I have tried Chicken Pot Pie a few times now with the same outcome. I use my dutch oven and after about 10 minutes on the egg the liquid starts to boil up over my puff pastry and this keep my pastry from becoming brown? I just use a easy standard recipe from food network. Any help or new recipes would be helpful. Thanks.

    I think some things may be better cooked in a regular oven

    What temp are you cooking it at? I presume you are doing it indirect? Perhaps try to do it in a shallower pan to allow more heat to escape. The high sides of a dutch oven hold in more moisture than a baking pan or skillet.

    While not a fan of Chicken Pot Pie cooked anyway, I have not found ANYTHING better cooked in an oven.

    Cakes, pies, cookies, sponge cake and anything cooked in a DO, nothing that works for me better in an oven.

    Thoughts?????????????

    I did a chicken pot pie two weeks ago (actually two) with chicken I cooked on the egg, but I finished it in the oven. 

    A couple of points: Did you cut vent holes in the pastry? You also could start with the filling cold. You also might try cutting down on the liquid; you should have just enough to bind the ingredients.

    I always cook it seperately, and put the puff pastry or biscuits on the top at the very end.

    Thanks for the help. I used a few of the suggestions and it came out wonderful this time. I made sure that it didn't have alot of liquid in it this time but the best thing was I used a shallow baking pan instead of the dutch oven and it was spot on. Thanks so much...
