Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 (14.1-oz.) pkg. refrigerated piecrusts
½ cup (4 oz.) unsalted butter, divided
2 (6-oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, quartered
1 ½ cups diced russet potato (about 1 small)
½ cup chopped yellow onion (from 1 onion)
½ cup diced carrot (about 1 small)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic (about 3 garlic cloves)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups chicken stock, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
¾ cup frozen green peas
½ cup heavy cream
1 large egg yolk
½ teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Let piecrusts stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Unroll 2 piecrusts onto a lightly floured surface. Cut 3 (5-inch) circles from each crust. Gently roll each circle into an 8-inch round. Coat 6 (12-ounce) ramekins with cooking spray. Gently fit 1 piecrust round into each ramekin, lining the bottom and sides. Gently crimp dough over the top edge of ramekin to secure it. Prick dough with a fork along bottom and sides. Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, 13 to 16 minutes.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken; cook until done, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove from pan; let stand 10 minutes. Shred the chicken.
  • Add remaining 6 tablespoons butter to skillet. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add potato, onion, carrot, thyme, garlic, and oregano to skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and lightly browned, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Whisk together flour and ½ cup of the stock in a small bowl, and add to skillet. Stir in salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper, and remaining 2 cups stock; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in peas, cream, and shredded chicken. Transfer mixture to a bowl, and cool 10 minutes.
  • Stir together egg yolk and water in a small bowl. Unroll remaining 2 piecrusts onto lightly floured surface. Cut 3 (5-inch) circles from each piecrust. Gently roll each circle into a 5 ½-inch round. Fill each ramekin with about ¾ cup chicken mixture, pressing down to level mixture. Top each ramekin with 1 (5 ½-inch) dough round, pressing to seal to bottom crust. Brush tops with egg mixture, and, if desired, top with leaf cutouts or rounds from extra dough. Cut small slits in tops of dough to vent steam. Bake at 400°F until golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes.

Time 3h20m

Yield One 10-inch deep-dish skillet pie

Number Of Ingredients 19

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large sweet onion, diced
3 large stalks celery, diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme
1/3 cup heavy cream
3 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken (from a rotisserie chicken, for example)
1 1/3 cups fresh or frozen peas
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1/2 cup chopped parsley
Dough for 4 single-crust pies or 2 double-crust pies (homemade or store-bought), divided into 2 even pieces and well chilled
1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Finely grated Parmesan, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Make the filling: In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the onions, celery and carrots and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
  • Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Once melted, stir in the flour. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it just starts to turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the bay leaf, rosemary and thyme. Adjust the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the cream, chicken and peas and return to a simmer. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove the mixture from the heat. Stir in the salt and pepper. Ideally, cool it completely. Remove and discard the bay leaf, and stir in the parsley. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if desired.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the crust: Have a 10-inch cast-iron or ovenproof skillet ready. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the pie crust to a thickness of about 1/4 inch, making a circle about 3 inches wider all around than the skillet. Gently transfer the dough to the skillet, lining the bottom and easing it up the sides, allowing any excess to drape over the edge of the pan (aim for about 1 inch excess dough all the way around the pan). Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • While the bottom crust is chilling, roll out the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. Gently transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet, then use a pastry wheel to cut it into 1 1/2- to 2-inch wide strips. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Pour the cooled filling into the chilled bottom crust and spread evenly. Remove the chilled dough strips from the fridge. Lay strips over the filling, leaving almost no space between them. When the pie is covered, rotate the pan and pull back every other strip of dough, then weave in a fresh strip to create a lattice. Lay the strips back over the new piece of dough, the repeat the process - this time pulling back all the pieces of dough that didn't get moved the first time. Continue until the entire pie is latticed.
  • Press the dough together at the edges all the way around the pie; use scissors to trim away any excess dough, then fold the bottom crust up and over the lattice. Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges to help seal it. Use a floured fork to press around the edges to seal the dough together and crimp the crust. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a rack in the lower third of the oven. Brush the egg mixture over the top of the pie and sprinkle it with Parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes; lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue baking until the crust is deeply golden brown (the filling may bubble through the top crust a bit), 40 to 50 minutes more.
