It almost seems too nice to cut, but we're always glad we did when we taste a slice.

CHICKEN POT PIE WITH MUSHROOMS AND ASPARAGUS



Chicken Pot Pie with Mushrooms and Asparagus image

My husband says this is the best chicken pot pie he's ever had :) Rich and loaded in goodies. It does take a bit of time to put together, but so worth it!

Provided by April McIver

Categories     Savory Pies

Number Of Ingredients 23

CRUST:
2 2/3 c all purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
1 c butter
1 large egg
1 Tbsp water
1 1/2 tsp vinegar
1 Tbsp molasses
FILLING:
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
1 small bunch asparagus (about a pound), cut into 1 inch pieces
1 small onion, diced
1 lb mushrooms, quartered or sliced
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and diced
SAUCE:
1 c water
1 Tbsp better than boullion mushroom stock base
2 Tbsp parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp pepper
milk, up to 1 cup
1/4 c flour

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Prepare filling. Heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp canola oil in a large skillet over medium. When the butter is melted add mushrooms, onions, carrots and asparagus. Depending how large your skillet is you may need to do 2 batches. Cook veggies until nearly tender, then remove from heat and set aside. Add diced chicken to the veggies, stirring gently to combine.
  • 2. Prepare crust. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until large crumbs form. Set aside. In a small bowl, beat together the egg, water, vinegar and molasses. Add liquid to flour mixture, stirring just until dough forms. It may be necessary to use your hands to make a smooth dough. Try not to handle it too much or it becomes tough. Divide the dough into two portions. Roll each into a circle between waxed paper. Use one to line a round casserole dish, then bake about 10 minutes. Set the other circle of crust aside for now.
  • 3. Prepare sauce. In a small pot, combine water, mushroom bouillon and pepper. Heat to nearly boiling. In a small bowl or glass Pyrex style measuring cup combine flour with enough milk to equal about 1 cup total. Stir thoroughly until smooth. Slowly pour into hot bouillon, stirring constantly. Add parmesan. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • 4. Build the pot pie. Transfer the chicken and veggie mixture to the prepared crust. Pour over about 1 cup of the sauce. Top with remaining circle of crust, tucking under edges like for pie. Put at least one slit in the top of the crust to vent. It's best to bake it on top of a cookie sheet just in case it drips, it's a bit of guesswork how much sauce to add for which casserole dish you're using.
  • 5. Bake at 350 for about an hour, until crust is golden. Let cool a few minutes before serving - the crust will become more crisp as it begins to cool. Slice, serve and enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium leek, quartered lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/3-inch pieces (white and pale green parts only)
1 lb medium asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
2 teaspoons water
1 unbaked pie shell

Steps:

  • Wash leek in a bowl of cold water, agitating water, then lift out leek and pat dry.
  • Cook asparagus in a wide 4- to 5-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer asparagus with tongs to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain and pat dry. Cut off and reserve tips (leave more stalk if asparagus is thin), then thinly slice stalks crosswise.
  • Heat butter in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat until foam subsides, then cook leek with 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in sliced asparagus and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and remove from heat.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Whisk together cream, 2 eggs, tarragon, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Lightly beat remaining egg with water in a small bowl and brush pie shell all over with some egg wash. Spoon asparagus mixture into shell, spreading evenly, then pour cream mixture over asparagus.
  • Bake until filling is just beginning to set but still loose on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Scatter asparagus tips over top, pressing lightly if necessary to help them settle into filling, then continue to bake until custard is golden and just set but still slightly wobbly in center, about 30 minutes more (custard will continue to set as it cools).
  • Cool on baking sheet on a rack until warm, about 30 minutes. Loosen edge with a small sharp knife. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.

Tips:

  • To ensure the asparagus is cooked evenly, cut the spears into uniform pieces. Thicker spears may require additional cooking time.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese in the filling. A blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan is a classic choice, but you could also try Gouda, Gruyère, or fontina.
  • For a vegetarian version of the pie, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Serve the pie warm or at room temperature, with a side salad or soup.
