Best 5 Family Style Chicken Pot Pie Tyler Florence Recipes

FAMILY-STYLE CHICKEN POT-PIE (TYLER FLORENCE)

Steps:

• Note: I used my leftover turkey stock and just added pepper.
• I didn't use any of the herbs or lemon.
• To make the pastry:.
• Food Processor method: Pulse the butter, salt, flour in processor until size of small peas. Add water and do slow pulses until just combined.
• Or use Tyler's from scratch method:.
• Combine the flour and salt in a very large mixing bowl.
• Add the butter and mix with a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Pour in the ice water and work it in to bind the dough until it holds together without being too wet or sticky.
• Squeeze a small amount together, if it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Wrap the large ball of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing the rest of the recipe (feel free to make the dough the night before if you prefer.).
• To make the pot pie filling.
• Use a large stockpot and heat over medium-low heat.
• Melt the butter and just as the foam subsides, add the flour, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk to prevent lumps.
• This is a roux, which will act as a thickener.
• Cook and stir the roux for one minute, to cook the raw flour taste out, stirring constantly.
• Now, gradually pour in chicken broth, whisking the entire time to prevent lumps.
• Whisk and simmer for 10 minutes to cook out the starchy taste of the flour and thicken the broth; it should look like cream of chicken soup.
• Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the shredded chicken, veggies, lemon juice, thyme, salt and pepper to taste until incorporated, remove from the heat and cool to room temperature; it will get quite thick as it cools down.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Take the dough out of the refrigerator and set it out on the counter for 5 minutes to warm up a bit, making it easier to roll out.
• Sprinkle the counter and a rolling pin lightly with flour.
• Roll the dough out into a big 14 by 20-inch rectangle.
• (Dough is pliable. I made my dough 2 days in advance and chilled in refrigerator in plastic bag. Let sit out about 10 minutes to soften up before rolling out.).
• Carefully transfer the dough to a large rectangular pizza stone or standard sheet pan, leaving about 1 foot of the pastry hanging off 1 end.
• (Make sure your dough FITS on your pan and in the oven before going any further!).
• Spoon the cooled chicken filling on the pastry that is on the pizza stone, leaving a border around the sides.
• Lightly beat the egg with 3 tablespoons of water to make an egg wash and brush it on the dough border.
• Fold the"free" dough over the filling like a blanket and crimp the ends with a fork to form a tight seal; it should look like a big pillow.
• Brush the top of the giant chicken pie with the remaining egg wash, sprinkle with the coarse salt, and cut tiny slashes in the top so steam can escape.
• Place the chicken pie in the oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until puffed and golden.
• Let the chicken pie rest for 10 minutes before moving it.
• Run a spatula underneath the pot pie to loosen it from the pizza stone.

CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Put the chicken in a large stockpot and cover with 1 gallon of cool water. Add the vegetables and herbs and bring the pot up to a boil over medium-high heat. Skim well; then simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes, skimming frequently as the oil rises to the surface. What we're doing here is not only cooking the chicken but also creating the base sauce for the pot pie. Remove the chicken to a platter to cool. Continue to cook down the chicken broth for another 15 minutes to condense the flavor; you should have about 8 cups when you're finished. Using a colander, strain the chicken broth into another pot and discard the solids. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the meat and discard the skin and bones.
• Wipe out the stockpot and put it back on the stovetop over medium heat. Melt the butter and then whisk in the flour to form a paste. This is a roux, which will act as a thickener. Now, gradually pour in 8 cups of the chicken broth, whisking the entire time to prevent lumps. Whisk and simmer for 10 minutes to cook out the starchy taste of the flour and thicken the broth; it should look like cream of chicken soup. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the shredded chicken, carrots, pearl onions, peas, and parsley. Stir to combine and turn off the heat.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lay the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured, cool surface. Invert individual crocks on the pastry sheet and, using a sharp knife, cut circles around the outside of the bowls, slightly larger than the bowl itself. Fill the crocks 3/4 of the way with the chicken mixture, making sure each serving has a nice amount of chicken, vegetables, and broth. Carefully cap each crock with a pastry circle, pressing the dough around the rim to form a seal. Lightly beat the egg with 3 tablespoons of water to make an egg wash and brush some on the pastry. Sprinkle the pastry with the Parmigiano. Set the crocks on a cookie sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, until puffed and golden.

FAMILY SIZED CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a pot over low heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring, for 10 minutes. Add the garlic; cook 2 minutes more. Sprinkle with the flour and tarragon; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Add the carrots, potatoes, apple, and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook, partially covered, until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add the peas, dill, and chicken; season to taste with salt and pepper, then cook 5 minutes more.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Spoon the mixture into a 2-quart round ovenproof casserole. On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry out to form a circle 2 inches larger than the casserole. Lay the pastry over the top, trim the overhang to 1 inch, and crimp the edges around the rim to seal. Cut several slits in the pastry to release the steam, then brush with remaining egg wash. Bake until crust is golden, 40 to 45 minutes.
