Chicken Pot Pie Without The Pie Recipes

CHICKEN IN A POT, NO PIE

Steps:

• Heat a large, deep skillet or a medium soup pot over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and butter. Melt butter into oil then add the potatoes, onions, celery and carrots, adding them to the pot as you chop them. Add bay leaf and season veggies with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning, cook 5 to 6 minutes to soften them a bit. Add flour and cook another minute then whisk in wine and cook off a minute more. Add stock and put a lid on the pan or pot and raise heat to bring to a quick boil. Slide in chicken and cook 5 minutes. Stir in asparagus and cook 3 minutes more. Turn off heat and add the peas and tarragon. Stir to combine and adjust salt and pepper, to your taste. Ladle into bowls and serve with crusty bread for mopping.

CHICKEN POT PIE WITHOUT THE CRUST

Steps:

• Place chicken in large pot.
• Steam red potato cubes in small amount of water in microwave for 4 to 5 minutes and place in the pot with chicken.
• Steam celery, leek, and red bell pepper in small amount of water in microwave for 2 minutes and place in pot.
• Cook mixed vegetables in microwave according to package directions and add to pot. I use PictSweet All Natural Steamables and place the unopened bag in the microwave for 6 or 7 minutes, then I cut open the bag and add vegetables to the pot.
• Cut cheddar cheese into small pieces and place in pot with other ingredients.
• Place cream of chicken soup, half and half, curry powder, and parmesan cheese in small mixing bowl and stir until well blended.
• Pour sauce into pot with other ingredients and stir gently to combine and until cheese has melted.
• Place pot on burner with low heat for approximately 30 minutes, until heated thoroughly. Be careful not to heat too quickly as mixture will stick and burn. Stir gently every ten minutes or so to keep ingredients from sticking.

CHICKEN POT PIE WITHOUT THE PIE

Steps:

• • Saute onion until translucent to light brown. Remove the onion leaving the oil in the pan. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and brown them in the remaining oil. Remove the chicken and tear or cut it into pieces. Again leave any remaining oil in the pan.
• • Spray an 8 X 8 inch pyrex dish with Pam and put vegetables (frozen or defrosted but not cooked), onion and potatoes in bottom.
• • In the same pan add enough oil so that you have about a scant 1/3 cup in the pan. Add the flour, salt, pepper and celery seeds and stir constantly over medium heat until the oil and flour are combined and starts to brown. This cooks the flour a bit and helps it from tasting pasty. Slowly add the broth and milk and stir constantly with a wisk over medium heat until it thickens. Pour mixture over vegetables.
• • Pour mixture over the vegetables.
• • Mix 1/2 cup flour with baking powder then using a pastry cutter add the Crisco or oil to the mix until it is all blended well.
• • Add milk and eggs to flour mixture and stir until most lumps are gone and pour over all.
• • Bake at 350 degrees until edges start to brown and it is bubbly on edges. If the center looks underdone it should still be fine because it continues to cook a bit after you take it out of the oven. You can serve it in squares as you would lasagna.

CHICKLESS POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the carrots, peas, potatoes and celery. Cover with water, bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain and set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onions in the butter substitute until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, celery seed and garlic powder. Cook for 2 minutes to get the flour taste out. Slowly stir in the broth and then add the milk. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the drained vegetables. Roll out one of the unbaked crusts and place in a 9-inch-deep pie plate. Pour the mixture into the bottom crust.
• Roll out the second pie crust and place on top. Seal the edges and cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

EASY CHICKEN POT PIE (WITHOUT ALL THE CREAM)

Steps:

• Place 1-2 pastry shells on foil lined cookie sheet for each person who will be dining and cook according to the package directions. Once cooked, set aside to cool.
• Place all the veggies into another sauce pot filled with boiling, salted water. Cook until carrots are tender (usually 5-8 minutes) and pierced easily with a fork. Drain veggies and set aside.
• In a sauce pot melt two tablespoons butter over medium heat and add 2 ½ tablespoons flour. Combine flour and butter and allow to bubble and cook (do not let it brown). Add chicken broth a little at a time and whisk to combine. Combination will thicken quickly so be sure to add more broth as needed to create a sauce that coats the back of a spoon.
• Lower heat to Low and add in freshly chopped parsley, grind in black pepper and salt to taste. Depending on the chicken broth you use, you may not need to add salt so be sure to taste the sauce before seasoning.
• Add the veggies and chicken to the sauce.
• To plate, grab pastry shells, pop out the center with a fork and spoon in the pot pie filling. Sprinkle with any remaining fresh parsley and -- enjoy.

Steps:

• Mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening, butter and cheese till crumbs form. Add water and toss with a fork just until dough just forms a ball.
• Turn onto lightly floured board. Press large chunks away with heel of hand. Gather and repeat. Shape into thick circle. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 30 minutes.
• Stew chicken with enough water to cover it, along with the onion and celery, until done. This usually takes from 60 to 90 minutes.
• Remove chicken from broth. Debone and skin. Chop meat.
• Skim off fat from broth. Discard the celery and onion. Reserve 3 cups broth for this recipe. (The more concentrated the broth, the better.).
• Melt butter. Add flour. Cook and stir until bubbly. Add reserved broth and evaporated milk. Don't just dump all the liquids into the flour mixture--work in about 1/4 cup at a time until it is thinned out, and then you can increase how much liquid you can work in each time. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in chicken. Put chicken filling in a round casserole dish.
• Roll out dough, a little bigger than your dish so that you can have some dough to crimp. Place dough over chicken filling. Crimp edges.
• Bake at 425 degrees for about 30-60 minutes or until crust is golden. If you check it and the edges of the pie are looking browned before the rest of it is ready, put foil over the edges -- just make like a long little tent and loosely attach over the edges.
