Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 refrigerated 9-inch pie crusts, at room temperature, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
⅔ cup chicken broth
⅓ cup butter
1 clove garlic, minced
⅓ medium onion, diced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
⅔ cup milk
1 (8 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place 1 pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Poke several holes in the bottom of the crust.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of chicken breasts with rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add chicken to the skillet and saute until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add 2/3 cup chicken broth. Simmer, being careful not to overcook, just until chicken juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, allowing it to cool until the juices settle, about 15 minutes. Reserve pan drippings.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pan drippings and garlic. Saute until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion, salt, and pepper and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Whisk in flour until mixture thickens.
  • Add 1 3/4 cups chicken broth and milk, 1 cup of liquid at a time, whisking constantly. Remove from heat once mixture begins to thicken.
  • Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and mix with thawed vegetables and broth mixture until combined. Pour into the pre-baked pie crust. Cut slits in the remaining pie crust and place it on top of the pie, crimping the edges to seal and decorating them with tongs or a fork, if desired.
  • Place pot pie in the oven and bake until crust is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Check edges halfway through baking time and cover them with aluminum foil if they start to brown too much.

CHICKEN POT PIE



Chicken Pot Pie image

This classic chicken pot pie takes no shortcuts. The homemade dough leans into the savory side of this pie with the addition of fresh herbs. Make your own fortified stock by poaching the chicken in your already homemade stock, or stock from a butcher store. This creates an intensified chicken flavor in the base of the pie filling. Let your pie filling cool down before topping with the dough, this helps to prevent any gummy texture on the bottom of the crust.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 to 4 tablespoons ice water
1 large egg
5 cloves garlic, 2 crushed and 3 minced
1 fresh bay leaf
1 wide strip lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts and thighs (about 2 breasts and 2 thighs)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 russet potato, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Combine the flour, sugar, salt, thyme and chives in a food processor and pulse a few times to evenly combine. Add the butter and pulse 7 or 8 times until the butter is in pea-size bits. Add the vinegar and 2 tablespoons ice water and pulse just until the dough starts to come together into a ball. (Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons ice water if the dough is too dry.) Form the dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you make the filling, at least 1 hour.
  • Make the filling: Pile the 2 crushed garlic cloves, bay leaf, lemon peel, peppercorns and coriander seeds on a square of cheesecloth. Bring the corners together to form a pouch and tie with a piece of kitchen twine.
  • Combine the chicken, chicken broth and cheesecloth pouch in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate using tongs. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl; discard the cheesecloth pouch. Wipe out the saucepan; return the strained broth to the pan and keep at a very gentle simmer over low heat. Shred the chicken using 2 forks.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the potato, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook until the potato is slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and the thyme and cook until softened, 1 minute. Add the vinegar and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour until the vegetables are evenly coated. Pour in 1 3/4 cups of the strained chicken broth (save the rest for another use). Bring to a gentle boil and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Add the shredded chicken, parsley and peas and stir to combine and heat through; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the filling to a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate and let cool until no longer steaming, about 20 minutes.
  • Bake the pot pie: Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough into an 11-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Place it over the filling. Roll the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges with your fingers. Cut vents in the top of the dough. Beat the egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush the crust all over with the egg wash. Place the pot pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the crust is a deep golden brown, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool 20 minutes before serving.

Provided by USA WEEKEND Pam Anderson

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Savory Pie Recipes     Pot Pie Recipes     Chicken Pot Pie Recipes

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.)
