COUNTRY CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM POT PIE



Country Chicken and Mushroom Pot Pie image

A basic chicken and mushroom pot pie recipe.

Provided by djameela

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Savory Pie Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup boiling water
1 cube chicken bouillon
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 large onion, sliced
1 pint white button mushrooms, sliced
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup milk
¼ cup water
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, corn, peas)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 (14 ounce) package pastry for double-crust pie
1 large egg yolk, beaten

Steps:

  • Combine 1 cup boiling water and chicken bouillon in a liquid measure; set aside to dissolve.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add mushrooms; fry for about 3 minutes. Remove onion-mushroom mixture from the pot.
  • Add remaining butter to the pot with chicken pieces. Stir chicken and splash Worcestershire sauce over top. Cook, stirring continuously, until chicken is seared on all sides but not cooked through, about 3 minutes. Stir in onion-mushroom mixture, bouillon, and pepper.
  • Add milk and 1/4 cup water; boil for 20 minutes. Add frozen vegetables and boil for 10 more minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch oven-proof dish and lay down bottom crust in it. Set top crust aside.
  • After filling has boiled for 10 minutes, use a large ladle to scoop out approximately 1 cup sauce from the mixture and pour into a cup. Add cornstarch to the cup and stir until all lumps have dissolved. Add cornstarch mixture back to the pot; cook and stir until filling has thickened to your liking.
  • Bake bottom crust in the preheated oven for approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, add filling, and cover with the top crust, making sure the edges are sealed. Make cute decorations with pastry cut-offs and use a knife to make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Lightly paint egg yolk over the top crust.
  • Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Ovens vary so baking time may vary-keep an eye on it.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
3 onions
2 fresh bay leaves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced or quartered
4 baby potatoes, diced
2 parsnips, peeled and diced 1/2-inch thick

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Splash white wine
1 rounded tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 sheet frozen puff pastry dough, defrosted
1 egg

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts in a pot with 1 quartered onion and 1 bay leaf. Fill the pan with just enough water to come to the top of the chicken breasts. Bring the mixture to a low boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and poach the chicken 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the chicken and dice or shred with forks. Reserve the poaching liquid.
  • In the same pan, heat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, a couple of turns of the pan over medium-high heat, add the mushrooms and lightly brown. When the mushrooms are just tender, add 2 chopped medium onions, potatoes, parsnips, celery, sage, salt, pepper and remaining bay leaf. Cover the pot and sweat the vegetables 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the bay leaf. Melt the butter in the pot, add the flour and stir to make a light roux. Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine and add one to 2 cups of reserved poaching liquid. Whisk in the mustard and 2 cups chicken stock. Stir in the cream. Thicken to a light gravy consistency. Adjust the salt and pepper and add in the chicken.
  • Reduce the heat to low and bake off the pastry tops.
  • For make-ahead meal: Bake off the pastry tops; cool the filling and store. Reheat the filling, covered, over medium heat to a bubble, and then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • To prepare the pastry tops: Cut the pastry into shapes which reflect the shape and size of the dishes or bowls you wish to serve the soup in. Beat the egg with a splash of water and arrange the cut pastry on a nonstick baking sheet or on parchment-lined sheet pan. Brush the dough with the egg wash and bake to golden at 425 degrees F, 12 minutes.
  • Cook's Note: Chicken and Mushroom filling can also be served as a thick soup with crusty, warm baguette for dipping.

2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole white peppercorns
2 teaspoons each dry rosemary and thyme
1 small onion, peeled and studded with 6 cloves
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, washed and diced
1 leek, washed and diced
1 recipe exotic mushroom and tarragon cream (recipe follows)
1 recipe pot pie tops (recipe follows)
Reserved chicken cooking liquid
3 carrots sliced, about 3/4 cup
2 stalks celery, diced, about 1/2 cup
1 tablespoon sweet butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 pound mixed exotic mushrooms, sliced and broken by hand
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Reserved chicken meat
1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 1/2 cups sifted allpurpose unbleached flour
1 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup heavy cream
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into very small pieces
1 tablespoon melted butter

Steps:

  • Wash the chicken under cold water. Tie the bay leaves, peppercorns, rosemary and thyme together in a piece of cheesecloth as a sachet garni. Put the chicken into a pot large enough to hold it, cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, carefully skimming off any scum and grease that accumulates on the surface of the water. Add the salt, sachet garni and onion, carrot, celery and leek, return to the boil, reduce again to a strong simmer and cook for 45 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and cool the chicken in the broth in an ice water bath. When thoroughly cold, remove the chicken and strip off all of the skin and discard. Strip the meat from the bones, and shred using scrupulously clean hands and work station. Strain the liquid, discard the vegetables and the bouquet garni.
  • Place the chicken broth in a 4 quart casserole and bring to the boil. Add the carrots and celery and simmer for 10 minutes. Mean put he butter in a saute pan and begin to cook the shallots over medium heat. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook over high heat for 5 minutes .
  • Add the cream to the pot over broth and vegetables and then add the Sauteed mushrooms to the pot. Simmer this for 5 minutes before adding the chicken and continuing to cook for 20 minutes. Add the tarragon and place into single serving crocks or bowls and top each one with a biscuit.
  • 4 to 6 portions
  • In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. After the dry ingredients are thoroughly blended, add the buttermilk, cream and combine. Add the cold butter in rapid succession, combining only briefly, to leave the mixture as mealy as possible.
  • Scrape this lumpy dough onto a lightly floured board and flatten gently with a rolling pin into a rectangle shape approximately 1-inch thick. Cut into 4 or 6 equal rounds. Brush a cookie sheet lightly with melted butter, place the rounds on the sheet and place the cookie sheet into the refrigerator to rest for 20 minutes, while you preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake the chilled shortcakes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are nicely browned.
  • 4 to 6 ( 4-inch diameter) round biscuit tops

Chicken pot pie with mushrooms, bacon and asparagus image

Quick and easy pot pie wiht asparagus, mushrooms, chicken and bacon.

Provided by Mardi Michels

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

Fresh chives
Approx. 225-250g puff pastry, thawed but chilled
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1lb (450-500g) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
6 slices bacon, finely diced (1 cup)
1 small onion (150g), finely diced (1 cup)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
freshly ground black pepper
pinch of salt
1/2 small bunch asparagus, finely chopped (approx. 1 cup chopped into pea-sized pieces)
1/2 lb (227g) white or cremini mushrooms, quartered or thinly sliced
1/4 cup (38g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (250ml) chicken stock
1 cup (250ml) milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
  • Heat a large, deep heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once the skillet is hot, add the bacon and cook for a minute or so until it starts to release its fat.
  • Add the chicken and cook, stirring from time to time, until it's just starting to brown on the outside (it may not be fully cooked on the inside), approx. 5-6 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken pieces).
  • Remove the chicken and bacon from the pan and place on a plate until ready to use.
  • Add the onion, thyme to the pan with a big pinch of salt and a few grounds of black pepper. Cook over medium heat until the onions are just starting to soften (3-4 minutes).
  • Add the asparagus and mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are starting to release their juices (5-6 minutes).
  • Add the flour and mix until all the vegetables are completely coated.
  • Add the chicken stock and cook until the liquid is starting to thicken into a sauce.
  • Add the chicken and bacon back into the pot, then add the milk and stir to combine.
  • Simmer until the liquid has reduced to a thick "sauce". It should look like a slightly watery stew at this point.
  • Pour the filling into a large baking dish (approx. 8 x 11-inches/ 20 x 28cm and 2 inches/ 5cm deep) and distribute evenly.
  • Roll the puff pastry out so it's big enough to cover the filling, with a slight overhang.
  • Lay the pastry over the top of the filling and use your hands to gently press any air out from between the pastry and the filling. Fold the overhang inwards.
  • Poke some holes in the top of the pastry with a sharp knife, to let some steam escape.
  • Use the tines of a fork to decorate the edges and brush the pastry with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed and the filling is bubbling.
  • Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives to serve.

CHICKEN, MOREL MUSHROOM & ASPARAGUS ONE-PAN PIE



Chicken, morel mushroom & asparagus one-pan pie image

Cook up a spring chicken and asparagus pie using seasonal morel mushrooms. This hearty one-pan dish is a fresh new take on the classic chicken pie

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

100g fresh morel or 30g dried morels
200ml chicken stock (if using fresh morels)
50g butter
2 shallots , finely sliced
3 thyme sprigs , leaves picked
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp plain flour , plus extra for dusting
100ml dry sherry or white wine
200ml crème fraîche
6 skinless boneless chicken thighs , cut into large chunks
bunch asparagus , woody ends removed, stalks cut into 4cm pieces
½ pack tarragon , leaves roughly chopped, plus a sprig to decorate
1 block puff pastry (375g), all-butter is best
1 egg , beaten, to glaze

Steps:

  • If you are using dried mushrooms, heat the stock and soak them for 10 mins, then remove them, strain the liquid and set it aside. If you're using fresh mushrooms, clean them thoroughly before using. Set a couple of the nicest-looking morels aside to decorate the top of the pie, and halve the rest.
  • Heat half the butter in a skillet and fry the halved morels for 3-4 mins or until wilted. Scoop them onto a plate and set aside. Heat the remaining butter and gently cook the shallots in the pan with the thyme and bay. Once softened, stir in the flour and cook for 1 min or until you have a sandy paste.
  • Pour in the sherry and sizzle, then carefully stir in the strained soaking liquid (or 200ml chicken stock if you've used fresh morels), followed by the crème fraîche. Season well and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Add the chicken and poach in the sauce for 10 mins or until the chicken is just cooked through. Remove the bay, stir through the asparagus, tarragon and fried morels, then remove from the heat.
  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. The pastry needs to sit on top of the ingredients, so if your pan is too deep, use a pie dish instead. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to the thickness of a £1 coin, then cut the pastry to fit the pan or dish, and drape it over the pie mixture using a rolling pin to help you. Liberally brush with egg, season the pastry with flaky sea salt, and pop your reserved morels on the top. Bake for 20 mins or until the pastry has puffed and is a deep golden brown. Leave tor rest for 5 mins before serving straight from the pan.

Chicken Crepes with Asparagus and Mushrooms image

Categories     Chicken     Mushroom     Asparagus     Spring     Gourmet

Yield Makes 8 (brunch main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

For filling
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped shallot
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken (9 oz)
3 tablespoons medium-dry Sherry
1 lb thin asparagus, trimmed
For crêpes
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 whole large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
For topping
1 large egg yolk
5 tablespoons chilled heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Special Equipment
a 3-quart flameproof ceramic or enameled shallow baking dish

Steps:

  • Make filling:
  • Heat 5 tablespoons butter in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until foam subsides. Whisk in flour and cook roux, whisking, until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Gradually add milk and broth, whisking, and bring to a boil, whisking. Reduce heat and simmer gently, whisking frequently, until velouté sauce is silky and thick, about 25 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup sauce for topping.
  • Cook shallot in remaining tablespoon butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Stir into velouté sauce along with chicken and Sherry.
  • Cut tips from asparagus and set aside. Cut enough stalks into 1/4-inch pieces to measure 1 cup, reserving remainder for another use. Cook tips in a saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water with a slotted spoon. Scoop out tips and drain on paper towels, then reserve for topping. Cook and drain chopped asparagus in same manner and stir into velouté sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Make crêpes:
  • Sift together flour, salt, nutmeg, and pepper to taste into a bowl. Whisk together milk, whole egg, and yolk in a small bowl, then gradually whisk into flour mixture. Force batter through a fine sieve into a bowl.
  • Heat a dry 7- to 8-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot, then brush very lightly with some melted butter. Spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into skillet, tilting to coat bottom. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crêpe.) Cook until underside is lightly browned, 6 to 10 seconds, then loosen crêpe with a spatula and flip. Cook until just cooked through, about 20 seconds, and transfer to a plate. Make 15 more crêpes in same manner, brushing skillet with melted butter as needed and stacking crêpes on plate.
  • Assemble and bake crêpes:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spread 1/4 cup filling across center of 1 crêpe and roll into a cylinder. Transfer, seam side down, to buttered baking dish, then assemble more crêpes in same manner, fitting them snugly. Bake in middle of oven 15 minutes.
  • Make topping while crêpes bake:
  • Stir together yolk, 2 tablespoons cream, and reserved 1/2 cup sauce until smooth. Beat remaining 3 tablespoons cream with a whisk until it holds soft peaks, then fold into yolk mixture.
  • Spoon topping over crêpes and broil 5 to 6 inches from heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
  • Heat butter in skillet, then add reserved asparagus tips and toss until warm.
  • Put 2 crêpes on each of 8 plates and top with asparagus tips.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your chicken pot pie. Use fresh, organic vegetables and free-range chicken for the best flavor.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When browning the chicken and vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Simmer the Filling: After adding the chicken broth and milk to the filling, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use a Thickener: If you want a thicker filling, you can add a cornstarch or flour slurry. Just whisk together equal parts cornstarch or flour with water until smooth, then add it to the simmering filling and stir until thickened.
  • Bake the Pot Pie Until Golden Brown: Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will ensure that the pot pie is cooked through and has a crispy crust.

Conclusion:

Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious chicken pot pie that will be a hit with your family and friends.
