Best 4 Made From Scratch Chicken Pot Pie Recipes

BEST HOMEMADE CHICKEN POT PIE RECIPE (FROM SCRATCH)

Steps:

• Add flour, sea salt, sugar, butter and ice cold water to the container of a food processor fitted with the "S" blade.
• Process until coarse crumbs form.
• Dump the dough mixture out onto a work surface and form it into a ball. Then divide it into two equal portions and form those portions into two discs.
• Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
• After crust has chilled and you are ready to make the chicken pot pie:
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, onion powder, garlic powder, garlic salt and pepper.
• Add milk and whisk until combined, set aside.
• In a 4-quart pan over medium heat, boil water.
• Add chicken bouillon and whisk until dissolved.
• Add milk/dry ingredient mixture to boiling water/bouillon, whisk to combine.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick (about 3 minutes).
• Remove from heat, cover and set aside.
• Add potatoes, 2 TBS butter and garlic and water to a large, nonstick saucepan and cover. Cook covered for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally.
• Add carrots, onion, celery and additional 2 TBS butter. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, or until soft, stirring occasionally.
• Add peas, corn, chicken and sauce. Stir until combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Roll out both discs of dough.
• Fit one disc to the bottom of the pie plate. Roll out the second to be used as the top.
• Place bottom dough into the pie plate.
• Put filling on top of the crust.
• Add the other crust on top, pinch the edges together and cut an "X" in the top.
• Whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream.
• Brush it all over the crust with a pastry brush.
• Use a pie crust shield to protect the outer crust.
• Bake at 425 for 30 - 35 minutes on the lower rack of your oven, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Remove the pie crush shield in the last 5 minutes of baking if the outer crust is not browning.
• Remove from the oven and place the chicken pot pie on a wire cooling rack. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

CLASSIC POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat, then add the onion, carrots, and celery. Stir them around until the onions start to turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the chicken or turkey and then sprinkle the flour over the top and stir it until it's all combined with the turkey and vegetables. Cook for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth (and wine if using) and stir it around and let it cook and thicken.
• Once it starts to thicken add the turmeric, salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Add the half-and-half or cream, then stir the mixture and let it bubble up and thicken, about 3 minutes. If it seems overly thick, splash in a little more broth. Turn off the heat.
• Pour the filling into a 2-quart baking dish. Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and lay it over the top of the dish. Press the dough so that the edges stick to the outside of the pan. Use a knife to cut little vents here and there in the surface of the dough.
• Mix together the egg with 2 tablespoons water and brush it all over the surface of the crust. (You will have some egg wash left over.)
• Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbly. To prevent the crust from getting too brown, you might want to cover it lightly with foil for the first 15 minutes of baking time.
• Serve up servings by the (big ol') spoonful!

HOMEMADE CHICKEN POT PIE

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.

• Place one crust in the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Add filling and place second crust on top. Press crusts together to seal around the edges and use fingers to crimp the dough. Cut small slits in the top and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Tent the edges with foil while baking if they become too brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
