Best Chicken Pan Pie Recipes

CHICKEN, MOREL MUSHROOM & ASPARAGUS ONE-PAN PIE

Steps:

• If you are using dried mushrooms, heat the stock and soak them for 10 mins, then remove them, strain the liquid and set it aside. If you're using fresh mushrooms, clean them thoroughly before using. Set a couple of the nicest-looking morels aside to decorate the top of the pie, and halve the rest.
• Heat half the butter in a skillet and fry the halved morels for 3-4 mins or until wilted. Scoop them onto a plate and set aside. Heat the remaining butter and gently cook the shallots in the pan with the thyme and bay. Once softened, stir in the flour and cook for 1 min or until you have a sandy paste.
• Pour in the sherry and sizzle, then carefully stir in the strained soaking liquid (or 200ml chicken stock if you've used fresh morels), followed by the crème fraîche. Season well and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Add the chicken and poach in the sauce for 10 mins or until the chicken is just cooked through. Remove the bay, stir through the asparagus, tarragon and fried morels, then remove from the heat.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. The pastry needs to sit on top of the ingredients, so if your pan is too deep, use a pie dish instead. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to the thickness of a £1 coin, then cut the pastry to fit the pan or dish, and drape it over the pie mixture using a rolling pin to help you. Liberally brush with egg, season the pastry with flaky sea salt, and pop your reserved morels on the top. Bake for 20 mins or until the pastry has puffed and is a deep golden brown. Leave tor rest for 5 mins before serving straight from the pan.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH CHICKEN PAN PIE

Steps:

• Boil chicken until tender. Debone and cut into small pieces. Reserve 2 cups of broth. Put chicken in a 9x13 pan. In saucepan, bring 2 cups broth and 10 1/2 can cream of chicken soup to a boil. Drain 16 ounce can of veg-all vegatables and pour over chicken. Pour broth mixture over vegetables. In a bowl combine flour, salt, pepper, buttermilk and margarine. Mix thoroughly with spoon to form batter. Spread batter on top. Bake at 425 for 30 minutes.
• For OAMC: Bake as directed above, then wrap, seal and label. Note: You may want to make slightly saucier if you want it creamier from the freezer.

ALL-CRUST SHEET PAN CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with cooking spray.
• Melt the butter with the thyme in small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring, until a sandy consistency, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly until smooth. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer gently until thickened and the flour flavor is gone, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the chicken, onions, carrots and celery to the prepared sheet pan and toss to combine; set aside.
• Stack 2 puff pastry sheets on top of each other on a lightly floured surface. Roll the puff pastry out to a 15-by-15-inch square. Cut the pastry into 1-inch strips so you have 15 strips total. Repeat with the remaining 2 puff pastry sheets.
• Pour the gravy over top of the chicken mixture on the sheet pan. Arrange the pastry strips over the filling crosswise, overlapping them slightly so most of the filling is covered. Trim any overhang from the edges of the pan. Brush the pastry with the egg wash and bake until deep golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

CHICKEN PAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and salt. Cook, stirring, until onions start to soften, and the edges begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken, and cook, stirring, until the chicken loses its pink color, and starts to brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Sprinkle flour over top, then cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Stir in carrots, celery, black pepper, and cayenne.
• Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it's as thick as you want, 5 to 10 minutes. For a thick, sticky filling once baked, reduce until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. For a saucier filling, don't reduce the mixture at all.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the peas and thyme. Taste for seasoning and reserve until needed.
• Roll out pie or pastry dough to form a circle about 14 inches in diameter.
• Fold over 1/2 inch of dough all the way around, and then crimp the edge to make a decorative scalloped design. Cut or punch out a 1-inch hole in the center of the dough.
• Place the pan on top of a sheet pan in case filling bubbles over in the oven. Carefully place the dough over the filling, and adjust until it's centered. Press the crust lightly into the filling. Brush the top with an egg wash if desired.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is browned and filling is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

OLD FASHIONED CHICKEN POT PIE IN A PAN

Steps:

• FOR THE CRUST.
• Place all ingredients in your bread-maker (according to manufacturer's directions, mine go in "liquid first"); program for "Dough" or "Manual" then press "Start.".
• The dough will be very sticky at first (like biscuit dough); it will firm up by the end of the kneading time.
• While the dough is kneading, prepare the filling.
• FOR THE FILLING.
• Cook chicken breasts in your normal way (I use water & cooking sherry), reserve broth and separate fat if you can (used in the Gravy).
• Melt butter in hot pan, saute onion & carrots until lightly browned, add celery, saute until limp-ish.
• Dump veggies and chicken into large bowl.
• FOR THE GRAVY.
• Melt butter and fat (USE ALL BUTTER IF YOU DIDN'T SEPARATE THE FAT FROM THE BROTH) in same pan (as veggies), whisk in the flour.
• S-L-O-W-L-Y add the reserved broth, continually whisking out the lumps.
• Whisk in the cream and S & P.
• Turn off the heat, stir in meat & veggies.
• FOR THE GLAZE:.
• In a small bowl, mix egg and water, beating to a frothy mess; set aside.
• ASSEMBLY.
• Lightly spray or butter a 13x9 pan; pour chicken/gravy mixture into this dish.
• Transfer bread dough to a floured work surface; knead by hand five times (count 'em); now let it rest for five minutes (this works, trust me).
• Flour a rolling pin and roll dough into a 10 x 14-inch rectangle; do NOT over-work the dough, light touches are best!
• Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut rolled-out dough into two-inch squares or diamonds if you're really creative!
• Place squares/diamonds on top of the chicken-veg-gravy mixture in the pan--aim for a cobblestone look (overlap them a bit).
• Brush generously with egg glaze (this will give the dough a nice brown--slightly shiny--finish).
• Put into a COLD oven, turn heat to 350 (the dough will rise a bit while the oven heats); bake 35-45 minutes--the dough will be a lovely rich brown color.
• Let rest about 5 minutes before serving.
• With a green salad or a fruit salad on the side you have climbed to the top of the pedestal!
