Nine Fine Irishmen Chicken Pot Pie Recipe May 2026

In a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron is perfect), melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery—sweat 6–8 minutes until soft but not brown. Stir in garlic, cook 1 minute. Sprinkle flour over vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. You’re making a deep roux. It should smell nutty.

Let rest 10 minutes. That’s the hardest part. Pull the skillet straight to the table. Crack the pastry with the back of a spoon. Let the steam roll out—close your eyes for a second. You’ll smell the Guinness, the thyme, the butter. Nine Fine Irishmen Chicken Pot Pie Recipe
