Cheddar Chicken Potpie image

Cheese soup is one of my favorites, but it's a bit too rich for my husband's taste. Now I make a variation of potpie we both enjoy. If I'm in a hurry, I'll skip the crust, add extra milk and serve it as a chowder. -Sandra Cothran, Ridgeland, South Carolina

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 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
1/2 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced
4 tablespoons salted butter
1 celery rib, diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup chopped white button mushrooms
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced flat leaf parsley
3 cups chopped cooked chicken, white and dark meat (tip ( use precooked rotisserie chicken meat to save on valuable prep time)
1/3 cup sweet peas (frozen is fine)
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for work surface
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
5 tablespoons cold salted butter, cut into small cubes
2/3 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced (green onions)
1 large egg
2/3 cup buttermilk
milk (for brushing biscuits)

Steps:

  • First, make the filling:.
  • In a medium-size saucepan over high heat, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add carrots and squash. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain vegetables, reserving broth. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add celery, onion, and salt; cook until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until they release most of their liquid, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Add milk slowly, whisking as you go; then add reserved broth, whisking until smooth. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with pepper. Add parsley, chicken, reserved vegetables, and peas.
  • Divide filling evenly among 6 ramekins or other 8- to 10-ounce ovenproof bowls, leaving about a half-inch at the top for biscuits. If you have extra filling, put it in another ramekin. (Note: or you can make one big casserole; adjust baking time accordingly).
  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Make the biscuits:.
  • In a large bowl, whisk flour with baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Use your fingers to smear the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal, with plenty of lumps. Stir in cheddar and scallions.
  • In a medium-size bowl, whisk together egg and buttermilk; then add to flour mixture. Stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Divide dough into 2 balls. On a lightly floured counter, press dough out to a half-inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter or the floured rim of a glass, cut out 2- to 3-inch rounds. Gather dough again as needed and press out again. Repeat with second ball.
  • Divide biscuits among ramekins, overlapping as necessary. Brush tops with milk, and set ramekins on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake until crust is nicely browned and filling is bubbling, about 20 minutes.
