Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 carrots, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups homemade chicken stock or reduced-fat low-sodium chicken broth, warmed
2 cups diced cooked chicken meat
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves, chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 disk Beginner's Pie Crust, recipe follows, or 1 sheet store-bought pie crust, refrigerated
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces
1/4 cup solid vegetable shortening, chilled and cut into pieces
3 to 8 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and potatoes and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the warmed chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until thick and bubbly, about 7 minutes. Add the chicken meat and tarragon; taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer the chicken mixture to a large casserole dish; set aside to cool slightly.
  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the pie crust dough from the refrigerator. Dust a clean surface lightly with flour and roll the dough out to form a 12- by 8-inch rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to the top of the casserole dish. Press the dough onto the sides of the dish to seal the edges. Using a paring knife, cut several slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape while baking. Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
  • Combine the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Add the butter and vegetable shortening and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds. Add enough of the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing between additions, until the dough holds together without being sticky or crumbly. Remove the dough from the processor and shape it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap. Chill until firm and the moisture has distributed evenly, about 30 minutes.
  • Dust a clean work surface and a rolling pin with flour. Place the disk of dough in the center of the floured surface. Starting in the center of the dough, roll to, but not over, the upper edge of the dough. Return to the center, and roll down to, but not over, the lower edge. Lift the dough, give it a quarter turn and lay it on the work surface. Continue rolling, repeating the quarter turns, until you have a disk about 1/8 inch thick. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until ready for use.

Time 2h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

4 tablespoons salted butter
2 jalapeño peppers, stemmed, seeded and diced
2 poblano peppers, stemmed, seeded and diced
2 corncobs, kernels removed
1 large yellow onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 canned chipotle peppers, chopped
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1/2 recipe Perfect Pie Crust, recipe follows, or your favorite pie crust
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup grated pepper jack cheese
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces
1 large egg
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
5 tablespoons cold water, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the jalapeño and poblano peppers, corn and onion. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook to soften the vegetables, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until the flour has coated the vegetables, a minute or two (avoid letting the flour stick to the bottom of the skillet). Stirring constantly, slowly add the chicken broth. Stir in the cream, cilantro and chipotle peppers. Allow the sauce to come to the boil and thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Add the chicken and stir to combine.
  • Roll out the Pie Crust on a lightly-floured surface to an 11-inch circle, large enough to hang over the skillet. Carefully lay the crust over the skillet, pressing gently into the sides to seal. Brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle over the pepper jack cheese. Cut 2 to 3 small slits in the top and bake until the crust is golden, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly before serving, 10 minutes or so.
  • Combine the flour, salt, butter and shortening in a large bowl.
  • Using a pastry cutter, gradually work it all together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Beat the egg with a fork and add it to the mixture along with the vinegar.
  • Add the cold water.
  • Stir it all together until it comes together, adding another tablespoon or two of water if it needs the moisture.
  • Form the mixture into 2 balls and wrap them in individual plastic bags. If using immediately, chill for 20 minutes in the refrigerator before rolling out. If freezing, remove them from the freezer 30 minutes before you are ready to use them.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 individual pot pies

Number Of Ingredients 22

3 whole (6 split) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin-on
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
5 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 chicken bouillon cubes
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups yellow onions, chopped (2 onions)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 cups medium-diced carrots, blanched for 2 minutes
1 (10-ounce) package frozen peas (2 cups)
1 1/2 cups frozen small whole onions
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/4 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
1/2 to 2/3 cup ice water
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
Flaked sea salt and cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove the meat from the bones and discard the skin. Cut the chicken into large dice. You will have 4 to 6 cups of cubed chicken.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the chicken stock and dissolve the bouillon cubes in the stock. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and saute the onions over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until translucent. Add the flour and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the hot chicken stock to the sauce. Simmer over low heat for 1 more minute, stirring, until thick. Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and heavy cream. Add the cubed chicken, carrots, peas, onions and parsley. Mix well.
  • For the pastry, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add the shortening and butter and mix quickly with your fingers until each piece is coated with flour. Pulse 10 times, or until the fat is the size of peas. With the motor running, add the ice water; process only enough to moisten the dough and have it just come together. Dump the dough out onto a floured board and knead quickly into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Divide the filling equally among 4 ovenproof bowls. Divide the dough into quarters and roll each piece into an 8-inch circle. Brush the outside edges of each bowl with the egg wash, then place the dough on top. Trim the circle to 1/2-inch larger than the top of the bowl. Crimp the dough to fold over the side, pressing it to make it stick. Brush the dough with egg wash and make 3 slits in the top. Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 17

21 ounces cauliflower, cut into florets with 1-inch stalks
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten

7 ½ ounces chicken breast, cubed
⅓ cup frozen peas
2 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ½ tablespoons water
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 120 degrees F (50 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Put cauliflower into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until it resembles rice. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 5 minutes. Set aside and cool cauliflower completely, about 10 minutes.
  • Place cauliflower rice in a cheesecloth and squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure that it crisps during the cooking process. Spread cauliflower onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Stir and continue baking about 7 minutes more.
  • Remove cauliflower from the oven and stir to mix and dry as it cools.
  • Increase the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and cook bacon until crisp and the fat has rendered. Add onion, carrot, and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add peas and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms have softened and peas are heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour chicken broth and cream into the skillet with the chicken mixture. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir well. Reduce heat and simmer at a low boil until sauce has reduced by one-fourth, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix cornstarch and water together in a bowl to create a paste. Add slowly to the chicken mixture in the skillet, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens. Pour chicken mixture into prebaked cauliflower crust. Top with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
