EASIEST "HOMEMADE" CHICKEN (OR TURKEY) POT PIE EVER!



Easiest

Your family or guests won't ever suspect you didn't slave away all day! This is also a wonderful use for leftover turkey! My kids don't like veggies, so you won't see many in this recipe. You can always add celery, carrots or peas as desired. Serve with a nice green salad.

Time 50m

Yield 1 deep-dish pie, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 ready-made pie crusts (I prefer Pillsbury)
4 skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons margarine
1 (14 ounce) can corn
1 (14 ounce) can green beans
4 potatoes
3 (10 1/2 ounce) cans gravy (I like to use 1 each of chicken, turkey & beef, but you can play with this one.)
poultry seasoning
garlic salt
salt & pepper
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and take pie crusts out of the fridge to allow to warm up a bit.
  • Saute the chicken in a large, deep skillet with the chopped onion and 2 TB margarine until chicken is no longer pink. Season with 3 dashes poultry seasoning, salt, pepper and 2 dashes garlic salt. While chicken is cooking, peel and chop potatoes. Place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with a little bit of water, cover and microwave for 8 minutes.
  • When chicken is done, add cans of gravy and worcestershire sauce. Gravy should "bite" just a little bit from the worcestershire sauce, as the flavors will mellow out while baking (worcestershire sauce may have to be adjusted depending on which brand of gravy you use.)
  • Add veggies to chicken mixture.
  • Unroll one crust and place in the bottom of a 2-quart oven-proof dish. Pour chicken mixture on top, and cover with other crust. Seal & crimp crust and cut for venting.
  • Bake at 400 degrees until top is browned, about 20 minutes.

EASY CHICKEN OR TURKEY POT PIE



Easy Chicken or Turkey Pot Pie image

For those who do not want to bother making a cream sauce from scratch then this is for you and it's pretty darn good too, fresh mushrooms may be used in place of canned, although the golden mushroom soup is better this will also work using cream of mushroom soup, if you are not a garlic-lover then omit --- see my recipe#66929

Time 5h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 38

1 whole chicken
1 tablespoon kosher salt, divided, plus 2 teaspoons
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 lemon, zested then cut into quarters
1 small yellow onion, quartered
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
1 large yellow onion, quartered
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
1 large carrot, cut into 2 in (5 cm) pieces
1 celery stalk, cut into 2 in (5 cm) pieces
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
5 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh parsley
1 dried bay leaf
water, as needed
3 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 ½ sticks unsalted european-style butter
½ cup ice
½ cup cold water
½ cup vodka
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
1 cup carrot, diced
1 cup baby gold potato, quartered
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ cup all purpose flour
3 cups homemade chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream, room temperature
½ cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon of water
flaky sea salt, for garnish

Steps:

  • Roast the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, including inside the cavity, then season the cavity with 1 tablespoon kosher salt.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic powder, pepper, thyme, lemon zest and 2 teaspoons of kosher salt until well combined. Rub the butter mixture all over the outside of the chicken, including under the skin, making sure to rub the thighs and legs as well as the breast.
  • Add the lemon quarters, onion, and garlic to the cavity of the chicken.
  • To truss the chicken, use a piece of butcher's twine to tie the legs together so the bird holds a nice shape. Tuck the wingtips underneath the breasts so that they fit snugly. Transfer the chicken, breast-side up, to a roasting rack set inside a roasting pan.
  • Roast the chicken for 60-80 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken thigh reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a large cutting board, reserving the juices in the roasting pan. Use a sharp knife to cut the legs and breasts away from the chicken carcass. Remove the skin from the chicken and transfer to the bowl of an Instant Pot, then pull the meat from the bones and shred into ½-inch pieces. Add the bones and carcass to the bowl with the skin. Transfer 4 cups of chicken to an airtight container for the pot pie filling and refrigerate until ready to use. Save any remaining chicken in a separate airtight container for another use; it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Make the chicken stock: Add the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, peppercorns, thyme, parsley, and bay leaf to the Instant Pot bowl with the chicken skin, bones, and carcass. Pour in enough water to cover the chicken by 1 inch, then add the reserved chicken juices.
  • Put the lid on the Instant Pot and set to pressure cook on high for 45 minutes. Once the timer goes off, turn the Instant Pot to quick release. Strain the chicken stock into a large bowl and discard the solids. Set aside 3 cups of stock at room temperature for the pot pie filling. Transfer the remaining chicken stock to an airtight container and save for another use; it will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer.
  • Make the pie dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and kosher salt. Add the butter and toss to coat each cube in the flour, then smash each piece of butter with your fingertips into lima bean-sized pieces. It's okay if some pieces are larger than others.
  • Add the ice, water, and vodka to a small bowl and stir to combine. Add 1-2 tablespoons at a time to the flour mixture and toss with a rubber spatula until the dough holds together when pressed between your hands. You may not need all of the liquid. The dough should not be very tacky or sticky.
  • Turn the dough onto a clean surface and use a bench scraper to gently bring it together into a rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds, like a business letter. Turn the dough 90°, then flatten and fold into thirds again. Repeat until all of the bits of dough have been incorporated and it just comes together in a smooth, cohesive mass. Do not overwork. Divide the dough in half and wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 3 days.
  • Make the filling: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add onion, carrots, potatoes, and thyme and season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook until the onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until no lumps remain and the flour is evenly incorporated into the butter, 2-3 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk the reserved 3 cups of chicken stock, a little at a time. Simmer until the stock has reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and fold in the reserved 4 cups of shredded chicken, peas, and parsley. Season with more kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Transfer the filling to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature, then place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Assemble the pot pie: Place a portion of pie dough on a floured surface. Sprinkle flour on top of the dough and on the rolling pin, then roll the dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) round, about ⅓ inch thick, rotating 90° every few rolls. Repeat with the remaining dough, rolling out slightly thinner to ¼ inch thick. Roll the thicker dough round onto the rolling pin and transfer to a 9-inch (22 cm) glass deep dish pie plate, gently lifting and pressing so the dough is flush against the dish. Brush the inside of the dough with the egg wash, including the sides and outer rim. Add the chilled filling, spreading evenly.
  • Drape the remaining dough round over the pie. Trim any excess dough around the edges, then pinch the top and bottom doughs together to seal. Roll the edges under, all the way around the pie dish, and crimp using the knuckle of an index finger of one hand and the thumb and index finger of the other.
  • Brush the egg wash all over the top of the dough, getting in the grooves and sides of the pie. Use a paring knife to cut a few vents in the top to allow the steam to escape. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top. Chill the assembled pie in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, until firm.
  • Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Place the pie dish on the prepared baking sheet, then transfer to the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to your pot pie. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peas, and corn.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy.
  • Use a good quality chicken or turkey broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pot pie.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. You can add herbs, spices, or even a touch of hot sauce to your pot pie to taste.
  • Be careful not to overfill the pot pie crust. You want to leave some room for the filling to bubble up and thicken.
  • Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.
  • Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set.

Conclusion:

Chicken or turkey pot pie is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious pot pie at home that will rival any restaurant version. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
