CHICKEN POT PIE W/ PUFF PASTRY



Chicken Pot Pie W/ Puff Pastry image

This recipe is a favorite in our house. Using the puff pastry makes it very quick and easy to prepare. I also use pie pastry when I don't have puff pastry on hand. I usually make this pie in a 9"x13" baking dish but when it's busy I just divide it into two 8" square dishes. Notes: If chicken breasts are frozen just boil them in water and remove skins. You can always add your harder vegetables to cook with the chicken. Cubed carrots, potatoes, etc. A great tip if you're like me and don't tend to keep cream, buttermilk or whipping cream on hand. I buy these containers and divide them into muffin tins and freeze. Then I pop them out and store them in resealable bags. Each cube is about 1/4 cup.

CHICKEN POTPIE WITH PUFF PASTRY



Chicken Potpie with Puff Pastry image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/3 pound Puff Pastry (Pate Feuilletee)
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, chopped
3 medium potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 medium carrots (about 12 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
12 ounces small cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed
1/3 cup cognac
2 cups Homemade Chicken Stock
1 cup milk
5 cups Poached Whole Chicken, or Roasted Chicken
1 cup shelled green peas
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, leaves
3 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • At least 3 1/2 hours (or up to one day) before the filling is ready, roll puff pastry out on a lightly floured surface to a 3/16-inch-thick square. Place on a baking sheet, wrap tightly with plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  • Remove chilled dough from refrigerator, and place on a cutting board. Directly onto the dough, invert a bowl or place a lid that is 2 1/2 to 3 inches larger in diameter than a 3-quart round casserole or souffle dish. With a sharp knife, cut around the bowl or lid so that you have a perfect circle. Return the circle of dough to the baking sheet, wrap tightly with plastic, and chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Place a rack in lower two-thirds portion of the oven. A convection oven is ideal; preheat it to 375 degrees. If you don't have a convection oven, preheat a conventional oven to 425 degrees. In a large heavy-bottom pot, melt 5 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add onion, potatoes, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes and carrots are fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are heated through. Add cognac, and cook for 30 seconds. Add flour, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour in chicken stock and milk. Bring to a simmer; cook until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chicken, peas, parsley, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to 3-quart casserole or souffle dish. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Make egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together egg, egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon water. Remove dough circle from refrigerator, and brush surface evenly with egg wash. Invert dough and place directly over the casserole, pressing lightly to seal overhanging crust to the side of the dish. Brush top surface of dough with egg wash. With a 1/2-inch large round pastry tip (Ateco #7), cut a small circle in the center of the pastry, removing the pastry circle, and insert the pastry tip, narrow side down, into cut-out hole. This allows the steam to vent.
  • Transfer casserole to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes; cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent crust from burning, and continue baking for 25 minutes more. Serve hot.

INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POT PIE WITH PUFF PASTRY



Individual Chicken Pot Pie with Puff Pastry image

Provided by Alton Brown

Time 3h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs and/or breast, skin and bone removed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 large yellow onion, chopped
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
2 medium celery stalks, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
2 ounces unsalted butter
3 ounces all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups 2 percent milk, room temperature
8 ounces frozen green peas
1 teaspoon freshly chopped thyme
1 teaspoon freshly chopped tarragon
10 ounces bread flour
2 ounces whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon fine kosher salt
10 ounces unsalted butter, cubed and frozen
12 tablespoons ice water
1 large egg beaten
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
  • For the filling: Place 1 tablespoon vegetable oil into a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and set over high heat until it shimmers. Add the chicken, season with 1 teaspoon of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside but not dry, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside in a medium bowl.
  • Decrease the heat to medium and heat the remaining tablespoon vegetable oil in the skillet until it shimmers. Add the onions, mushrooms, carrots, celery, garlic, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried tarragon, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and melt. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually stir in the chicken broth and milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring continually. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the peas, thyme, tarragon, and reserved chicken. Cover and set aside.
  • For the crust: Combine the bread flour, whole wheat flour, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Place in the freezer for 1 hour.
  • Place the flour mixture and butter in a mound on a clean work surface. Use a bench scraper to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture is crumbly and the butter pieces are about the size of almonds. Add the ice water, 2 tablespoons at a time, and mix into the dough, using the bench scraper, until it just barely comes together. Do not add too much water, it will come together.
  • Shape into a rectangle and pound with a rolling pin until it is about the size of a sheet of notebook paper, approximately 8 1/2 by 11 inches.
  • Use the bench scraper to fold the dough into thirds, like a letter. Pound with the rolling pin until the piece of dough is again the size of a sheet of notebook paper and rotate 90 degrees. Repeat the pounding, folding, and rotating 2 more times for a total of 4 turns of the dough.
  • Pound with rolling pin and fold the shorter sides of the rectangle in towards the center, from top to bottom, and then fold in half, like a book. Wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • For the egg wash: Combine the beaten egg and water in a small dish and set aside.
  • To build the pie: Divide the warm filling into 4 (16-ounce) ramekins and place on a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Remove the puff pastry from the refrigerator. Divide in half. Return one half to the refrigerator. Sprinkle lightly with flour and roll to 1/4-inch thick and, using your ramekins as a guide, cut 2 circles that are 1/2 inch wider than the rim, using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Repeat with the other half of the dough. Refrigerate excess dough for another use.
  • Brush each dough round with egg wash and place egg washed-side down onto the top of each filled ramekin. Brush the top of the pastry with egg wash. Bake for 15 minutes. Decrease the heat to 400 degrees F and bake until the crust is puffed and golden brown and the filling is bubbly, another 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes before serving.

HIDDEN COVE PUFF PASTRY CHICKEN POT PIE

INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN POT PIES WITH PUFF PASTRY



Individual Chicken Pot Pies With Puff Pastry image

This is so yummy! Note: I wrote this recipe for my oven-safe soup mugs, but this recipe would also work well in a pie plate or 2-quart casserole. I would imagine this is enough for 4 soup mugs... It's just DH and I so we just use 2 gigantic soup mugs and fill 'em! So I would assume this would work for 4 regular size mugs...let me know how it goes! Also, we like it spicy, so we add serrano peppers! Enjoy!

EASY AS CHICKEN POT PIE



Easy As Chicken Pot Pie image

This is the easiest chicken pot pie you will ever make from scratch. It uses stuff you have on hand and is great for leftover chicken. It's pretty, too! Substitute whatever frozen vegetables you have on hand.

Provided by JavaMama

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 ⅓ cups frozen peas and carrots
⅔ cup frozen corn kernels
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon crumbled dried thyme, or to taste
2 cups diced cooked chicken
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the puff pastry into 8 equal-sized strips. Weave the strips into a square lattice and place on a greased baking sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven until it just starts to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Place the frozen peas, carrots, and corn in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave until cooked but still firm, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the milk and stir while cooking until the mixture is smooth. Add the thyme and continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens. Stir in the cooked vegetables and the chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until heated through, stirring frequently, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Pour the chicken mixture into a 2-quart baking dish. Lay the pastry lattice on top. Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Organic, free-range chicken and fresh vegetables will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. The chicken should be cooked through, but not dry. Overcooked chicken will make the pot pie tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your pot pie. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peas, and potatoes.
  • Use a good quality puff pastry for the crust. The crust should be light and flaky. A homemade puff pastry is always best, but you can also use a store-bought puff pastry.
  • Be careful not to overfill the pot pies. The filling should come up to the top of the pot pie, but it should not be overflowing.
  • Bake the pot pies until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Conclusion:

Chicken pot pies with puff pastry are a delicious and comforting dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make chicken pot pies at home that are just as good as anything you would find in a restaurant. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
