CURRY CHICKEN POT PIES

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 pies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 stalk celery, diced
1/2 large yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon curry powder, preferably Madras curry powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for the pie crust
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup whole milk
2 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken
1 refrigerated pie crust
1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil and 6 tablespoons of the butter in large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the celery, onions, curry powder and a large pinch of salt and cook until the vegetables are soft and the onions turn translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute, then stir in the peas and carrots. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the chicken broth and milk, whisking to remove any flour lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and stir to combine.
  • Pour the curry chicken into four 10-ounce ramekins or gratin-style bowls.
  • Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll the pie crust large enough to cut 4 circles to fit over the ramekins. Lightly brush the edges of the ramekins with the egg wash. Place the pie crust over the top of the curry chicken, pressing to seal along the edges. Using a sharp paring knife, create a few slits in the top of the pies. Brush the top of the crust with the egg wash.
  • Bake until the crust is a deep golden brown and the pot pies are bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Top with pats of the remaining 2 tablespoons butter right before serving.

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 to 5 tablespoons ice water
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced small (1 1/2 cups)
1/2 head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 cups shredded cooked chicken (15 ounces)

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 2 tablespoons ice water); do not overmix. Form dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour or overnight (or freeze, up to 1 month).
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the filling: In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion and cauliflower and cook until softened, 8 minutes. Add garlic and curry powder and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add flour and stir to coat vegetables. Slowly add broth, whisking constantly until sauce is smooth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in green beans. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in chicken. Pour filling into a 2-quart baking dish.
  • On a floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Place dough over dish and fold overhang inward while pinching to crimp edge. Cut vents in dough. Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling around edge, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

4 cups frozen vegetable mix, peas, carrots
1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 package puff pastry

Steps:

  • Don't be afraid to get creative with your vegetables. You can use any type of vegetables that you like, such as carrots, celery, peas, or corn.
  • If you don't have puff pastry on hand, you can use a pie crust mix or even crescent roll dough.
  • Be sure to egg wash the puff pastry before baking it so that it gets a nice golden brown color.
