Time 1h23m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 cups roasted, shredded rotisserie chicken
1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, chopped
3 small stalks celery, cut crosswise 1/4-inch thick
2 cups chicken broth
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
⅓ cup butter
9 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ cup dry sherry or white wine
Salt and ground pepper
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 (16 ounce) package frozen peas and carrots, not thawed

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to low-center position; heat oven to 400 degrees. If using whole rotisserie chickens, separate meat from skin and bones, and tear into bite-size pieces. Discard skin and bones. Then remove pie dough from its box and follow directions for bringing to room temperature.
  • Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and celery; saute until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl along with the chicken; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, microwave chicken broth and milk in a microwave-safe bowl until steamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Heat butter over medium heat in the empty pan. When foaming subsides, whisk in flour and thyme; cook until golden, about 1 minute. Whisk in hot milk mixture. Bring to simmer, then continue to simmer until sauce fully thickens, about1 minute. Turn off heat, stir in sherry or wine, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Stir chicken mixture, parsley and the peas and carrots into the sauce. Divide mixture between two 9-inch deep-dish pie plates. Top each with pie dough, and flute crust by pinching with your fingers. Set on a baking sheet and bake until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. (Optional: Wrap second potpie in freezer wrap and freeze for a later meal. Remove wrapping, place potpie on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees until golden and bubbly, about 1 hour.)

1/2 stick butter
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cups half-and-half

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 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups shredded cooked chicken
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo pasta sauce
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Southern Homestyle Original Biscuits (8 Count)

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your potpie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peas, corn, and green beans.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. A homemade pie crust is always best, but you can also use a store-bought pie crust if you are short on time.
  • Don't skimp on the gravy. The gravy is what really makes the potpie. Make sure to use a good quality broth and plenty of butter and flour.
  • Let the potpie cool slightly before serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Golden chicken potpie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a family dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying potpie on the table in no time.
