Companys Coming Chicken Pot Pie Recipes

COMPANY'S COMING CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Place chopped onions, garlic and exotic mushroom mixture into a large 12" skillet with butter, cover, and heat over low heat until the onions are transparent.
• Meanwhile, tear apart the chicken, tearing the pieces into bite-sized bits. If you like dark meat, include it, but I save it for flavouring instant soups. That means I use 2-3 cups of White Meat for the recipe.
• When onion/garlic/mushroom mixture is softened, add chicken, cream of chicken soup, the sour cream, milk, wine, herbs and frozen vegetables to skillet. If you plan on making this NOW, heat until very hot, but not boiling. If you plan on having it later, heat until just warm and flavours are allowed to mingle, then stick mixture in frig, in skillet.
• When you're ready to make this, spray an 11" x 7" oven-proof pan with non-stick spray. Heat oven to 375 degrees or what biscuit directions state on package. Heat mixture until very hot, pour into casserole dish.
• Melt butter in a deep bowl with Italian Seasonings. Open package of rolls and place on top of chicken mixture. Brush rolls with the melted butter/herb mixture.
• Bake in oven for 15-25 minutes until ROLLS ARE DONE and mixture is bubbling. My baking time was 18 minutes.
• Scoop one biscuit out onto deep bowl or rimmed plate and spoon chicken sauce either around it or directly over it.

COMPANY CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Poach chicken in chicken broth and seasoning for approximately 20 - 30 minutes or until juices run clear, turning over half way through cooking time in medium size pot, cool and chop into cubes, set aside.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Place 1 crust in ungreased pie pan (I used a deep dish ceramic pie pan).
• Melt butter over medium low heat in medium size sauce pan, whisk in flour and seasonings cook until creamy and bubbly, slowly whisk in broth and cream and heat until boiling stirring constantly. Boil for a minute or 2. TASTE (this is where you want to adjust seasoning according to your familys taste. Fold in chopped chicken and veggies until fully smothered with the yummy sauce.
• Pour into pastry lined pan and place second pie crust over filling. Press bottom and top pastries together around edges to seal the crust together so the filling doesn't seep out while baking. Make what ever kind of edges you like.
• Cut a couple of slits in top of crust to allow steam to escape so the crust will bake on top of filling. Don't forget to do this, you don't want your filling to end up with a space between it and the pie crust.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 35 - 45 minutes. (Check at 30 minutes to see if you need to put foil over top to reduce excessive browning).
• Let sit for 15 minutes or so to set the filling.
