Chicken Potpies are always heart warming during cold months. I normally make my own puff pastry for the top crust, but I decided to test make regular pie dough if butter and Crisco oil. I thought about using lard, but the commercial ones contain preservatives, and I don't have my own rendered lard in the kitchen.

My recipe is adapted from Alton Brown's Curry Chicken Pot Pie. For topping crust, I tested missing butter and Crisco oil. Very little Crisco oil. 1/2 stick butter and 2 Tbsp Crisco.
The result is pleasant light crust. I knew the pie shell made with Crisco oil would turn out quite well but it's been a very long time since I used Crisco to make anything for health reasons. But I guess "As you like it" could take precedent.
Make your favorite filling. To make thick filling add roux.
I didn't want to waste the dough, and extra crust - when turn out good is always yummy helps filling your tummy. Brush with egg wash and bake.
