CHICKEN POT PIE



Chicken Pot Pie image

This classic chicken pot pie takes no shortcuts. The homemade dough leans into the savory side of this pie with the addition of fresh herbs. Make your own fortified stock by poaching the chicken in your already homemade stock, or stock from a butcher store. This creates an intensified chicken flavor in the base of the pie filling. Let your pie filling cool down before topping with the dough, this helps to prevent any gummy texture on the bottom of the crust.

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 to 4 tablespoons ice water
1 large egg
5 cloves garlic, 2 crushed and 3 minced
1 fresh bay leaf
1 wide strip lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts and thighs (about 2 breasts and 2 thighs)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 russet potato, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Combine the flour, sugar, salt, thyme and chives in a food processor and pulse a few times to evenly combine. Add the butter and pulse 7 or 8 times until the butter is in pea-size bits. Add the vinegar and 2 tablespoons ice water and pulse just until the dough starts to come together into a ball. (Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons ice water if the dough is too dry.) Form the dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you make the filling, at least 1 hour.
  • Make the filling: Pile the 2 crushed garlic cloves, bay leaf, lemon peel, peppercorns and coriander seeds on a square of cheesecloth. Bring the corners together to form a pouch and tie with a piece of kitchen twine.
  • Combine the chicken, chicken broth and cheesecloth pouch in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate using tongs. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl; discard the cheesecloth pouch. Wipe out the saucepan; return the strained broth to the pan and keep at a very gentle simmer over low heat. Shred the chicken using 2 forks.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the potato, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook until the potato is slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and the thyme and cook until softened, 1 minute. Add the vinegar and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour until the vegetables are evenly coated. Pour in 1 3/4 cups of the strained chicken broth (save the rest for another use). Bring to a gentle boil and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Add the shredded chicken, parsley and peas and stir to combine and heat through; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the filling to a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate and let cool until no longer steaming, about 20 minutes.
  • Bake the pot pie: Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough into an 11-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Place it over the filling. Roll the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges with your fingers. Cut vents in the top of the dough. Beat the egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush the crust all over with the egg wash. Place the pot pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the crust is a deep golden brown, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool 20 minutes before serving.

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

For Crust:
1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 stick butter
White Pepper, Sage, salt, pepper to taste
Very Cold Water
For Filling:
1 Large Chicken Breast
1 heaping tbs flour (season with salt and pepper to taste)
1 tbs Olive Oil + some for coating
2 oz Pancetta
1 med Onion (minced)
2 large Garlic Cloves (minced)
1/4 cup chopped Scallions
1/3 cup chopped mushrooms
1 small Green Pepper (chopped)
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 tsp freshly ground White Pepper
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Oregano
a dash of Sage
2 Bay Leaves (fresh or dried, break in half)
1 heaping tsp flour
2 med Carrots
2 med Celery stalks
4-8 Baby Red Potatoes (depending on size)
1 Plum Tomato
1 1/4 cup hearty Red Wine (like a Shiraz or Cabernet)

Steps:

  • For Crust, sift Flour with Spices and cut together with butter. When mixture resembled fine dust, add just enough water to make the dough stick together. Form into a ball, cover, and set in refrigerator. Cut Chicken into bite size cubes and toss with Flour. Heat Olive Oil in large skillet and brown the floured chicken. Add sliced Pancetta and heat until slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside. Lightly coat large saucepan with olive oil and add the Onion, Garlic, Scallions, Mushrooms, and Green Pepper. When sizzling, add water. Add all spices and herbs, stir together. Whisk in flour for thickening. Wait until boil and simmer until slightly thickened. Chop Carrots and Celery Crosswise and halve Baby Potatoes. Add to saucepan. Chop Plum Tomato and add. Stir in Red Wine, and when combined, add Chicken and Pancetta back into saucepan. Simmer until reduced to thick stew consistency. This may take as long as 45 minutes so if you like firmer veggies or don't have the time, sift another tsp of flour to mixture and stir. When thickened, remove from heat and pour into medium casserole dish. Roll out crust dough to cover your casserole dish and place over the top of filling. Tuck down the sides so they won't leak and cut slits in the top. Bake at 375°F for 1 hour or until juice bubbles through slits in top and the crust is browned.

  • Let the pot pie cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
