Number Of Ingredients 35

For the Chicken:
2 quarts (1.9L) homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
4 1/2 pounds (2kg) assorted bone-in, skin-on chicken legs, thighs, and breasts
1 large onion, diced (about 8 ounces; 2 cups; 225g)
2 large carrots, diced (about 8 ounces; 1 1/3 cups; 225g)
2 large celery ribs, diced (about 5 ounces; 3/4 cup; 140g)
2 medium garlic cloves, crushed
2 sprigs thyme
1 sprig flat-leaf parsley
1 sprig rosemary
1 bay leaf
For the Filling:
1/2 ounce gelatin (4 1/2 teaspoons; 15g)
1/4 cup (55ml) reserved chicken stock, cooled
4 ounces unsalted butter (8 tablespoons; 115g)
4 ounces all-purpose flour (1 cup minus 1 tablespoon; 115g)
1 medium onion, diced (about 7 ounces; 1 2/3 cups; 200g)
1 large carrot, diced (4 ounces; 3/4 cup; 115g)
1 large celery rib, diced (4 ounces; 3/4 cup; 115g)
1/2 cup (115ml) dry white wine
1 quart (900ml) reserved chicken stock
5 ounces frozen peas (1 heaping cup; 140g)
3 ounces drained and diced pimento peppers (1/2 cup; 85g), or more to taste (see note)
1 3/4 teaspoons (7g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt, use about half as much by volume or the same weight
1/4 ounce fresh thyme leaves (about 1 teaspoon; 7g)
1 teaspoon (5g) freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons (7ml) Worcestershire sauce
28 ounces poached chicken, from above (4 cups, shredded; 795g), or more to taste
For the Biscuit Topping:
9 ounces all-purpose flour, such as Gold Medal (about 2 cups, spooned; 250g)
1 ounce sugar (about 2 tablespoons; 30g)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons (6g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt, use about half as much by volume or the same weight
8 ounces cold unsalted butter (16 tablespoons; 230g), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
8 ounces cultured lowfat buttermilk or kefir (about 1 cup; 225g), straight from the fridge

Steps:

  • For Chicken: Combine chicken stock, chicken parts, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme, parsley, rosemary, and bay leaf in a 5-quart stainless steel pot or saucier. Cover and place over medium-high heat until stock registers about 150°F (66°C) on a digital thermometer.
  • Adjust heat to maintain that temperature, plus or minus 10°F (5-6°C), and cook until thickest part of chicken registers 135°F (57°C), about 1 hour. Remove chicken with tongs, set aside on a rimmed platter, and cover loosely. Strain stock through a mesh sieve into a large bowl, discard solids, and set stock aside to cool.
  • For Filling: Combine gelatin and 1/4 cup (55ml) cooled stock in a small bowl and whisk until no lumps remain; set aside. In a 5-quart saucier, melt butter over medium-low heat, then whisk in flour. Stir with a heat-resistant spatula until roux is fragrant and a nutty blond color, about 5 minutes (it's okay to adjust the heat if this seems to be happening too slowly). Stir in diced onion, carrots, and celery and continue cooking and stirring until vegetables are slightly softened, about 7 minutes more.
  • Add white wine and 1 quart reserved stock, stirring constantly until smooth; remaining stock from poaching can be reserved for another use. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it begins to bubble, remove from heat. Stir in frozen peas, diced pimentos, and prepared gelatin, followed by salt, thyme, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until gelatin has fully melted into sauce and adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Shred or dice reserved chicken, discarding skin and bones, then stir into filling. If it better suits your schedule, the filling can be covered and refrigerated up to 3 days, or frozen in an airtight container for 3 months. Otherwise, divide filling between 6 individual oven-safe dishes, or add to a 2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish (approximately 7 by 11 inches). Place on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet and set aside.
  • For Biscuit Topping: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter and toss to break up the pieces, then smash each one flat between your fingertips. Continue smashing and rubbing until butter is broken up into small pieces, like cereal flakes. Stir in buttermilk with a flexible spatula, then drop the thick dough in 1-tablespoon portions over prepared filling.
  • Bake until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbling-hot, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on whether filling has been chilled. Cool at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken and reach a safe temperature to enjoy. Covered in foil, leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated to serve.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup plain cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (can use thighs or combo of both)
2 1/4 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped fine
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 medium carrots, scraped and cut into 1/4 inch thick
3 celery ribs, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • BUTTERMILK BISCUIT: Prepare the butter by quartering it lengthwise and then cutting crosswise into 1/2 inch pieces. Place butter in a bowl and put it in the freezer while you prepare the dry ingredients. Measure out the dry ingredients and pulse in a food processor fitted with a metal blade until well combined. Add butter and pulse just slightly until mixture resembles very coarse cornmeal with a few larger lumps.
  • Transfer mixture to a medium bowl and add the buttermilk. Stir until the dough gathers into moist clumps, adding up to 2 tablespoons extra buttermilk (adding 1 tablespoon at a time) if the dough is still dry. Transfer onto a floured work surface and form into a rough ball. Roll out the dough until it is 1/2 inch thick. Using a 2 1/2 inch pastry cutter, stamp out 8 rounds of dough.
  • At this point, refrigerate the dough rounds on a cookie sheet covered with plastic wrap while preparing the pot pie filling recipe. When the pot pie filling is ready, arrange the dough rounds over the warm filling and proceed with the recipe for the pot pie.
  • POT PIE: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a small stock pot. Add the chicken, cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes until chicken is just done. Transfer chicken to a bowl and reserve the leftover broth.
  • Using the same pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Saute the onion, celery and carrot until tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper. Shred the chicken into bite size pieces and set aside in a bowl with the sauteed vegetables.
  • Again using the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in reserved chicken broth, milk and the thyme. Bring to a simmer to thicken sauce, about 1 minute.
  • Stir the chicken and vegetables into the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in peas and parsley and pour into a baking dish. Immediately top with biscuits. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
