Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups chicken broth (enough to cover breasts)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
3 tablespoons butter (yes, 3 tablespoons!)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed (i use green beans, corn, carrots and peas)
2 medium potatoes, cooked and cubed (or 1 can small white potatoes, cubed)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 double crust pie crust
1 egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium high heat, combine the chicken breasts, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
  • Remove the chicken and let cool. Pour the remaining chicken broth mixture into a measuring cup. Let stand; spoon off fat. Add enough canned broth to equal 1 cup if needed. Add half and half to the broth mixture to equal 2 1/2 cups. Cut chicken into 1/2 inch pieces.

Gradually stir in broth mixture and the herbs. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and boils. (you will think this is TOO MUCH liquid, but it's not). Add the chicken and vegetables to the broth and stir to combine. Line a deep pie dish with one of the pastries and pour mixture in, almost to the top.
  • Cover mixture with second pastry, making sure to "seal the edges" by pinching together the top and bottom then pressing against the lip of the dish. Cut a few vent holes in the pastry then brush pastry with beaten egg. Use any leftover scraps from the pastries to make a design on top.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool for 10 minutes and serve.
  • When done, the inside ingredients will be thick and creamy.

Categories     Dinner

Time 5h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 38

1 whole chicken
1 tablespoon kosher salt, divided, plus 2 teaspoons
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 lemon, zested then cut into quarters
1 small yellow onion, quartered
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
1 large yellow onion, quartered
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
1 large carrot, cut into 2 in (5 cm) pieces
1 celery stalk, cut into 2 in (5 cm) pieces
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
5 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh parsley
1 dried bay leaf
water, as needed
3 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 ½ sticks unsalted european-style butter
½ cup ice
½ cup cold water
½ cup vodka
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
1 cup carrot, diced
1 cup baby gold potato, quartered
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ cup all purpose flour
3 cups homemade chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream, room temperature
½ cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon of water
flaky sea salt, for garnish

Steps:

  • Roast the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, including inside the cavity, then season the cavity with 1 tablespoon kosher salt.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic powder, pepper, thyme, lemon zest and 2 teaspoons of kosher salt until well combined. Rub the butter mixture all over the outside of the chicken, including under the skin, making sure to rub the thighs and legs as well as the breast.
  • Add the lemon quarters, onion, and garlic to the cavity of the chicken.
  • To truss the chicken, use a piece of butcher's twine to tie the legs together so the bird holds a nice shape. Tuck the wingtips underneath the breasts so that they fit snugly. Transfer the chicken, breast-side up, to a roasting rack set inside a roasting pan.
  • Roast the chicken for 60-80 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken thigh reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a large cutting board, reserving the juices in the roasting pan. Use a sharp knife to cut the legs and breasts away from the chicken carcass. Remove the skin from the chicken and transfer to the bowl of an Instant Pot, then pull the meat from the bones and shred into ½-inch pieces. Add the bones and carcass to the bowl with the skin. Transfer 4 cups of chicken to an airtight container for the pot pie filling and refrigerate until ready to use. Save any remaining chicken in a separate airtight container for another use; it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Make the chicken stock: Add the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, peppercorns, thyme, parsley, and bay leaf to the Instant Pot bowl with the chicken skin, bones, and carcass. Pour in enough water to cover the chicken by 1 inch, then add the reserved chicken juices.
  • Put the lid on the Instant Pot and set to pressure cook on high for 45 minutes. Once the timer goes off, turn the Instant Pot to quick release. Strain the chicken stock into a large bowl and discard the solids. Set aside 3 cups of stock at room temperature for the pot pie filling. Transfer the remaining chicken stock to an airtight container and save for another use; it will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer.
  • Make the pie dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and kosher salt. Add the butter and toss to coat each cube in the flour, then smash each piece of butter with your fingertips into lima bean-sized pieces. It's okay if some pieces are larger than others.
  • Add the ice, water, and vodka to a small bowl and stir to combine. Add 1-2 tablespoons at a time to the flour mixture and toss with a rubber spatula until the dough holds together when pressed between your hands. You may not need all of the liquid. The dough should not be very tacky or sticky.
  • Turn the dough onto a clean surface and use a bench scraper to gently bring it together into a rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds, like a business letter. Turn the dough 90°, then flatten and fold into thirds again. Repeat until all of the bits of dough have been incorporated and it just comes together in a smooth, cohesive mass. Do not overwork. Divide the dough in half and wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 3 days.
  • Make the filling: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add onion, carrots, potatoes, and thyme and season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook until the onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until no lumps remain and the flour is evenly incorporated into the butter, 2-3 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk the reserved 3 cups of chicken stock, a little at a time. Simmer until the stock has reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and fold in the reserved 4 cups of shredded chicken, peas, and parsley. Season with more kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Transfer the filling to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature, then place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Assemble the pot pie: Place a portion of pie dough on a floured surface. Sprinkle flour on top of the dough and on the rolling pin, then roll the dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) round, about ⅓ inch thick, rotating 90° every few rolls. Repeat with the remaining dough, rolling out slightly thinner to ¼ inch thick. Roll the thicker dough round onto the rolling pin and transfer to a 9-inch (22 cm) glass deep dish pie plate, gently lifting and pressing so the dough is flush against the dish. Brush the inside of the dough with the egg wash, including the sides and outer rim. Add the chilled filling, spreading evenly.
  • Drape the remaining dough round over the pie. Trim any excess dough around the edges, then pinch the top and bottom doughs together to seal. Roll the edges under, all the way around the pie dish, and crimp using the knuckle of an index finger of one hand and the thumb and index finger of the other.
  • Brush the egg wash all over the top of the dough, getting in the grooves and sides of the pie. Use a paring knife to cut a few vents in the top to allow the steam to escape. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top. Chill the assembled pie in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, until firm.
  • Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Place the pie dish on the prepared baking sheet, then transfer to the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pound(s) chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
2 cup(s) chicken broth (enough to cover breasts)
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/4 teaspoon(s) ground black pepper
1 1/2 cup(s) half and half
3 tablespoon(s) butter (yes, 3 tablespoons!)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup(s) celery, chopped
1/3 cup(s) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup(s) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed (I use green beans, corn, carrots and peas)
2 medium potatoes, cooked and cubed (or 1 can small white potatoes, cubed)
1 tablespoon(s) parsley, freshly chopped
1/2 teaspoon(s) thyme, dried
2 - pie pastry (for double crust pie)
1 - egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the chicken breasts, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.

Tips for Making the Best Chicken Pot Pie Ever:

  1. Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your pot pie a more flavorful and colorful filling.
  2. Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook it until it is just cooked through.
  3. Make sure the sauce is thick enough. A thin sauce will make your pot pie soupy. If the sauce is too thin, add a little cornstarch or flour to thicken it.
  4. Use a good quality pie crust. A flaky, buttery pie crust will make your pot pie extra delicious.
  5. Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will ensure that the pot pie is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. With a flaky crust, creamy filling, and tender chicken, it's a dish that the whole family will love. Follow these tips to make the best chicken pot pie ever.
