CHICKEN POTPIE WITH CHEDDAR CRUST



Chicken Potpie With Cheddar Crust image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 5 ounces)
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
1 3 1/2-to-4-pound roasted or rotisserie chicken
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped
5 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
6 stalks celery, chopped
6 carrots, chopped
Kosher salt
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps sliced
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
2/3 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Pulse the flour, fine salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor. Add the cheese, butter and shortening; pulse until the butter is in pea-size bits. Add 1/2 cup ice water and pulse until the dough just starts to come together. Turn out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Discard the chicken skin and shred the meat; set aside. Put the bones in a pot and add the chicken broth. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Strain the broth and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Melt the butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, thyme, celery, carrots and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; cook, stirring, until soft, about 6 minutes. Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and cook until soft, about 6 more minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add the wine; cook until almost evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the broth, cream and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until thick, about 3 minutes. Add the parsley, shredded chicken, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a 3-to-4-quart baking dish.
  • Roll out the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper until slightly larger than the baking dish. Drape the dough over the filling, press it against the inside of the dish and trim. Brush with cream, then cut a few slits in the top. Put on a baking sheet; bake until golden, about 35 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Time 1h30m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut in 1-inch cubes
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 medium onions, peeled and diced
3 cups carrots, cut into 1/4-inch dice
3 ribs celery, diced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
8 cups shiitake mushrooms in 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups water
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 eggs, separated
1 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
2 large scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For the pie, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken and sear until browned, about 5 minutes. Place in a 12-by-3 1/2-inch round clay casserole dish. Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the skillet and brown the remaining chicken. Place in the dish. Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
  • Place 2 teaspoons of oil in the skillet, lower the heat slightly and add the onions, carrots, celery and jalapenos. Saute for 8 minutes. Add 1 cup of broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes. Stir the vegetable mixture into the chicken. Stir in the remaining broth, cumin, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoons of salt and pepper. Stir 1/4 cup of the stew liquid into the flour, then stir the mixture back into the stew. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. To make the spoon-bread crust, bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the salt. Whisking constantly, pour the cornmeal in a slow, steady stream. Whisk for 20 seconds and remove from the heat. Place in a large bowl, mix in the butter and let cool. In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, baking powder and pepper. Gradually stir the egg mixture into the cornmeal mixture. Stir in the cheese and scallions. Whip the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold into the cornmeal mixture. Spread the spoon bread over the chicken mixture and bake until the bread is cooked through, about 45 minutes. Serve hot.

SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN POT PIE



Southwestern Chicken Pot Pie image

Mmmmmmmmm, really delish and a comfort food for dh and I. Easy to prepare, not much time involved. My dh showed me this in our state daily newspaper and said he'd like for me to try it. I did and fix it alot now. I serve it with warm flour tortilla's w/butter and sometimes warmed nacho chips and salsa. It's very filling and if we don't want it the next day, I have frozen it with success. Also, I have used a can of green chilis instead of the adobo seasoning and think you could spice it as hot as you want with jalepenos. We just don't do hot or really spicy. Also, the last time I only had cheddar cheese and it turned out fine, but it is better with the monterey jack/cheddar blend. Thanks for trying one of our favorite dinners!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use a Large Baking Dish: This recipe makes a lot of filling, so you'll need a large baking dish to accommodate it all. A 9x13 inch dish is a good option.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: The chicken should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: This recipe calls for a variety of vegetables, including corn, black beans, and bell peppers. Feel free to add other vegetables that you like, such as zucchini, squash, or spinach.
  • Make the Spoon Bread Crust Ahead of Time: The spoon bread crust can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will save you time on the day you're making the pie.
  • Let the Pie Cool Before Serving: The pie needs to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Conclusion:

This Southwestern Chicken Pie with Cheddar Spoon Bread Crust is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pie is filled with a flavorful chicken and vegetable filling, and the cheddar spoon bread crust is a delicious and unique twist on the classic pie crust.
