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!

SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN POT PIE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Southwestern Chicken Pot Pie Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-176348

Number Of Ingredients 19

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
6 cloves garlic, 4 smashed the other 2 thinly sliced
Salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 serrano pepper, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon sazon seasoning blend
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Freshly ground black pepper
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. 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. 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.

[BROTH]
1 large bone-in chicken breast half, skin on
1/2 medium white onion, peeled and halved
1 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 carrot, peeled and quartered
5-6 black peppercorns
Salt to taste
Cold water to cover
[POT PIE]
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 cups hot chicken broth
1/2 small can (4.5 ounces) chopped green chiles, drained
1/4 cup frozen corn, defrosted
1/4 cup chopped cooked carrots
1/4 canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cups cooked chicken, diced large
[CRUST]
1/3 cup self-rising yellow cornmeal mix-I used House of Autry Self-Rising Cornmeal Mix
1 egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded jalapeño Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Broth In a large heavy pot, place all the ingredients and water to cover. Bring to a boil, skimming the scum from the top. Lower heat and cook gently until chicken has cooked. Remove the chicken from the broth; cool and remove meat from bones and roughly chop. Strain broth, discard vegetables. You should have at least 4 cups. At this time, you can cool both and refrigerate separately until you are ready to make the sauce for the pie. Pot Pie In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add onions and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Increase heat to medium, add flour, cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add hot broth gradually, stirring until sauce is smooth. Add drained chopped green chiles. Lower heat and cook for 10 minutes, or until sauce has thickened. Add corn, carrots, black beans and chicken. Cook several minutes to heat all the ingredients. Pour into 4-10 ounce ramekins, leaving 1/2 to 3/4-inch space for the topping. Top with jalapeño jack cheese cornbread batter. Cornbread Topping In a small bowl, combine cornmeal mix, egg, vegetable oil and 1/2 cup milk. Add shredded cheese and stir. If more milk is needed to create a batter consistency, add the remaining 1/4 cup milk until consistency is achieved. Preheat oven to 400° F. Divide batter among the 4 ramekins. Place ramekins on a baking pan. Bake about 25-30 minutes, or until cornbread has cooked through and sauce is bubbly and hot.
