CRUST
Mix flour, salt and baking powder and parmesan cheese in medium size bowl. Add the shortening and diced butter and mix quickly with your fingers until coated with flour and pea size pieces have formed. Add the ice water, only enough to moisten and have it come together. Dump on lightly floured board and knead quickly into a ball. Divide the dough into 6 balls. Roll each into an 8-inch circle. Place 3 of the circles into 6-inch deep dish pie pans. Set aside.
INGREDIENTS
Preheat oven to 375°F
In a small saucepan, heat the chicken broth and dissolve the bouillon cube. In a large pot, melt butter and sauté the onions over medium heat for 10-15 minutes. Add the flour and cook over low heat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Add the hot chicken stock to the onion mixture. Simmer over low heat for 1 more minute, stirring until thick. Add 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, heavy cream and soup. Add the cubed chicken, carrots, peas, onions and parsley. Mix well. Divide the filling evenly between the 3 prepared pie crusts. Place the 3 remaining circles of dough on each. Crimp edges and brush each with egg wash. Sprinkle with black pepper. Make a few slits in top.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour or until tops are golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Makes 3 individual pot pies.
