CHEATER'S CHICKEN POT PIE



Cheater's Chicken Pot Pie image

A pot pie that will please people who love an easy recipe and a tasty hot and hearty meal. I invented this using things I had in the house on a night I just didn't feel like going to the super market. Its also a good way to use up leftovers from a holiday dinner. The best part of this recipe is there isn't a pie crust in site! As always, it's all about taste so don't be afraid to experiment. Note: If you know how to make mashed potatoes its pretty difficult to mess this up, you can even use instant if you have them around. You don't have to follow portion sizes allotted below either, just make as much or as little will fit in the dish of your choosing. You can also use uncooked chicken, just pan brown it on medium heat (it will cook fast because of the small pieces) and add as specified.

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 50m

Yield 1 Casserole, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 potatoes, large pealed and cubed -OR-
3 cups already made mashed potatoes
1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots (or leftover veg from dinner)
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken or 1 1/2 cups turkey
2 (12 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup (or whatever the regular size is)
butter, as needed
sour cream or plain yogurt
salt
pepper

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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 to 5 tablespoons ice water
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced small (1 1/2 cups)
4 medium carrots, diced small (2 cups)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 cups shredded cooked chicken (15 ounces)
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 2 tablespoons ice water); do not overmix.
  • Form dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour or overnight (or freeze, up to 1 month).
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the filling: In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion and carrots and cook until softened, 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add flour and stir to coat vegetables.
  • Slowly add broth, whisking constantly until sauce is smooth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in peas. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in chicken and parsley. Pour filling into a 2-quart baking dish.
  • On a floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Place dough over dish and fold overhang inward while pinching to crimp edge. Cut vents in dough. Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling around edge, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

SKILLET CHICKEN POTPIE



Skillet Chicken Potpie image

Using store-bought puff pastry instead of homemade pie crust for a chicken potpie might seem like cheating, but rest assured it's for the best, adding shatteringly flaky layers that even the best pie crust lacks. This recipe calls for bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs, so that the chicken fat rendered from searing can serve as the base of the gravy. But for a weeknight-friendly version, shredded rotisserie chicken can be used instead. Just use a tablespoon or two of butter to replace the fat. (A note about store-bought puff pastry: No two brands are the same size, but know that all you need is to cover the surface of the skillet. If it's larger than expected, feel free to trim or crimp the edges like a pie, and if it seems too small or is a strange shape, simply roll the pastry on a lightly floured surface to increase its dimensions.)

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs (smaller work better here)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 small carrots, thinly sliced (about 6 ounces)
3 celery stalks, thinly sliced (about 6 ounces)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon thyme leaves, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1 (12-or 14-ounce) sheet (or 2 8½-ounce sheets pressed together at the edges) frozen puff pastry, thawed, rolled into a 12-inch circle
1 large egg, beaten

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.
