrots and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture, about 5 minutes

4

Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds

5

Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute

6

Add the warmed chicken stock and bring to a boil

7

Reduce the heat and simmer until thick and bubbly, about 7 minutes

8

Add the chicken meat and tarragon; taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper

9

Transfer the chicken mixture to a large casserole dish; set aside to cool slightly

10

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F

11

Remove the pie crust dough from the refrigerator

12

Dust a clean surface lightly with flour and roll the dough out to form a 12- by 8-inch rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick

13

Transfer the dough to the top of the casserole dish

14

Press the dough onto the sides of the dish to seal the edges

15

Using a paring knife, cut several slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape while baking

16

Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes

17

Let stand 10 minutes before serving

18

Combine the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment

19

Add the butter and vegetable shortening and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds

20

Add enough of the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing between additions, until the dough holds together without being sticky or crumbly

21

Remove the dough from the processor and shape it into a disk

22

Wrap in plastic wrap

23

Chill until firm and the moisture has distributed evenly, about 30 minutes

24

Dust a clean work surface and a rolling pin with flour

25

Place the disk of dough in the center of the floured surface

26

Starting in the center of the dough, roll to, but not over, the upper edge of the dough

27

Return to the center, and roll down to, but not over, the lower edge

28

Lift the dough, give it a quarter turn and lay it on the work surface

29

Continue rolling, repeating the quarter turns, until you have a disk about 1/8 inch thick

30

Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until ready for use
