1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
½ white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup yukon gold potato, cubed
2 cups frozen pea and carrot
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 frozen prepared pie crust, thawed
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the meat is golden brown on the outside and no longer pink in the center. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C)
  • To the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Sauté until translucent. Add the potato cubes and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the peas and carrots and stir. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Sprinkle the flour on top, covering the vegetables, and quickly stir to avoid lumps. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil to thicken the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
  • Place the pie crust over the chicken and vegetable mixture and carefully seal along the edges of the skillet with your fingers. Brush the pastry with the egg, and cut 3 slits in the top to release steam. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Enjoy!

SKILLET VEGETABLE POTPIE



Skillet Vegetable Potpie image

Loaded with the season's finest offerings, this pie comes together in one skillet and manages to be hearty yet light. Leek provides a sweet and aromatic base, potatoes add body, fennel delivers an earthy note and asparagus imparts crisp freshness. (You could also use broccoli or green beans.) Sour cream in the base offers a slight tang and keeps the sauce light. Be sure to chop all of your vegetables around the same size to ensure they cook evenly and are tender by the time the pastry is golden. If you like, add other seasonal vegetables like peas or fava beans in the spring, or cauliflower or brussels sprouts in the fall and winter. (Frozen vegetables work well, too.) When using store-bought puff pastry, thaw it in the fridge overnight. If you don't have an ovenproof 9- or 10-inch skillet, simply transfer the mixture to a similar-sized round or square baking dish.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 leek, finely chopped into ¼-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 fennel bulb, cored and finely diced into ¼-inch pieces (about 14 ounces)
2 medium Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes, peeled and finely diced into ¼-inch pieces (about 14 ounces)
16 to 20 asparagus spears, trimmed and sliced into ¼-inch pieces (about 12 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
Black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1 cup vegetable stock
8 ounces sour cream
1 bunch of chives, finely sliced (about ½ cup)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup grated Gruyère (about 3 ounces)
1 (14-ounce) sheet puff pastry, completely thawed
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon of water

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the middle position, and heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and set aside.
  • Heat a 9- to 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium high. Add the olive oil, leek, garlic and fennel, and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened. Add the potatoes, asparagus and salt, then season with black pepper and stir. Scatter with the flour and give it a quick stir to coat well. Add the stock, sour cream, chives, Dijon mustard and Gruyère, and stir until well combined. Remove from heat.
  • On a lightly floured surface using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the pastry 1 to 2 inches wider than the skillet. Carefully place the puff pastry over the top of the skillet and trim any long edges, then, working quickly, tuck and fold in the edges of the pastry so it sits just inside the rim of the skillet, to create a rough border. Brush the pastry with egg wash and carefully score the top with a few slits to allow air to escape during baking.
  • Place the skillet on the baking sheet and transfer to the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry is golden and bubbling around the edges. Let sit for 10 minutes before eating.

Tips:

  • Choose the right skillet: Use a large, deep skillet with a tight-fitting lid. This will help to ensure that the pot pie cooks evenly and the filling doesn't bubble over.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When adding the chicken and vegetables to the skillet, make sure to leave some space between each piece. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent the filling from becoming mushy.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: The chicken broth is an important part of the pot pie filling, so be sure to use a good quality broth. You can use store-bought or homemade chicken broth.
  • Season the filling to taste: Be sure to season the filling with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.
  • Don't overcook the filling: The filling should be cooked until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. However, be careful not to overcook the filling, as this can make it dry and tough.
  • Use a refrigerated pie crust: A refrigerated pie crust is a quick and easy way to make a pot pie. You can also use a homemade pie crust if you prefer.
  • Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown: Bake the pot pie in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Skillet pot pie is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken or vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a skillet pot pie that is sure to please the whole family.
