Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

AP flour, to roll dough, plus a couple round tablespoons for filling/sauce
1 pack puff pastry dough, DuFour preferred brand
1 large egg
1 onion
1 small to medium potato
2 small ribs celery with leafy tops
1 carrot
1 leek
1 apple, such as Gala or Honeycrisp
3 tablespoons butter
1 large fresh bay leaf
A small bundle of parsley and thyme, tied
Salt and white pepper or fine black pepper
A little freshly grated nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon
About 3 cups chicken stock
1 rotisserie chicken, about 3 pounds
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
About a tablespoon of heavy cream or creme fraiche
Juice of 1/2 a lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Have rack 1 rung up from center in oven.
  • Gather your ingredients.
  • Lightly flour work surface and roll out dough a bit; cut into 4 to 6 portions (I cut rectangles to keep it easy and based on how many people I'm feeding). Cut a small hole in center of each piece of dough with a 1-inch round or heart shaped cookie cutter, or freehand cut some slits or designs with tip of sharp small knife. Using a fork, beat an egg in a small dish with a splash of water. Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment and arrange dough pieces. Brush dough with egg wash and bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 22 minutes.
  • Peel and chop the onion and potato. Halve the celery and carrot lengthwise and chop. Halve the leek, trim top tough greens and roots and run under cold water while fanning the leek to release grit. Shake the leek of excess water and thinly slice. Peel and slice planks off the apple around the core, then stack and dice 1/4 inch.
  • Heat a Dutch oven or large deep skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Melt butter and when it foams add the onion, potato, celery, leek, apple, bay and herb bundle and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook to soften, 8 to 10 minutes, partially covered and stirring occasionally. Add flour and stir a minute. Add stock and whisk in to thicken a bit.
  • Separate the chicken from the bones and skin and pull meat. Add to sauce to reheat. Remove bay and herbs. Remove chicken from heat and stir in Dijon mustard, cream and lemon juice.
  • Serve the chicken and vegetables in bowls and top with pastry.

MODERN CHICKEN POTPIE



Modern Chicken Potpie image

Here's a radical notion: chicken potpie does not have to be filled with goopy white sauce, carrots and peas. Traditional recipes are long on starch and richness, short on flavor. This updated version is savory with chicken stock, herbs, and wine (no white sauce needed), easier to make, and still familiar. Use thigh meat, for more taste and better texture than breast. And vegetables should be served separately, not forcemarched into the filling. Roasted carrots, peas with mint and buttered steamed asparagus are all nice to serve alongside chicken potpie.

Categories     dinner, pies and tarts, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 garlic clove, peeled and smashed
6 ounces bacon or pancetta, preferably thick-cut, sliced into strips
1 medium onion, chopped
8 ounces mushrooms, such as button or cremini, thickly sliced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and ground black pepper
1 pound boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 cups rich chicken stock
1/4 cup Marsala, Madeira or sherry
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley, more for garnish
1 9-inch pie crust, chilled, or 1 sheet puff pastry
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Heat oil and garlic together over low heat. When it sizzles, add bacon and onions and cook, stirring often, until fat is rendered and bacon is golden brown. Adjust the heat so the bacon slowly gives up its fat. Remove garlic clove and add mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms are browned and slightly softened.
  • In a sealable plastic bag, combine flour, thyme, paprika, 2 large pinches salt and 1 large pinch pepper. Add chicken and shake well to coat.
  • In the skillet with the bacon and mushrooms, add butter and melt over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and any flour that remains in the bag. Cook, stirring, until chicken pieces are golden and the flour on the bottom of the pan is browned. Pour in stock, Marsala and vinegar. Scrape bottom of pan, and let simmer about 5 minutes, until thickened. Taste for salt, pepper and vinegar and adjust the seasonings. Turn off heat and stir in parsley.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Transfer chicken and sauce to 9-inch round pie dish or 8-inch square baking dish. Roll out pie crust to desired shape and size. Drape crust over filling, making a few slits or decorative holes on top. Tuck edges down around filling and brush crust with egg wash. If the dish is piled high with filling, place on a baking sheet to catch any overflow before transferring to oven.
  • Bake until crust is browned and filling is bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly, at least 10 minutes, before serving with a big spoon. If desired, garnish each serving with parsley.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM POTPIES



Chicken and Mushroom Potpies image

If you're thinking you want comfort food for dinner tonight, try this classic version of chicken potpie, which keeps the usual pate brisee crust but adds mushrooms to the mix. Smoky bacon adds extra flavor to the filling.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 2h15m

Yield Makes eight 4-inch potpies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 ounces bacon, finely chopped
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
6 ounces cremini mushrooms, quartered
3 medium carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken stock
2 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast halves and thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 disk Pate Brisee
All-purpose flour, for surface
1 large egg, lightly beaten for egg wash

Steps:

  • Make the filling: Cook bacon in a large saucepan over low heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate using a slotted spoon. Raise heat to medium, and add oil. Add onion, and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add mushrooms, carrots, and celery, and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in flour.
  • Add stock, and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cream. Simmer until chicken is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Return bacon to saucepan. Let cool.
  • Divide filling among eight 4-inch (12 ounce) ramekins.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the topping: Roll out pate brisee to a 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out 8 circles that are 1 inch wider than the ramekins. Top ramekins with dough, and crimp edges with a fork to seal. Brush dough with egg wash. Freeze for 20 minutes.
  • Bake until toppings are golden and fillings are bubbling, about 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Make your own pie crust: Although store-bought pie crusts are convenient, making your own from scratch will give your potpies a more homemade flavor and texture.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just carrots and celery. Try adding other vegetables like peas, corn, green beans, or broccoli.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken can be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
  • Thicken the sauce: If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (a mixture of cornstarch and water) to the pot. Just be sure to stir it constantly so that it doesn't clump.
  • Top with a flaky crust: The best potpies have a flaky, golden-brown crust. To achieve this, brush the crust with an egg wash (a mixture of egg and water) before baking.

Conclusion:

Chicken potpie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. With a flaky crust, tender chicken, and a flavorful sauce, it's a dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this makeover chicken potpie recipe a try.
