Executive Chef Freddy Torres at Finley's Irish Pub and Eatery offers his chicken pot pie recipe.

It's one of the many dishes he's perfected while working at the Irish Pub and eatery since 2008.

And he begins by boiling the vegetables: carrots, peas, and potatoes.

In a separate pan, chef heats whole milk, adds chicken base, and spices.

The chef mixes in the vegetables. Leaving the liquid they boiled in.

In a third pot chef has blended flour and butter. This will thicken the sauce.

It's personal preference on the thickness of your pot pie mixture, so you can cheat more or less, depending on your preference.

Torres adds cooked and shredded chicken and then tops with pastry. Most importantly, do not overfill the bowl. Otherwise, you may get a soggy crust, overflowing insides and a busted pastry.

He vents the dough, making three cuts.

Finally, he finishes them at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
