Cheating Chicken Pot Pie Recipes

CHICKEN POT PIE RECIPE, THE CHEATER'S VERSION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° F.
• Reheat chicken stew in a sauce pot or soup pot over low heat until just simmering and heated through. (You may of course make the stew in preparation for the pot pies, I just happened to have it left over from the day before.)
• Place ramekins on a baking sheet. Ladle stew into ramekins or other oven safe bowls, distributing evenly. Fill to top of bowls or ramekins.
• Whisk egg and milk together, set aside.
• Roll out biscuits (you may need to double them up, depending on the size of your serving dishes). brush rim of bowl or ramekin with egg mixture and lay biscuit dough over containers, pressing gently at the edges to seal the dough in place. cut four small slits in the top of each top to allow steam to escape. (careful, the stew is HOT)
• Brush tops of biscuits with egg mixture. Place sheet pan in oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until tops are a deep golden brown.
• Remove from oven and allow to rest approximately 5 minutes before serving.

CHEATER POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly butter a 9 inch deep dish pie pan with melted butter; reserve some of the melted butter.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine mixed vegetables and chicken; cook until vegetables are tender. Fold in soup; mix well. Pour in milk and mix until smooth; mixture should not be runny. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil.
• Remove from heat and spread mixture into bottom of pie pan. Separate biscuits into layers and place gently on top of mixture. Drizzle remaining butter on top of biscuit layers.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN POTPIE WITH CHEDDAR CRUST

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.

CHEATER'S CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Peel and cube potatoes and set to boil in slightly salted water to make mashed potatoes.
• Take leftover chicken or turkey and cut into 1" cubes, add to casserole dish.
• Measure out veggies, frozen or fresh and mix in with chicken/turkey.
• Add 1.5 cans of cream of chicken soup. I used whatever it took to coat the chicken and veggies. This is the stage I season at so add what you think would taste good ;) If it seems too thick you can add a little water or milk, but remember that heating it will also make it thinner.
• When potatoes are soft and water is slightly cloudy remove from heat and drain. Mash the potatoes with a mixer or by hand, adding butter or plain yogurt and the remaining cream of chicken soup. If potatoes are too stiff, add milk, but you don't want them to be runny. You will also want to salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour mashed potatoes over the chicken and veggie mix. I usually top it with a couple shakes of paprika for color.
• Bake covered at 450 for 30 minutes or until the filling starts to bubble up around the mashed potatoes.
• Remove from oven and let set for at least 5 minutes, the inside of that potpie will be like molten lava!
• Enjoy! Makes great next day lunch.

SKILLET CHICKEN POTPIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or other heavy bottom skillet) over medium heat. Sear chicken, skin-side down, until deeply golden brown and some of the fat has begun to render out, 5 to 8 minutes. Rotate chicken and continue to cook on all sides until evenly browned and cooked through, an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken, keeping all the drippings in the skillet, and let cool slightly on a plate.
• To the drippings, add carrots, celery, garlic, onion and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender and just cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add flour and stir to coat all the vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until the flour has started to turn a light golden brown with no white, floury bits left, about 3 minutes.
• Slowly add the chicken broth or stock ½ cup at a time, using a wooden spoon to blend and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Once all the broth or stock is added, bring to a simmer and remove from heat.
• Remove the bones and skin from the chicken and shred the meat and skin (discard any skin that is too thick or rubbery) into bite-size pieces or, alternatively, cut it with a knife and fork into bite-size pieces. (If you discover at this stage any pieces of chicken that are not completely cooked through, don't worry; they will finish cooking in the oven.) Add the peas, parsley and chicken and season once more with salt and pepper.
• Carefully unfold the puff pastry and working quickly, place it on top of the skillet (do not worry about it being a perfect circle), letting some of the dough hang off the sides (this will keep it from shrinking too much).
• Whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon of water and brush onto the top of the puff pastry. Cut three 2½-inch slits, about 1-inch apart and place the skillet on top of the sheet pan to catch any drips in the oven.
• Bake until puff pastry is golden brown on top and filling is starting to bubble up, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375 degrees and continue to cook until puff pastry is baked through all the way and filling has thickened considerably, another 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let cool slightly before eating.
