SUNNY'S SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN POT PIE

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 teaspoon sazon seasoning blend
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1 stick butter, cut into pieces and frozen
Pinch salt
1 pound chicken thighs and legs
8 sprigs fresh thyme
Salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 serrano pepper, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon sazon seasoning blend
6 cloves garlic, 4 smashed the other 2 thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups frozen peas, corn, onion, red pepper and black bean blend
1 1/2 cups frozen peas, corn, onion, red pepper and black bean blend
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup Mexican crema
1 egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the dough: In a cup, add 1/4 cup cold water and the sazon. Stir to dissolve and set aside. In a food processor, add the flour, butter and salt. Then pulse until the butter is in small pebbles throughout the flour. Slowly add the seasoned water in a stream while pulsing until dough comes together. Remove the dough from the processor, form in to a ball and flatten it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
  • For the filling: In a pot, add the chicken, half of the thyme, the smashed garlic cloves and fill the pot with enough water to cover the chicken by an inch. Sprinkle with a nice pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Then lower to a simmer and cook until the chicken reaches internal temperature of 165 degrees F, or juices run clear when punctured, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the chicken parts from the water and rest on a plate to cool. Reserve 1/4 cup of the poaching liquid.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, add the butter, oil, sliced garlic, serrano pepper, the remaining thyme, sazon, cumin, and season with a pinch of salt and few grinds of pepper. Saute while stirring until the pan is fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the frozen blend and reserved poaching liquid. Turn up the heat to create steam and continue stirring until the vegetable blend is cooked, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the flour in sprinkles and stir to combine. Then add the milk. Allow to simmer and thicken about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, remove the dough from the refrigerator and sprinkle a flat surface with flour. Flour a rolling pin and roll the dough into a circle about 1/8-inch thick. Using a knife or pizza wheel, trim the edges. Center the dough in a 8 or 9-inch pie dish, allowing the excess dough to drape over the edges.
  • Remove the skin from the poached chicken, pull the meat from the bones and shred or chop. Stir into the pot along with the crema. Pour the filling into the dough. Flap the excess edges over the top of the pie, making sure to not overlap too much dough at the joints. This amount of dough leaves a hole in the center to vent. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and a splash of water. Brush the egg wash gently on the top of the pie dough.
  • Bake until the crust is golden brown and the insides are bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

4 tablespoons salted butter
2 jalapeño peppers, stemmed, seeded and diced
2 poblano peppers, stemmed, seeded and diced
2 corncobs, kernels removed
1 large yellow onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 canned chipotle peppers, chopped
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1/2 recipe Perfect Pie Crust, recipe follows, or your favorite pie crust
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup grated pepper jack cheese
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces
1 large egg
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
5 tablespoons cold water, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the jalapeño and poblano peppers, corn and onion. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook to soften the vegetables, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until the flour has coated the vegetables, a minute or two (avoid letting the flour stick to the bottom of the skillet). Stirring constantly, slowly add the chicken broth. Stir in the cream, cilantro and chipotle peppers. Allow the sauce to come to the boil and thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Add the chicken and stir to combine.
  • Roll out the Pie Crust on a lightly-floured surface to an 11-inch circle, large enough to hang over the skillet. Carefully lay the crust over the skillet, pressing gently into the sides to seal. Brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle over the pepper jack cheese. Cut 2 to 3 small slits in the top and bake until the crust is golden, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly before serving, 10 minutes or so.
  • Combine the flour, salt, butter and shortening in a large bowl.
  • Using a pastry cutter, gradually work it all together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Beat the egg with a fork and add it to the mixture along with the vinegar.
  • Add the cold water.
  • Stir it all together until it comes together, adding another tablespoon or two of water if it needs the moisture.
  • Form the mixture into 2 balls and wrap them in individual plastic bags. If using immediately, chill for 20 minutes in the refrigerator before rolling out. If freezing, remove them from the freezer 30 minutes before you are ready to use them.
