Chicken Kale Mushroom Pot Pie Recipes

CHICKEN, KALE & MUSHROOM POT PIE

Steps:

• Heat ½ tbsp oil over a gentle heat in a flameproof casserole dish. Add the onion and cook for 5 mins until softening. Scatter over the thyme and garlic, and stir for 1 min. Turn up the heat and add the chicken, frying until golden but not fully cooked. Add the mushrooms and the remaining oil. Heat oven to 200C/180 fan/gas 6.
• Add the stock, crème fraîche, mustard and kale, and season well. Add the cornflour mixture and stir until thickened a little.
• Remove from the heat and cover with the puff pastry lid, pressing into the sides of the casserole dish. Slice a cross in the centre and glaze with the egg. Bake for 30 mins until the pastry is puffed up and golden.

GRAM'S CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot, place chicken and water to cover. Bring to a boil and let simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, adding water as needed. When chicken is boiled and tender, pick all the meat off of the bones.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Open 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and pour into a small saucepan. Add frozen peas and carrots, water and chicken bouillon to taste. Simmer all together until the soup is smooth. Add chicken meat and mix all together.
• Pour chicken and soup mixture into one pie crust and cover with the other crust. Seal the edges and cut a small steam hole in the top crust. Bake in the preheated oven 30 to 35 minutes or until crust is brown. Yummy!

MUSHROOM POTPIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Bring 2 cups of water to boil in a small pot. Place the porcini mushrooms in a medium bowl and pour the boiling water on top; set aside to soak and soften.
• Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Working in two batches so the mushrooms brown evenly, add half the oyster mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, undisturbed, until browned underneath, about 3 minutes. Stir the mushrooms, then continue to cook until browned all over, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat with 2 tablespoons oil and the remaining oyster mushrooms; transfer them to the medium bowl. Add another 2 tablespoons oil, then add the cremini mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 6 to 8 minutes, lowering the heat as needed to avoid burning. Transfer to the bowl.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once the butter is melted, add the onion and cook until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the kale, garlic, thyme and rosemary, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons oil if the pan seems dry. Sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring, until flour is dispersed and lightly toasted, 2 minutes.
• Stirring constantly, gradually add the stock, cream and 3/4 cup of the liquid from the soaking porcini mushrooms. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in the carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and the sautéed mushrooms and any accumulated juices. Strain the soaked porcini mushrooms, discarding any remaining liquid, then roughly chop the mushrooms and stir them into the filling. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (If making ahead, the filling can be refrigerated a day in advance; just warm it up slightly before assembling and baking.)
• On a lightly dusted work surface using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry into a roughly 14-inch circle. Transfer to the top of the skillet, allowing slight overhang, folding under and pinching any overhang just below the rim of the skillet. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon water. Lightly brush the egg wash over the top of the puff pastry, then cut 5 (2-inch) slits into the puff pastry, starting near the center and radiating outward, like the rays of the sun, or create a stripe or crisscross pattern in the puff pastry by gently scoring it with a paring knife without fully cutting through. Crimp the edges using the tines of a fork, if desired.
• Set the skillet on top of an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and transfer to the middle rack of the oven. Bake until the puff pastry is puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM POTPIES

Steps:

• Make the filling: Cook bacon in a large saucepan over low heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate using a slotted spoon. Raise heat to medium, and add oil. Add onion, and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add mushrooms, carrots, and celery, and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in flour.
• Add stock, and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cream. Simmer until chicken is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Return bacon to saucepan. Let cool.
• Divide filling among eight 4-inch (12 ounce) ramekins.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the topping: Roll out pate brisee to a 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out 8 circles that are 1 inch wider than the ramekins. Top ramekins with dough, and crimp edges with a fork to seal. Brush dough with egg wash. Freeze for 20 minutes.
• Bake until toppings are golden and fillings are bubbling, about 40 minutes.

CREAMY CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add oil. Add chicken and cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour and stir until chicken is coated in flour.
• Stir in mushrooms, ham, green onion, and garlic. Slowly add 1/4 cup milk while stirring. Cook until mixture is creamy, adding more milk if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 more minutes, then transfer to a medium casserole dish or divide into separate small ramekins.
• Wait until the mixture has cooled slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Put puff pastry over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastry has browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

CREAMY CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM PIES

Steps:

• For the pies: Place a large sheet pan on a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, tossing the mushrooms occasionally, until they soften and turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the chicken, mustard and chives. Add the cream cheese and stir until the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat.
• Lightly flour a work surface and roll the pastry into an 11-inch square. Cut the pastry in half. Divide the chicken and mushroom mixture in half and place each half on one end of each rectangle of pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides.
• Brush the border with the egg and fold over the other half of the puff pastry. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges. Cut slits in the tops of the pies to vent. Brush the tops of the pies lightly with the egg. Transfer the pies to the hot baking sheet and bake until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the salad: Whisk together the lemon juice, oil and mustard in a large bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fold in the thinly sliced onions and toss occasionally to soften, 5 to 10 minutes.
• When ready to serve, toss the lettuce and chives into the dressing.
