Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 ½ cups frozen pea and carrot
½ cup frozen pearl onion
1 cup small potato, diced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
4 cups biscuit flour, plus more for dusting
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks, cubed, very cold
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup chives, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
  • Make the filling: Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the the flour and whisk until bubbling.
  • Whisk in the milk until smooth, then add the chicken, peas and carrots, pearl onions, potato, salt, and pepper . Stir until everything is well coated, then continue to cook until the filling is bubbling and the liquid has thickened slightly, 7-10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Make the biscuits: In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Using your a fork, your hands, or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients, leaving pea-sized chunks.
  • Add the buttermilk and fold with a rubber spatula until a thick dough comes together.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Bring the dough together into one large mass, then roll out with a rolling pin to about 1 ½-2 inches (4-5 centimeters) thick.
  • Using a 2-3-inch (5-7 centimeter) biscuit cutter or small glass dipped in flour, cut out rounds from the dough. Cut out all of the rounds, then place on top of the filling so the dough does not warm too much. Re-roll the dough scraps if needed. You should have about 10 biscuits total.
  • Brush tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg and top with cheddar cheese.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Carefully remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Garnish with chives before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by CHARLIEMIKEOSCAR

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Savory Pie Recipes     Pot Pie Recipes     Chicken Pot Pie Recipes

Time 2h32m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 pounds bone-in chicken pieces
6 quarts water
1 pinch salt
2 ½ pounds potatoes, peeled and diced
1 bunch celery, diced
¼ cup butter
2 pounds baby carrots, halved
1 onion, diced
7 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups cream
¼ cup chopped parsley
¼ cup chopped green onion tops
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups flour
¼ cup ice water
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Place the chicken into a pot with the water, add salt, and simmer over medium heat until meat is falling off of the bones, about 40 minutes. Remove from heat, and cool. Remove chicken from broth, reserving broth. Remove the meat from the chicken, cutting large pieces into chunks. Discard skin and bones.
  • Meanwhile, place the potatoes into a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over, and cook 8 minutes. Add the celery, and cook 2 minutes more. Drain, and place into a large bowl.
  • Bring a second pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, and cook 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook 3 minutes more. Remove from heat and drain.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the carrots and onion, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Mix with the potatoes and celery. Stir in the chicken.
  • To make the sauce, melt 7 tablespoons of butter in a pot over medium heat. Whisk 6 tablespoons of flour into the butter, and cook until light brown and paste-like, about 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in the cream and 2 cups of the reserved chicken broth. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and green onions. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the cream sauce over the vegetables and chicken mixture, tossing to coat evenly. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • To make the Cheddar crust, cut 4 tablespoons butter into 2 cups of flour until the mixture is pea-sized. Stir in the Cheddar cheese and sprinkle the ice water over the mixture, gathering the dough into a soft ball. Knead gently until smooth and elastic. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface until large enough to cover the entire baking dish. Place over the chicken mixture in the baking dish, tucking in edges to fit. Brush with the beaten egg yolk. Pierce top in a few places with a fork or knife to vent steam.
  • Bake in preheated oven until top is golden; 30 to 35 minutes.

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.

Categories     Chicken     Bake

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

For the crust:
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
For the filling:
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.
