Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ large white onion, diced
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
¾ cup frozen peas
½ cup mushrooms, chopped
⅓ cup carrots, chopped
1 ¼ cups chicken broth
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
½ cup cold buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin and place on a baking sheet.
  • Heat oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat; add onion to the hot oil and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add chicken; cook and stir until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add peas, mushrooms, and carrots, followed by chicken broth. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and mixture thickens slightly, 10 to 15 minutes more.
  • Whisk flour and salt together in a medium bowl. Work butter into the mixture using your fingers, working quickly to prevent melting, until thoroughly mixed. Scoop mixture into a volcano-shaped cone with a well in the top. Pour in buttermilk. Bring dough together using a fork, trying to moisten all flour bits, until moist and shaggy.
  • Take a ball of batter and smooth into one of the prepared muffin cups. Fill with chicken mixture. Repeat until all muffin cups are filled. Cover each with a rolled layer of dough, sealing sides to prevent filling from spilling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Continue to bake until crust is light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes more. Serve immediately.

MINI CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI POT PIES



Mini Chicken and Broccoli Pot Pies image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 12 mini pies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 small store-bought rotisserie chicken breast, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces (about 3/4 cup meat)
1 cup broccoli florets, cut into 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces, steamed (about 2 ounces)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Two 10-inch round unfold-and-bake frozen pie crusts, thawed
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12-count mini-muffin pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
  • For the pot pie filling: Melt the butter in a 1-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the salt, pepper, Parmesan, chicken and broccoli.
  • For assembly: On a lightly-floured work surface, roll out the dough 1/8-inch thick. Using the 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 12 pieces of dough. Using the 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out another 12 pieces of dough. Press the large rounds of dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spoon the sauce into the pastry.
  • Combine the egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl, using a fork. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg mixture and place the remaining pieces of dough on top. Lightly press the edges of the dough together to seal. Press around the edges of the pies using the tines of a fork. Brush the tops of each pie with the beaten egg. Cut a 1/2-inch-long slit into the top of the pies using a paring knife. Bake until the tops are golden and the filling is bubbling, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes and serve.

Categories     Chicken     Herb     Quick & Easy     High Fiber     Dinner     Bacon     Green Bean     Carrot     Phyllo/Puff Pastry Dough     Bon Appétit     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 applewood-smoked bacon slices
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
12 ounces peeled whole baby carrots (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 8-ounce package trimmed haricots verts or other slender green beans, halved crosswise
4 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram
1 3/4 cups low-salt chicken broth
2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon crème fraîche
3 cups coarsely shredded chicken from 1 small purchased roasted chicken (skin removed)
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17.3-ounce package), thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450F. Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Chop bacon. Add onion to drippings in skillet; sauté until tender and golden, about 8 minutes. Add next 3 ingredients; stir 1 minute. Add broth; bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to mediumhigh and boil until vegetables are almost tender and some liquid is reduced, about 8 minutes. Stir in 2/3 cup crème fraîche, chicken, and bacon. Bring to simmer. Season with pepper. Divide among four 2-cup soufflé dishes.
  • Unfold puff pastry onto work surface; roll out to 12-inch square. Cut into 4 equal squares. Top filling in soufflé dishes with pastry; fold edges down onto rims of dish. Brush top of crusts (not edges) with remaining 1 tablespoon crème fraîche. Cut small X in center of crusts; pierce all over with fork. Bake until crusts are golden brown and filling is heated through, about 22 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a golden brown crust, brush the tops of the pies with an egg wash before baking.
  • If you don't have a mini muffin pan, you can use a regular muffin pan and just fill the cups halfway.
  • To make the pies ahead of time, assemble them and freeze them unbaked. When you're ready to serve, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then bake them according to the recipe instructions.
  • You can also make the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to assemble the pies, just heat the filling until it's warmed through and then proceed with the recipe.
  • If you're using a store-bought pie crust, be sure to thaw it according to the package instructions before using it.
  • These mini chicken pies are a great appetizer or main course. Serve them with a side of mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Easy Mini Chicken Pies are the perfect comfort food. They're flaky, creamy, and full of flavor. Plus they're easy to make, which makes them a great weeknight meal. Experiment with your favorite chicken fillings and vegetables for your filling for a mouthwatering dish that never gets old!
