COMPANY'S COMING CHICKEN POT PIE
I love tweaking 50's Comfort Food, so when I knew that I was having friends over for dinner, I wanted to upgrade Chicken Pot pie for all those jaded palates. This is extremely easy to put together, as half of it is ready-made products and the other half is scratch. Make the sauce early in the day, let the flavours mingle and then pop it in the oven when you're ready. The Pillsbury Grand biscuits held up SO well, that leftovers the following day were as exceptional as when originally served!

Steps:
- Place chopped onions, garlic and exotic mushroom mixture into a large 12" skillet with butter, cover, and heat over low heat until the onions are transparent.
- Meanwhile, tear apart the chicken, tearing the pieces into bite-sized bits. If you like dark meat, include it, but I save it for flavouring instant soups. That means I use 2-3 cups of White Meat for the recipe.
- When onion/garlic/mushroom mixture is softened, add chicken, cream of chicken soup, the sour cream, milk, wine, herbs and frozen vegetables to skillet. If you plan on making this NOW, heat until very hot, but not boiling. If you plan on having it later, heat until just warm and flavours are allowed to mingle, then stick mixture in frig, in skillet.
- When you're ready to make this, spray an 11" x 7" oven-proof pan with non-stick spray. Heat oven to 375 degrees or what biscuit directions state on package. Heat mixture until very hot, pour into casserole dish.
- Melt butter in a deep bowl with Italian Seasonings. Open package of rolls and place on top of chicken mixture. Brush rolls with the melted butter/herb mixture.
- Bake in oven for 15-25 minutes until ROLLS ARE DONE and mixture is bubbling. My baking time was 18 minutes.
- Scoop one biscuit out onto deep bowl or rimmed plate and spoon chicken sauce either around it or directly over it.

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.

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.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. When the butter is hot, add the garlic and saute for 1 minute or until it is golden. Add the onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, thyme and sage and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In another saucepan, melt the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add the flour and mix well. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until pale golden. Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring with a wire whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes, then add to the vegetable mixture, along with the peas, corn and chicken. Return to a boil, remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve the pies, fill heated bowls with the chicken mixture and top with puff-pastry lids. To eat, place the puff pastry on a heated plate, punch in the center with the back of a large spoon and pour the contents of the bowl over the puff pastry.

COMPANY CHICKEN POT PIE
This is a wonderful Pot Pie. I have tried many, many recipes out there and finally came up with this. Prep time does not include Pie Crust. I used a Pillsbury refrigerated crust and it turned out wonderful. You can also use leftover chicken which will cut the prep time way down. Hope you enjoy this recipe. Also, use whatever seasonings your family likes, next time I'm going to add tarragon, yummy. See, this is still a work in progress but I'm thinking this was pretty close to being IT for me. lol.

Steps:
- Poach chicken in chicken broth and seasoning for approximately 20 - 30 minutes or until juices run clear, turning over half way through cooking time in medium size pot, cool and chop into cubes, set aside.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Place 1 crust in ungreased pie pan (I used a deep dish ceramic pie pan).
- Melt butter over medium low heat in medium size sauce pan, whisk in flour and seasonings cook until creamy and bubbly, slowly whisk in broth and cream and heat until boiling stirring constantly. Boil for a minute or 2. TASTE (this is where you want to adjust seasoning according to your familys taste. Fold in chopped chicken and veggies until fully smothered with the yummy sauce.
- Pour into pastry lined pan and place second pie crust over filling. Press bottom and top pastries together around edges to seal the crust together so the filling doesn't seep out while baking. Make what ever kind of edges you like.
- Cut a couple of slits in top of crust to allow steam to escape so the crust will bake on top of filling. Don't forget to do this, you don't want your filling to end up with a space between it and the pie crust.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 35 - 45 minutes. (Check at 30 minutes to see if you need to put foil over top to reduce excessive browning).
- Let sit for 15 minutes or so to set the filling.

SKILLET CHICKEN POTPIE
Using store-bought puff pastry instead of homemade pie crust for a chicken potpie might seem like cheating, but rest assured it's for the best, adding shatteringly flaky layers that even the best pie crust lacks. This recipe calls for bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs, so that the chicken fat rendered from searing can serve as the base of the gravy. But for a weeknight-friendly version, shredded rotisserie chicken can be used instead. Just use a tablespoon or two of butter to replace the fat. (A note about store-bought puff pastry: No two brands are the same size, but know that all you need is to cover the surface of the skillet. If it's larger than expected, feel free to trim or crimp the edges like a pie, and if it seems too small or is a strange shape, simply roll the pastry on a lightly floured surface to increase its dimensions.)

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or other heavy bottom skillet) over medium heat. Sear chicken, skin-side down, until deeply golden brown and some of the fat has begun to render out, 5 to 8 minutes. Rotate chicken and continue to cook on all sides until evenly browned and cooked through, an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken, keeping all the drippings in the skillet, and let cool slightly on a plate.
- To the drippings, add carrots, celery, garlic, onion and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender and just cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add flour and stir to coat all the vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until the flour has started to turn a light golden brown with no white, floury bits left, about 3 minutes.
- Slowly add the chicken broth or stock ½ cup at a time, using a wooden spoon to blend and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Once all the broth or stock is added, bring to a simmer and remove from heat.
- Remove the bones and skin from the chicken and shred the meat and skin (discard any skin that is too thick or rubbery) into bite-size pieces or, alternatively, cut it with a knife and fork into bite-size pieces. (If you discover at this stage any pieces of chicken that are not completely cooked through, don't worry; they will finish cooking in the oven.) Add the peas, parsley and chicken and season once more with salt and pepper.
- Carefully unfold the puff pastry and working quickly, place it on top of the skillet (do not worry about it being a perfect circle), letting some of the dough hang off the sides (this will keep it from shrinking too much).
- Whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon of water and brush onto the top of the puff pastry. Cut three 2½-inch slits, about 1-inch apart and place the skillet on top of the sheet pan to catch any drips in the oven.
- Bake until puff pastry is golden brown on top and filling is starting to bubble up, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375 degrees and continue to cook until puff pastry is baked through all the way and filling has thickened considerably, another 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before eating.

Tips:
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to ensure that the chicken pot pie filling has enough space to bubble and thicken.
- Sear the chicken pieces in a separate pan before adding them to the pot pie filling. This will help to brown the chicken and add flavor to the dish.
- Add plenty of vegetables to the chicken pot pie filling. This will help to make the dish more nutritious and flavorful. Some good vegetables to use include carrots, celery, onions, and peas.
- Use a thickener, such as flour or cornstarch, to help the chicken pot pie filling thicken. This will prevent the filling from being too runny.
- Top the chicken pot pie with a flaky pie crust. You can either make your own pie crust or use a store-bought one.
- Bake the chicken pot pie in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Conclusion:
Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a family meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful chicken pot pie that everyone will love.
