SKILLET CHICKEN POT PIE



Skillet Chicken Pot Pie image

This is a recipe shown on America's Test Kitchen on PBS. This is the first dish I tried to make from their recipes and it turns out excellent! The "Pie Crust" topping are actually biscuits that you dip into the thickened chicken pot pie broth. It is so incredibly easy. The biscuits that top the chicken that ATK used were James Beard's Cream Biscuits, but I rarely have cream to use, and I just used regular milk and they still turned out great! You can double the biscuit recipe if you need more, this one should make about a dozen.

Categories     Breads

Time 1h

Yield 12 Biscuits, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 chicken breasts
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper, added so season the chicken and some more to season the broth
1 onion, Chopped
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
2 cups milk (Can use heavy cream if you have it for a richer broth!)
2 cups mixed frozen peas and carrots (You can add some more if needed)
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F to have hot and ready for the biscuits.
  • Heat a large skillet pan on high heat and melt the butter. Salt and Pepper the chicken to season it well. Lay the chicken breasts on the thick side down into the pan. Cook for about 7 minutes and turn, and cook for about 3-5 minutes, and when the second side is slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and lay on a plate. The chicken does not need to be cooked through yet because it will continue to cook later.
  • Add the remaining butter to the pan and add the chopped onions. Add about 1 tsp salt to the onions and sauté for about 5 minutes and they are cooked. Add the flour to the onions and stir the flour in well. Add about 1 cup of Water and stir with a wire whisk until the flour is mixed in well. Add the chicken broth and the milk and stir well. Season the sauce well with the poultry seasoning and salt and pepper for taste.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, adding the juices onto the plate from the chicken, which will add some great flavor! Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Start to prepare your biscuits by adding the flour to a medium size bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Transfer the dough to a well floured counter surface and knead the dough for about 1 minute. Don't try to knead for too long or that may make the biscuits turn out tough.
  • Roll the dough out with a rolling pin and with a round cookie cutter make individual biscuits. Place them onto a baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are browned.
  • Return to the skillet and remove the chicken from the pan. Allow the chicken breasts to sit for about 5 minutes or so.
  • Add the frozen peas and carrots and stir well. Put the lid back on and cook for about 5 minutes. While the frozen vegetables are cooking through, cut the chicken into bite size pieces and return them to the skillet.
  • When the peas and carrots are cooked through, the biscuits should be done.
  • Pour the chicken sauce into a bowl and top with the biscuits. Enjoy by dipping the biscuits into the chicken broth!

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup frozen white pearl onions, thawed
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 small bunch kale, center ribs and stems removed, leaves chopped
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 small butternut squash, peeled, cut into 1/2" pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 rotisserie chicken, meat torn into bite-size pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (such as Dufour or Pepperidge Farm), thawed
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Place a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Heat oil in an 8" cast-iron or other heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add garlic and sage to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic begins to brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Add kale and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing often, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle flour over. Cook, stirring constantly, for 4 minutes.
  • Stir in broth, 1/2-cupful at a time, then add squash. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until squash is just softened and broth is thickened, 8-10 minutes. Add chicken to skillet, stir, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Unfold pastry and smooth any creases; place over skillet, allowing corners to hang over sides. Whisk egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush pastry with egg wash; cut four 1" slits in top to vent.
  • Bake pot pie until pastry is beginning to brown, 15-20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and bake until pastry is deep golden brown and crisp, 15-20 minutes longer. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet to ensure that all of the ingredients have enough space to cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a biscuit mix, you can use a pie crust mix instead.
  • To make the chicken pot pie filling ahead of time, simply cook the chicken and vegetables and then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to make the pot pie, simply assemble it and bake it according to the recipe instructions.
  • If you want a thicker filling, add more flour or cornstarch to the sauce.
  • You can also add other vegetables to the pot pie, such as peas, carrots, or corn.
  • To make a gluten-free chicken pot pie, use a gluten-free biscuit mix or pie crust mix.
