Best 6 Roasted Chicken Pot Pie Recipes

ROASTED CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Combine the flour, butter, Parmesan and a pinch of salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the pastry blade. Pulse a few times until the mixture resembles fine gravel. Add up to 8 tablespoons of ice water, a few tablespoons at a time, until the dough comes together and forms a ball. Remove from the food processor and form the dough into a disk; wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until ready to use.
• For the roast chicken: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a large bowl, slather the chicken with the olive oil and sprinkle with the granulated garlic, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Set the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan and roast until the skin is golden and crispy and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reaches 165 degrees F, 45 to 60 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• When cool enough to handle, remove the skin, pull the meat from the bones and tear it into bite-size pieces (you need 4 cups of the meat for the pie).
• For the filling: Heat the butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, add the onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a dash of pepper and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots, fennel and parsnip and cook until the vegetables are brightly colored, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and when fragrant, stir in the flour. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the sherry and scrape up any bits stuck to the pan. When the liquid has almost evaporated, stir in the chicken stock and milk and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, add more chicken stock to reach the desired consistency. Remove from the heat and stir in the chicken, peas, parsley, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• To assemble: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle, about 15 inches long by 11 inches wide. If using individual ramekins, cut 6 circles in the shape of the ramekins plus an extra 1-inch overhang. If using a 9-by-13-inch pan or similar-sized shallow baking dish, cut to that shape plus an extra 1-inch overhang.
• Pour the filling into the ramekins or pan. Lay the dough over the filling and trim to 1/2 inch from the edge. Fold the overhang under itself to create a lip around the edge and use your fingers to flute the edges, or use the tines of a fork to create an attractive edge. Alternatively, simply tuck the overhang dough into the side of the pan. Cut a 1-inch vent hole in each small pie or four to six 1-inch vent holes in a large pie.
• In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Lightly brush the pie crust with the beaten egg.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 45 to 50 minutes for small pies and about 60 minutes for a large pie.

ROASTED CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Roast the Chicken& Vegetables: Preheat oven to 375º.
• Rub chicken with 1 T olive oil& sprinkle generously, inside& out, with salt& pepper.
• Toss potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, mushrooms,& herbs with remaining 2 T olive oil& some salt& pepper.
• Set the chicken breast-side down in a large flameproof roasting pan& scatter the vegetables around the chicken.
• Roast for 1 1/4 hours, stirring vegetables several times.
• Remove chicken form the pan to cool.
• Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon& set aside in a bowl with the peas.
• Don't clean out the roasting pan.
• When the chicken has cooled (at least 15 minutes) pull the meat form the bones, discarding skin& bones.
• Cut meat into small chunks (1/2" to 1") & set aside (do this after the sauce is made or while someone else is making the sauce).
• Make the Sauce: If there are not a lot of juices & fat in the pan, skip to step 15.
• If there are, pour the fat & juices into a measuring cup or gravy separator; separate the fat from the juice.
• Add juices to the chicken stock& add enough butter to the fat to make 6 T total fat & butter.
• Put the roasting pan (which should still have caramelized bits in it from the chicken& vegetables) on the stove over medium heat.
• Pour in the 6 T fat+butter; when melted & bubbling, add flour & stir constantly to make a smooth roux.
• Scrape up any caramelized bits.
• Cook the roux, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add the stock, bring to a boil,& simmer.
• Continue to stir & scrape the bottom of the pan.
• Cook the sauce for at least 15 minutes, whisking occasionally, until it is as thick as heavy cream.
• Season with salt, pepper,& more herbs to taste.
• Make the Egg Wash: Whisk together the egg yolk& cream.
• Set aside.
• Assemble the Pot Pie (s): Preheat oven to 400º.
• Choose 4 ovenproof bowls (18 oz each) OR a 2-qt casserole.
• Cut out a circle template of foil or paper that is about the size of the rim of each bowl or casserole.
• Divide the chicken, vegetables,& sauce among the dishes.
• Place on a baking sheet (to catch any drips in the oven).
• For individual pies: On a floured board, cut the dough into 4 pieces.
• Quickly roll out each piece into a larger circle than the circle template (the extra dough will drape down the sides of the bowls).
• Remember to work quickly so the butter in the pastry doesn't start to melt- you may need to sprinkle dough to keep the pastry from sticking.
• As each one is rolled out, place on top of the filled bowls, pressing along the edges.
• For one large pie, lay the dough on a floured board& roll out to a the same shape, but larger than, the casserole template (the extra dough will drape down the side).
• Remember to work fast so the butter in the pastry doesn't start to melt- you may need to sprinkle dough to keep the pastry from sticking.
• Lay the dough on top of the filled casserole& press along the edges.
• Brush the Egg Wash onto the pastry with a pastry brush.
• You do not need to make any vent holes- steam will escape along the edges of the pastry.
• Bake for 30 to 55 minutes, until the crust is thoroughly browned& puffed.
• NOTES: Advance Preparation: The Puff Pastry and the filling (chicken, vegetables,& sauce mixed together) can be made 1 to 2 days ahead of time& refrigerated.
• The Puff can even be frozen for a few weeks.

TO-DIE-FOR CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a baking sheet on the a rack on which you'll bake the pie.
• Combine the carrots, celery, peas, green beans, corn, onion, red potatoes, and chicken broth in a large pot. Season the vegetable mixture with thyme, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the vegetables and set aside.
• Place dry chicken gravy mix into another saucepan and gradually whisk in the water until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Set gravy aside and allow to continue to thicken as it cools.
• Press one of the pie crusts into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon a layer of gravy (about 1/3 cup) into the crust. Layer the cooked vegetables and shredded chicken into the crust until the filling is level with the top of the pie dish. Pour the rest of the gravy slowly over the filling until gravy is visible at the top. Scatter butter pieces over the filling; top with second crust. Seal the 2 crusts together and crimp with a fork.
• Whisk the egg and milk together in a bowl, and brush the egg wash over the top crust. Pierce the top crust several times to vent steam.
• Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check periodically to see if the edge of the crust is browning too quickly; if needed, cover the edge with a strip of aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.

CHICKEN-TARRAGON POT PIE

Steps:

• To make the crust, combine flour, butter, shortening, salt and sugar in a food processor. Pulse together just until the mixture is crumbly and butter is broken into small pieces. Pour 1/3 cup ice water into the machine, and pulse 3 or 4 times. Squeeze a little dough in your hand to see whether it clumps together and is evenly moist. If not, add another tablespoon of water, and pulse 1 or 2 times more. Don't overmix so that the dough forms a ball.
• Turn out dough on a large sheet of plastic wrap. Lift ends of plastic to gather dough together inside. Press into a large disk, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 2 days.
• To make the filling, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrot, celery, leeks and tarragon, and cook, stirring, just until slightly softened but not browned (reduce the heat if necessary to prevent browning), about 3 minutes. Transfer cooked vegetables to a bowl, wipe out the skillet, and place it back on the stove.
• Add remaining 3 tablespoons butter, and melt over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook, whisking, until the mixture bubbles and smells cooked. Do not let it brown. Whisk in 2 cups broth, and cook, whisking, 1 minute. Whisk in cream, and cook 2 or 3 minutes, just until thickened. Add salt and pepper. If the sauce is too thick, whisk in remaining broth.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Add cooked vegetables and peas, chicken and sauce to 8-inch deep pie dish or other baking dish, mix gently, and taste for seasoning.
• Flour a work surface. Remove dough from refrigerator. Roll out the dough, turning and flouring often, and cut a shape approximately the size of your baking dish plus 1 1/2 inches overlap all around.
• Roll dough up onto the rolling pin, and unroll over dish, so it rests evenly on top of filling. Fold the edges under and crimp. Poke tip of knife through crust to create 3 vent holes near the center. Whisk the egg with a teaspoon of cold water. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the entire crust with egg wash. Place on cookie sheet, and place in oven.
• Bake 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375 degrees. Bake 25 to 30 minutes more, until crust is golden and filling is bubbling through vents. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
