YANKEE CHICKEN POT PIE

A nontraditional slow cooker recipe. Instead of pastry crust, uses a mashed potato crust. Works better if you have two slow cookers and can make the crust and the filling simultaneously.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 individual pot pies

Number Of Ingredients 22

3 whole (6 split) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin-on
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
5 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 chicken bouillon cubes
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups yellow onions, chopped (2 onions)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 cups medium-diced carrots, blanched for 2 minutes
1 (10-ounce) package frozen peas (2 cups)
1 1/2 cups frozen small whole onions
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/4 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
1/2 to 2/3 cup ice water
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
Flaked sea salt and cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove the meat from the bones and discard the skin. Cut the chicken into large dice. You will have 4 to 6 cups of cubed chicken.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the chicken stock and dissolve the bouillon cubes in the stock. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and saute the onions over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until translucent. Add the flour and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the hot chicken stock to the sauce. Simmer over low heat for 1 more minute, stirring, until thick. Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and heavy cream. Add the cubed chicken, carrots, peas, onions and parsley. Mix well.
  • For the pastry, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add the shortening and butter and mix quickly with your fingers until each piece is coated with flour. Pulse 10 times, or until the fat is the size of peas. With the motor running, add the ice water; process only enough to moisten the dough and have it just come together. Dump the dough out onto a floured board and knead quickly into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Divide the filling equally among 4 ovenproof bowls. Divide the dough into quarters and roll each piece into an 8-inch circle. Brush the outside edges of each bowl with the egg wash, then place the dough on top. Trim the circle to 1/2-inch larger than the top of the bowl. Crimp the dough to fold over the side, pressing it to make it stick. Brush the dough with egg wash and make 3 slits in the top. Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 refrigerated 9-inch pie crusts, at room temperature, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
⅔ cup chicken broth
⅓ cup butter
1 clove garlic, minced
⅓ medium onion, diced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
⅔ cup milk
1 (8 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place 1 pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Poke several holes in the bottom of the crust.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of chicken breasts with rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add chicken to the skillet and saute until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add 2/3 cup chicken broth. Simmer, being careful not to overcook, just until chicken juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, allowing it to cool until the juices settle, about 15 minutes. Reserve pan drippings.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pan drippings and garlic. Saute until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion, salt, and pepper and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Whisk in flour until mixture thickens.
  • Add 1 3/4 cups chicken broth and milk, 1 cup of liquid at a time, whisking constantly. Remove from heat once mixture begins to thicken.
  • Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and mix with thawed vegetables and broth mixture until combined. Pour into the pre-baked pie crust. Cut slits in the remaining pie crust and place it on top of the pie, crimping the edges to seal and decorating them with tongs or a fork, if desired.
  • Place pot pie in the oven and bake until crust is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Check edges halfway through baking time and cover them with aluminum foil if they start to brown too much.

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.

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.

Categories     Chicken Pot Pie

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons butter
1 cup finely chopped onion
¾ cup diced carrot
½ cup diced celery
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
4 cups diced cooked chicken breast
1 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (14.1 ounce) package ready-to-use refrigerated pie crusts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, salt, and rosemary and cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir in chicken broth and cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook, stirring often, until thick and creamy and vegetables have started to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken, peas, and parsley until well combined. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
  • Place one crust in the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Add filling and place second crust on top. Press crusts together to seal around the edges and use fingers to crimp the dough. Cut small slits in the top and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Tent the edges with foil while baking if they become too brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your pot pie a more flavorful and nutritious filling. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, peas, and corn.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. A homemade pie crust is always best, but if you're short on time, you can use a store-bought pie crust. Just be sure to choose one that is made with all-butter, not shortening.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. Too much filling will make the pie difficult to assemble and it will be more likely to spill over during baking.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will usually take about 30-35 minutes.

Conclusion:

Yankee chicken pot pie is a hearty and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and tender chicken, it's a meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dinner, give this Yankee chicken pot pie recipe a try.
