They are especially good for an easy dinner during the cold winter months. -Mary Shenk, Dekalb, Illinois

CHICKEN-TARRAGON POT PIE



Chicken-Tarragon Pot Pie image

This recipe, which is adapted from "Julia and Jacques at Home" by Julia Child and Jacques Pépin and was featured in a New York Times article about roast chicken, makes delicious use of leftovers (it would be excellent with the Thanksgiving turkey remainders as well). It is rich, but packed with vegetables. You can substitute dried tarragon for fresh, but use less than a tablespoon, and season to taste.

Categories     dinner, casseroles, one pot, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups all-purpose flour
14 tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 tablespoon cold vegetable shortening
Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
Scant 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 egg
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup chopped carrot
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup thinly sliced leeks
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 cup frozen baby green peas
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 cups leftover roast chicken, cut into 1/2-inch chunks

Steps:

  • To make the crust, combine flour, butter, shortening, salt and sugar in a food processor. Pulse together just until the mixture is crumbly and butter is broken into small pieces. Pour 1/3 cup ice water into the machine, and pulse 3 or 4 times. Squeeze a little dough in your hand to see whether it clumps together and is evenly moist. If not, add another tablespoon of water, and pulse 1 or 2 times more. Don't overmix so that the dough forms a ball.
  • Turn out dough on a large sheet of plastic wrap. Lift ends of plastic to gather dough together inside. Press into a large disk, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 2 days.
  • To make the filling, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrot, celery, leeks and tarragon, and cook, stirring, just until slightly softened but not browned (reduce the heat if necessary to prevent browning), about 3 minutes. Transfer cooked vegetables to a bowl, wipe out the skillet, and place it back on the stove.
  • Add remaining 3 tablespoons butter, and melt over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook, whisking, until the mixture bubbles and smells cooked. Do not let it brown. Whisk in 2 cups broth, and cook, whisking, 1 minute. Whisk in cream, and cook 2 or 3 minutes, just until thickened. Add salt and pepper. If the sauce is too thick, whisk in remaining broth.
  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Add cooked vegetables and peas, chicken and sauce to 8-inch deep pie dish or other baking dish, mix gently, and taste for seasoning.
  • Flour a work surface. Remove dough from refrigerator. Roll out the dough, turning and flouring often, and cut a shape approximately the size of your baking dish plus 1 1/2 inches overlap all around.
  • Roll dough up onto the rolling pin, and unroll over dish, so it rests evenly on top of filling. Fold the edges under and crimp. Poke tip of knife through crust to create 3 vent holes near the center. Whisk the egg with a teaspoon of cold water. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the entire crust with egg wash. Place on cookie sheet, and place in oven.
  • Bake 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375 degrees. Bake 25 to 30 minutes more, until crust is golden and filling is bubbling through vents. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your pot pie a more complex flavor and texture. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, peas, and corn.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor and texture of your pot pie. If you can, make your own pie crust from scratch. Otherwise, look for a high-quality frozen or refrigerated pie crust.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make chicken pot pie. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or seasonings.

Conclusion:

Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little effort, you can make a delicious chicken pot pie that your whole family will love.
