CHICKEN POTPIE WITH CHEDDAR CRUST



Chicken Potpie With Cheddar Crust image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 5 ounces)
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
1 3 1/2-to-4-pound roasted or rotisserie chicken
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped
5 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
6 stalks celery, chopped
6 carrots, chopped
Kosher salt
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps sliced
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
2/3 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Pulse the flour, fine salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor. Add the cheese, butter and shortening; pulse until the butter is in pea-size bits. Add 1/2 cup ice water and pulse until the dough just starts to come together. Turn out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Discard the chicken skin and shred the meat; set aside. Put the bones in a pot and add the chicken broth. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Strain the broth and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Melt the butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, thyme, celery, carrots and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; cook, stirring, until soft, about 6 minutes. Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and cook until soft, about 6 more minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add the wine; cook until almost evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the broth, cream and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until thick, about 3 minutes. Add the parsley, shredded chicken, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a 3-to-4-quart baking dish.
  • Roll out the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper until slightly larger than the baking dish. Drape the dough over the filling, press it against the inside of the dish and trim. Brush with cream, then cut a few slits in the top. Put on a baking sheet; bake until golden, about 35 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

SUNNY'S SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN POT PIE



Sunny's Southwestern Chicken Pot Pie image

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.

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut in 1-inch cubes
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 medium onions, peeled and diced
3 cups carrots, cut into 1/4-inch dice
3 ribs celery, diced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned

3 eggs, separated
1 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
2 large scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For the pie, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken and sear until browned, about 5 minutes. Place in a 12-by-3 1/2-inch round clay casserole dish. Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the skillet and brown the remaining chicken. Place in the dish. Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
  • Place 2 teaspoons of oil in the skillet, lower the heat slightly and add the onions, carrots, celery and jalapenos. Saute for 8 minutes. Add 1 cup of broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes. Stir the vegetable mixture into the chicken. Stir in the remaining broth, cumin, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoons of salt and pepper. Stir 1/4 cup of the stew liquid into the flour, then stir the mixture back into the stew. Set aside.

Whisk for 20 seconds and remove from the heat. Place in a large bowl, mix in the butter and let cool. In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, baking powder and pepper. Gradually stir the egg mixture into the cornmeal mixture. Stir in the cheese and scallions. Whip the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold into the cornmeal mixture.

SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN POT PIE



Southwestern Chicken Pot Pie image

Mmmmmmmmm, really delish and a comfort food for dh and I. Easy to prepare, not much time involved. My dh showed me this in our state daily newspaper and said he'd like for me to try it. I did and fix it alot now. I serve it with warm flour tortilla's w/butter and sometimes warmed nacho chips and salsa. It's very filling and if we don't want it the next day, I have frozen it with success. Also, I have used a can of green chilis instead of the adobo seasoning and think you could spice it as hot as you want with jalepenos. We just don't do hot or really spicy. Also, the last time I only had cheddar cheese and it turned out fine, but it is better with the monterey jack/cheddar blend. Thanks for trying one of our favorite dinners!

1985 CHICKEN PIE WITH BISCUIT CRUST

Categories     Chicken     Potato     Bake     Winter     Chill     Simmer     Boil     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 23

For the filling
4 cups chicken broth
3 carrots, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
3/4 pound red potatoes, quartered lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
2 large ribs of celery, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
2 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken (the meat from a 3-pound chicken)
1 onion, chopped
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, or to taste
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
For the biscuit crust
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
2 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening, cut into bits
1/3 cup grated sharp Cheddar
1 large egg
about 1/3 cup buttermilk
an egg wash made by beating 1 large egg yolk with 1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Make the filling:
  • In a saucepan bring the broth to a boil, add the carrots, the potatoes, and the celery, and simmer the vegetables, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are tender. Transfer the vegetables with a slotted spoon to a large bowl, reserving the broth, and add the chicken to the bowl. In another saucepan cook the onion in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened, add the flour, and cook the roux, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add 3 cups of the reserved broth in a stream, whisking, reserving any remaining broth for another use, and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking. Add the thyme and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir in the nutmeg, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste, pour the sauce over the chicken mixture, and stir the mixture gently until it is just combined. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart shallow baking dish or divide it among four 2-cup shallow baking dishes. The filling may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Bring the mixture to room temperature before continuing with the recipe.
  • Make the biscuit crust:
  • Into a bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder, the baking soda, and the salt, add the butter and the shortening, and blend the mixture until it resembles meal. Add the Cheddar and toss the mixture. Into a liquid measuring cup break the egg, add enough of the buttermilk to measure a total of 1/2 cup, and beat the mixture with a fork. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until the mixture just forms a dough, gather the dough into a ball, and on a floured surface pat it out 1/2 inch thick. Cut out as many rounds as possible with a 2-inch fluted round cutter dipped in flour, gathering the scraps and patting the dough out again in the same manner.
  • Arrange the rounds on the chicken mixture, brush the tops of the rounds with the egg wash, and prick the rounds with a fork. Bake the pie in the middle of a preheated 450°F. oven for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden and the filling is bubbling.
