Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     UK and Ireland     Irish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
1 (4 pound) whole chicken, deboned and cut into bite size pieces
4 slices cooked ham
4 leeks, chopped
1 onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch ground mace
1 ¼ cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon milk
½ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish, layer the chicken, ham, leeks and onion a couple of times each until the dish is full. Season each layer with a little salt, pepper and mace. Pour the chicken stock over the layers, and dampen the edges of the dish.
  • Roll the pie pastry out large enough to cover the top of the dish, and place over the top. Crimp the sides down with a fork, and trim the excess from the edges. Cut a round hole in the center of the pastry. Roll dough scraps out and cut into strips. Use the strips to form a design, and place lightly over the hole. Brush the entire top with milk.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken is cooked through. If the top crust is getting too brown, cover it with parchment or aluminum foil. While the pie is baking, heat the cream over low heat. When the pie is cooked, remove from the oven, and carefully remove the design from the hole. Pour the cream into the hole, and replace the design. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for Making Irish Chicken:

  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Start with free-range, organic chicken for the best flavor and texture. Opt for fresh, pesticide-free vegetables and herbs.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with seasonings. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to enhance the natural flavors of the chicken.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Overcooking can dry out the meat and make it tough.
  • Use a Dutch Oven or Braising Pan: These heavy-bottomed pots are ideal for braising, as they distribute heat evenly and prevent scorching.
  • Brown the Chicken First: Browning the chicken before braising adds depth of flavor and color. You can do this in a separate skillet or directly in the Dutch oven.
  • Add Vegetables and Herbs: Carrots, celery, onions, and garlic are classic additions to Irish chicken stew. You can also add other vegetables like potatoes, parsnips, or turnips.
  • Use a Good Quality Stout: Guinness is the traditional stout used in Irish chicken stew, but you can use any dark, flavorful stout you like.
  • Simmer for at Least 1 Hour: The longer you simmer the stew, the more tender the chicken and vegetables will become. Aim for at least 1 hour, but you can simmer for up to 2 hours.
  • Serve with Mashed Potatoes or Crusty Bread: Irish chicken stew is traditionally served with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Irish chicken stew is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its tender chicken, savory vegetables, and rich stout gravy, this stew is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Enjoy!
