THE LADY AND SONS EASY PEACH COBBLER ( PAULA DEEN )



The Lady and Sons Easy Peach Cobbler ( Paula Deen ) image

It was an instant hit on the first day Paula Deen offered this dessert at The Lady & Sons, and remains so today. This delicious cobbler can be found on their dessert trays at both lunch and dinnertime. It's so easy to make you won't believe it! COOKS NOTES: If they are available by all means use fresh peaches. In a saucepan, mix two cups fresh peach slices with one cup sugar and one cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. An almost equally good product is frozen peach slices. Simply follow the instructions for the fresh peach slices. NOTE: This is an adopted (late in 2006) recipe and there was already some discussion about the amount of butter necessary in reviews made previous to my inheriting this recipe: Now that I have made it myself, I can say that for me at least, 60 grams (1/4 cup) of butter was fine, (by all means use a little less if you prefer) and my dumplings didn't turn out doughy at all... what I DID mess up was using a larger can of peaches (non-metric sizes of canned fruit don't translate perfectly into metric ones), so I thought that the extra wouldn't matter much, mine was swimming rather a lot in the juice at the bottom and next time I will use all the peaches but only half or 3/4 of the juice from my metric sized can.. Taste was excellent and guests devoured it. I'm delighted to have inherited this recipe, so to both Paula Deen and the previous Zaar owner: Thanks for an excellent recipe !!!

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup self-rising flour
3/4 cup milk
1 (28 ounce) can peach slices in heavy syrup, undrained (or use fresh if available, see note)
cinnamon, for sprinkling (optional, use only with peach or apple cobbler)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place butter in oven in a 2-quart baking dish to melt.
  • Stir sugar and flour together and mix well. Slowly add milk and continue to stir to prevent the batter from lumping.
  • Being careful not to burn yourself, remove hot baking dish containing melted butter from oven; pour batter directly over butter in baking dish (DO NOT STIR).
  • Spoon fruit on top of batter, then gently pour syrup on top (DO NOT STIR). Sprinkle with cinnamon, if using. The most important part of this dish is not stirring the mixture.
  • Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Your batter will rise above your fruit, producing the most wonderful of crusts. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

A hearty chicken and dumplings recipe that is perfect on a cold day or to satisfy a craving for something savory and inexpensive. Recipe as follows compliments of chef Paula Deen.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (2 1/2 lb) roasting chickens, cut into 8 pieces
3 celery ribs, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 bay leaves
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon house seasoning (see Paula Deen's House Seasoning Mix)
10 3/4 ounces cream of celery soup (canned) or 10 3/4 ounces cream of chicken soup (canned)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
ice water

Steps:

  • To start the chicken: Place the chicken, celery, onion, bay leaves, bouillon, and House Seasoning in a large pot. Add 4 quarts of water and in water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer the chicken until it is tender and the thigh juices run clear, about 40 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and, when it is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and separate the meat from the bones. Return the chicken meat to the pot. Keep warm over low heat.
  • To prepare the dumplings: Mix the flour with the salt and mound together in a mixing bowl. Beginning at the center of the mound, drizzle a small amount of ice water over the flour. Using your fingers, and moving from the center to the sides of the bowl, gradually incorporate about 3/4 cup of ice water. Knead the dough and form it into ball.
  • Dust a good amount of flour onto a clean work surface. Roll out the dough (it will be firm), working from center to 1/8-inch thick. Let the dough relax for several minutes.
  • Add the cream of celery soup to the pot with the chicken and simmer gently over medium-low heat.
  • Cut the dough into 1-inch pieces. Pull a piece in half and drop the halves into the simmering soup. Repeat. Do not stir the chicken once the dumplings have been added. Gently move the pot in a circular motion so the dumplings become submerged and cook evenly. Cook until the dumplings float and are no longer doughy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • To serve, ladle chicken, gravy, and dumplings into warm bowls.
  • Cook's Note: If the chicken stew is too thin it can be thickened before the dumplings are added. Simply mix together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water then whisk this mixture into the stew.

LADY AND SONS CHICKEN POT PIE (PAULA DEEN)



Lady and Sons Chicken Pot Pie (Paula Deen) image

This recipe originated with Paula Deen of Food Network fame. You could easily add more chicken and vegetables and serve 6 with the same amount of sauce and pastry as well as substitute a lower-calorie milk for all of the cream. Enjoy those calories, we did! I'm going for a long walk now!

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 -4 sheets frozen puff pastry (her original recipe called for 4, I felt 2 was plenty)
1 egg, beaten
4 chicken breast halves (or 2 cups leftover cooked chicken)
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1/3 cup butter
2/3 cup all-purpose flour (or less ( see chef's note in directions)
1 quart milk (Paula's recipe called for cream)
1/4 cup chicken base (or less ( see chef's note in directions)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 small yellow onion, minced
1 cup frozen green pea, cooked
1 cup chopped cooked carrot
1 pinch fresh grated nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • For Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F Cover large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Cut each sheet of frozen puff pastry into 1-inch strips long enough to cover each pie. On cookie sheet, weave strips into squares. (I made one large square to cover 8x8 casserole with pieces close together. As a result, it didn't cook all the way through in the center.) Brush beaten egg onto each lattice square.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until pastry has risen and is a nice golden brown. (It should be cooked through at this stage). Set aside until ready to assemble pies.
  • For Filling: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until cooked through. Remove from heat and cut into chunks.
  • In a large saucepan melt butter and then slowly add flour, stirring until consistency of peanut butter, but do not brown like a roux. NOTE: You may not need all of the flour--stop with it is the right consistency--it may only take 1/4 cup. Slowly add cream and keep stirring.
  • Add chicken base (NOTE: here again you may not want to use all 1/4 cup--it may be too salty so use caution), garlic, and onion and stir until thickened.
  • Add cooked peas and carrots, nutmeg, if using, and cut up chicken. Remove from heat.
  • To serve fill 4 individual oven-proof bowls with chicken mixture and then top each with a pre-cooked lattice square.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to prevent the chicken from burning.

  • Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is golden brown and cooked through.
  • To make the pecan sauce, use fresh pecans for the best flavor.
  • Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
  • Use a food processor or blender to grind the pecans into a fine powder.
  • Add the pecan powder to the melted butter and cook over medium heat until the sauce is thickened.
  • Serve the pecan chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or rice.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Lady and Sons Pecan Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is crispy and juicy, and the pecan sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
