New York Style Chicken Pot Pie Recipes

MODERN CHICKEN POTPIE

Steps:

• Heat oil and garlic together over low heat. When it sizzles, add bacon and onions and cook, stirring often, until fat is rendered and bacon is golden brown. Adjust the heat so the bacon slowly gives up its fat. Remove garlic clove and add mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms are browned and slightly softened.
• In a sealable plastic bag, combine flour, thyme, paprika, 2 large pinches salt and 1 large pinch pepper. Add chicken and shake well to coat.
• In the skillet with the bacon and mushrooms, add butter and melt over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and any flour that remains in the bag. Cook, stirring, until chicken pieces are golden and the flour on the bottom of the pan is browned. Pour in stock, Marsala and vinegar. Scrape bottom of pan, and let simmer about 5 minutes, until thickened. Taste for salt, pepper and vinegar and adjust the seasonings. Turn off heat and stir in parsley.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Transfer chicken and sauce to 9-inch round pie dish or 8-inch square baking dish. Roll out pie crust to desired shape and size. Drape crust over filling, making a few slits or decorative holes on top. Tuck edges down around filling and brush crust with egg wash. If the dish is piled high with filling, place on a baking sheet to catch any overflow before transferring to oven.
• Bake until crust is browned and filling is bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Let cool slightly, at least 10 minutes, before serving with a big spoon. If desired, garnish each serving with parsley.

TUSCAN CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a deep, round baking dish.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for one minute. Sprinkle the flour into the saucepan; cook and stir until mixture darkens slightly, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Stock. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in baby kale; cook until wilted. Add the cannellini beans, chicken, and plum tomatoes; stir. Season with oregano, basil, salt and pepper to taste. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish.
• Place pie crust on top of the chicken mixture. Tuck under or trim edges that extend over the sides. Make several slits in the crust with the tip of a sharp knife to allow steam to escape.
• Bake in preheat oven until crust has browned and mixture is bubbly, about 30 minutes.

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.

EASY CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a bowl combine the mixed vegetables, chicken, cream of chicken soup and milk. Pour mixture into one of the pie crusts. Turn the other crust over and pop out of the tin onto the top of the filled pie. Seal the edges and poke holes in top crust.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. When the butter is hot, add the garlic and saute for 1 minute or until it is golden. Add the onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, thyme and sage and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• In another saucepan, melt the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add the flour and mix well. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until pale golden. Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring with a wire whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes, then add to the vegetable mixture, along with the peas, corn and chicken. Return to a boil, remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• To serve the pies, fill heated bowls with the chicken mixture and top with puff-pastry lids. To eat, place the puff pastry on a heated plate, punch in the center with the back of a large spoon and pour the contents of the bowl over the puff pastry.

CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• To make the pastry: Combine the flour, salt and lard in a mixing bowl. Using two knives or a pastry blender, cut the flour and lard together, reducing the lard to pieces about the size of large peas. Add the ice water, mix together and gather the mass into a ball. The mixture should be quite moist and pliable, but not sticky. If sticky, knead in a little more flour. Cover the pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour, or until firm.
• Divide the pastry in half and roll each piece out on a floured board to about 1/8-inch thickness and about 12 inches in diameter. Fit one into a 9-inch shallow Pyrex pie dish, trimming the excess. Reserve the other pastry circle for the top. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Season the chicken legs with salt and pepper and place them, skin side up, in a small roasting pan. Bake for 35 minutes on the top rack of the oven. Remove from the oven and cool. Remove any fat from the pan and de glaze the cooking juices with 1/4 cup of water. Set aside.
• Remove all the meat from the legs and discard the skin and bones. Dice the meat and set aside (you should have about 2 heaping cups). Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the carrots, leeks, mushrooms, 1/2 cup water, thyme and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and let the vegetables sweat for 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 3 minutes. Then stir in 3/4 cup of milk and the deglazed cooking juices. Raise the heat and allow the mixture to thicken, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer another 3 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chicken and the peas, adjusting the seasonings. Pour the mixture into the pastry shell. Cover with the remaining circle of dough, trim off the excess and press the edges gently with the tines of a fork to seal. Combine the egg with the remaining milk and brush over the entire surface of the pie. Cut a small hole in the center of the dough and bake for 50 minutes or until brown on top. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before serving.

FAMILY-STYLE CHICKEN "POT" PIE

Steps:

• To make the pastry: Combine the flour and salt in a very large mixing bowl. Add the butter and mix with a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the ice water and work it in to bind the dough until it holds together without being too wet or sticky. Squeeze a small amount together, if it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Wrap the large ball of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing the rest of the recipe (feel free to make the dough the night before if you prefer.)
• To make the chicken broth: Put the chicken in a large stockpot and cover with 3 quarts of cool water. Add the vegetables and herbs and bring it up to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour; skimming frequently as the oil rises to the surface. What we're doing here is not only cooking the chicken but also creating the base sauce for the pot pie. It's the old trick of killing two birds with one stone -- or one pot as the case may be. Remove the chicken to a platter to cool. When it's cool enough to handle shred the chicken meat, discarding the skin and bones, and set aside. Using a colander, strain the chicken broth into another pot and discard the solids; you should have about 2 quarts when you're done.
• To make the pot pie filling: Wipe out the stockpot and put it back on the stovetop over medium-low heat. Melt the butter and just as the foam subsides, add the flour, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk to prevent lumps. This is a roux, which will act as a thickener. Cook and stir the roux until it's the color of a California blonde. Now, gradually pour in the reserved chicken broth, whisking the entire time to prevent lumps. Whisk and simmer for 10 minutes to cook out the starchy taste of the flour and thicken the broth; it should look like cream of chicken soup. Fold in the carrots, pearl onions, peas, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and lemon juice; stir to combine. Simmer for 10 minutes to soften the vegetables a bit; season the mixture with salt and pepper. Stir in the shredded chicken until incorporated, remove from the heat and cool to room temperature; it will get quite thick as it cools down.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Take the dough out of the refrigerator and set it out on the counter for 5 minutes to warm up a bit, making it easier to roll out.
• Sprinkle the counter and a rolling pin lightly with flour. Roll the dough out into a big 14 by 20-inch rectangle. Carefully transfer the dough to a large rectangular pizza stone or standard sheet pan, leaving about 1 foot of the pastry hanging off 1 end. Spoon the cooled chicken filling on the pastry that is on the pizza stone, leaving a border around the sides. Lightly beat the egg with 3 tablespoons of water to make an egg wash and brush it on the dough border. Fold the "free" dough over the filling like a blanket and crimp the ends with a fork to form a tight seal; it should look like a big pillow. Brush the top of the giant chicken pie with the remaining egg wash, sprinkle with the coarse salt, and cut tiny slashes in the top so steam can escape. Place the chicken pie in the oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until puffed and golden. Let the chicken pie rest for 10 minutes before moving it. Run a spatula underneath the pot pie to loosen it from the pizza stone. Scoop out the chicken pie with a large serving spoon.

CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Make the dough: Combine the flour, sugar, salt, thyme and chives in a food processor and pulse a few times to evenly combine. Add the butter and pulse 7 or 8 times until the butter is in pea-size bits. Add the vinegar and 2 tablespoons ice water and pulse just until the dough starts to come together into a ball. (Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons ice water if the dough is too dry.) Form the dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you make the filling, at least 1 hour.
• Make the filling: Pile the 2 crushed garlic cloves, bay leaf, lemon peel, peppercorns and coriander seeds on a square of cheesecloth. Bring the corners together to form a pouch and tie with a piece of kitchen twine.
• Combine the chicken, chicken broth and cheesecloth pouch in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate using tongs. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl; discard the cheesecloth pouch. Wipe out the saucepan; return the strained broth to the pan and keep at a very gentle simmer over low heat. Shred the chicken using 2 forks.
• Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the potato, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook until the potato is slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and the thyme and cook until softened, 1 minute. Add the vinegar and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour until the vegetables are evenly coated. Pour in 1 3/4 cups of the strained chicken broth (save the rest for another use). Bring to a gentle boil and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Add the shredded chicken, parsley and peas and stir to combine and heat through; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the filling to a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate and let cool until no longer steaming, about 20 minutes.
• Bake the pot pie: Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough into an 11-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Place it over the filling. Roll the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges with your fingers. Cut vents in the top of the dough. Beat the egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush the crust all over with the egg wash. Place the pot pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the crust is a deep golden brown, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool 20 minutes before serving.

THE BEST CHICKEN POT PIE EVER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Roast the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, including inside the cavity, then season the cavity with 1 tablespoon kosher salt.
• In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic powder, pepper, thyme, lemon zest and 2 teaspoons of kosher salt until well combined. Rub the butter mixture all over the outside of the chicken, including under the skin, making sure to rub the thighs and legs as well as the breast.
• Add the lemon quarters, onion, and garlic to the cavity of the chicken.
• To truss the chicken, use a piece of butcher's twine to tie the legs together so the bird holds a nice shape. Tuck the wingtips underneath the breasts so that they fit snugly. Transfer the chicken, breast-side up, to a roasting rack set inside a roasting pan.
• Roast the chicken for 60-80 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken thigh reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a large cutting board, reserving the juices in the roasting pan. Use a sharp knife to cut the legs and breasts away from the chicken carcass. Remove the skin from the chicken and transfer to the bowl of an Instant Pot, then pull the meat from the bones and shred into ½-inch pieces. Add the bones and carcass to the bowl with the skin. Transfer 4 cups of chicken to an airtight container for the pot pie filling and refrigerate until ready to use. Save any remaining chicken in a separate airtight container for another use; it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Make the chicken stock: Add the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, peppercorns, thyme, parsley, and bay leaf to the Instant Pot bowl with the chicken skin, bones, and carcass. Pour in enough water to cover the chicken by 1 inch, then add the reserved chicken juices.
• Put the lid on the Instant Pot and set to pressure cook on high for 45 minutes. Once the timer goes off, turn the Instant Pot to quick release. Strain the chicken stock into a large bowl and discard the solids. Set aside 3 cups of stock at room temperature for the pot pie filling. Transfer the remaining chicken stock to an airtight container and save for another use; it will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer.
• Make the pie dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and kosher salt. Add the butter and toss to coat each cube in the flour, then smash each piece of butter with your fingertips into lima bean-sized pieces. It's okay if some pieces are larger than others.
• Add the ice, water, and vodka to a small bowl and stir to combine. Add 1-2 tablespoons at a time to the flour mixture and toss with a rubber spatula until the dough holds together when pressed between your hands. You may not need all of the liquid. The dough should not be very tacky or sticky.
• Turn the dough onto a clean surface and use a bench scraper to gently bring it together into a rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds, like a business letter. Turn the dough 90°, then flatten and fold into thirds again. Repeat until all of the bits of dough have been incorporated and it just comes together in a smooth, cohesive mass. Do not overwork. Divide the dough in half and wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 3 days.
• Make the filling: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add onion, carrots, potatoes, and thyme and season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook until the onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until no lumps remain and the flour is evenly incorporated into the butter, 2-3 minutes.
• Slowly whisk the reserved 3 cups of chicken stock, a little at a time. Simmer until the stock has reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine.
• Remove the pot from the heat and fold in the reserved 4 cups of shredded chicken, peas, and parsley. Season with more kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Transfer the filling to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature, then place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Assemble the pot pie: Place a portion of pie dough on a floured surface. Sprinkle flour on top of the dough and on the rolling pin, then roll the dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) round, about ⅓ inch thick, rotating 90° every few rolls. Repeat with the remaining dough, rolling out slightly thinner to ¼ inch thick. Roll the thicker dough round onto the rolling pin and transfer to a 9-inch (22 cm) glass deep dish pie plate, gently lifting and pressing so the dough is flush against the dish. Brush the inside of the dough with the egg wash, including the sides and outer rim. Add the chilled filling, spreading evenly.
• Drape the remaining dough round over the pie. Trim any excess dough around the edges, then pinch the top and bottom doughs together to seal. Roll the edges under, all the way around the pie dish, and crimp using the knuckle of an index finger of one hand and the thumb and index finger of the other.
• Brush the egg wash all over the top of the dough, getting in the grooves and sides of the pie. Use a paring knife to cut a few vents in the top to allow the steam to escape. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top. Chill the assembled pie in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, until firm.
• Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Place the pie dish on the prepared baking sheet, then transfer to the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
• Let cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!

Add cornstarch to the cup and stir until all lumps have dissolved. Add cornstarch mixture back to the pot; cook and stir until filling has thickened to your liking.
• Bake bottom crust in the preheated oven for approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, add filling, and cover with the top crust, making sure the edges are sealed. Make cute decorations with pastry cut-offs and use a knife to make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Lightly paint egg yolk over the top crust.
• Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Ovens vary so baking time may vary-keep an eye on it.

LUXURY CHICKEN POTPIES

Steps:

• Place the chicken and stock in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain, reserving the stock and setting the meat aside to cool.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the onion and potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. (Do not let them brown.) Add the carrots, peas, squash and zucchini and cook until the vegetables just become tender, 6 to 7 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the reserved chicken broth. Whisk in the milk and cream. Raise the heat to medium and continue whisking until the mixture boils. Remove from the heat and stir in the Tabasco, sherry and herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Combine the chicken, cooked vegetables and cream sauce. Divide the mixture among 6 oven-proof bowls with a capacity of at least 2 cups each. (Potpies may be prepared to this point and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.)
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry dough out to a thickness of 1/6 inch. Cut 6 circles of pastry, each just slightly bigger than the diameter of your bowls. Fit the pastry over the tops of the bowls, brush them lightly with egg and use the tip of a knife to poke a few holes in the pastry. Bake until browned and the filling bubbles, about 25 minutes.

CHICKEN POT PIE BY WOLFGANG PUCK RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large, deep saucepan.
• Add the flour and whisk to ensure there are no lumps before adding the chicken stock. Cook for 5-10 minutes while continuously stirring.
• Check the consistency by dipping the back of a spoon into the sauce and running your finger along the spoon. You want the sauce to cling to the spoon and not run over the swipe you made.
• Continue to cook and stir the sauce over medium heat until you reach the correct consistency. Season with the salt, pepper, and cayenne (if using). Taste the sauce and see if your sauce needs more seasoning.
• Add the cream and stir to combine.
• Add the shredded chicken, carrots, potatoes, and peas to the sauce. Cook the vegetables in the sauce for 2-3 minutes.
• Transfer the filling to a clean bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Roll out the puff pastry, using a bit of extra flour to ensure the pastry doesn't stick to your work surface. Use a bowl or plate about an inch (2 cm) larger than the dish you are cooking your pot pie in as a guide to cut out your pastry.
• Carefully spoon the chilled filling into oven-proof serving bowls.
• Break the egg in a small bowl and add a tablespoon of water or cream. Whisk with a fork.
• Brush the egg wash on the edges and rim of your dishes.
• If desired, shave truffles over the filling. Lay the pastry rounds over the top, being careful not to stretch the pastry. Seal the edges of the pastry by lightly pushing it onto the rim of your dish to make sure it is secure.
• Brush the top and sides with more egg wash.
• Place the pot pies on a large baking sheet and bake for 25-35 minutes, until the pastry is a nice golden, dark brown and there are no more grayish raw patches.
• Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!
