Chicken Pie Not With Vegetables Except Onions Food

BEST-EVER HEALTHIER CHICKEN POT PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large sauté pan or pot over medium heat. When it's melted, add the onion, carrots, and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent and the carrots begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and pearl onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken and the flour, using a wooden spoon to ensure the vegetables and meat are evenly coated with flour. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, using a whisk to beat it in to help avoid clumping with the flour (having the broth warm or hot helps smooth out the sauce). Once the broth is incorporated, add the milk and half-and-half and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the sauce has thickened substantially and lightly clings to the vegetables and chicken. Stir in the peas. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cut the pastry into quarters. Roll out each piece on a floured surface to make a 6" square. Divide the chicken mixture among 4 ovenproof bowls. Place a pastry square over the top of each bowl, and trim away the excess with a paring knife; pinch the dough around the edges of the bowl to secure it. Brush the tops with the egg whites and bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes.

EASY CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE POT PIE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add potatoes, celery, and carrots and saute until vegetables are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly stir in Almond Breeze almondmilk, broth, and seasonings. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture starts to thicken. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add corn and chicken to pan and cook, covered, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with pepper.

CHICKEN PIE (NOT WITH VEGETABLES, EXCEPT ONIONS)

Steps:

• 1. Simmer chicken in water with bouillon cubes, salt and pepper*. (Have water almost to top of chicken.) Cook until meat falls off bones; let cool and de-bone. *If you desire, you can cook the chicken ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze and thaw before putting the pie all together.
• 2. Cover bottom of casserole dish with pastry (I use a 13"x8"x2" baking pan,). Put in chicken and liquid. * I usually bake the bottom crust about 7-10 minutes before adding the chicken and liquid -this assures the crust is done and won't be soggy or gummy.
• 3. Top with sliced boiled eggs*, chopped onions, salt and pepper. Pour chicken soup over this, and top with pats of butter. *Some people don't like boiled eggs. These can be left out without hindering the flavor.
• 4. Put rest of pastry on top and press along sides to bottom crust. Prick top of crust with fork. Cook about 1 hour at 375 degrees.
• 5. Cut into 8-12 squares (depending whether you serve it alone, with a salad and/or a vegetable) and serve. This is a rich and filling pie. I usually serve it with marinated cole slaw and a green vegetable. However, it is a meal in itself.
• 6. Leftovers can be saved (in freezer) as individual slices and reheated later.
• 7. Enjoy a slice of Chicken Pie!
• 8. NOTE: You can use any crust for the pie; however, I always use my Never-Fail Pie Crust (I'll post it.)for this recipe, as well as for other pies. It is very easy, flaky and really makes the pie. It makes 5 regular sized pie crusts (It will take 3/5 of the recipe -3 crusts for this large pie). Your can refrigerate or freeze the left over crusts until you are ready to use them.

SIMPLE, CLASSIC CHICKEN POTPIE

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to low-center position; heat oven to 400 degrees. If using whole rotisserie chickens, separate meat from skin and bones, and tear into bite-size pieces. Discard skin and bones. Then remove pie dough from its box and follow directions for bringing to room temperature.
• Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and celery; saute until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl along with the chicken; set aside.
• Meanwhile, microwave chicken broth and milk in a microwave-safe bowl until steamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Heat butter over medium heat in the empty pan. When foaming subsides, whisk in flour and thyme; cook until golden, about 1 minute. Whisk in hot milk mixture. Bring to simmer, then continue to simmer until sauce fully thickens, about1 minute. Turn off heat, stir in sherry or wine, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Stir chicken mixture, parsley and the peas and carrots into the sauce. Divide mixture between two 9-inch deep-dish pie plates. Top each with pie dough, and flute crust by pinching with your fingers. Set on a baking sheet and bake until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. (Optional: Wrap second potpie in freezer wrap and freeze for a later meal. Remove wrapping, place potpie on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees until golden and bubbly, about 1 hour.)

CHICKEN POT PIE WITHOUT VEGETABLES

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.

CHICKEN PIE

Steps:

• Place the chicken, onion, celery, bouquet garni, salt, and peppercorns in a large pot. Add water to cover the ingredients by about 1 inch.
• Add water to cover the chicken by about 1 inch.
• Bring the pot to a boil, reduce to low heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through (about 35 minutes).
• Remove from the heat and let stand at room temperature until cool enough to handle.
• Remove all meat from the chicken and discard the skin and bones. Save 2 cups of the broth for use later in the recipe.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Put the shredded meat from the chicken in the bottom of a 2-quart (8x8) casserole dish.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the broth and cream of chicken soup. Bring the mixture to a boil. Remove from the heat and pour over the shredded chicken.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the melted butter and buttermilk. Pour this over the top of the casserole without stirring it into the chicken mixture.
• Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until the crust is brown and the filling is bubbly.

CRUMBLY CHICKEN & MIXED VEGETABLE PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Peel and chop the onion as finely as possible. Melt the butter in the pan over a medium heat. Add the chopped onion and leave to cook for 5 mins, stirring occasionally. Finely slice the mushrooms and add them to the pan with the onions.
• When the onions and mushrooms are almost cooked, add the flour to the pan and stir to make a thick paste called a roux. Crumble the stock cube in and stir well. Continuously stir the roux over a low heat for 2 mins to cook out the flour. This stops the sauce from having a starchy taste.
• Slowly add the warm milk to the pan, stirring all the time. Once all the milk has been added, season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and mustard powder. Add the bay leaf and bring to the boil, stirring all the time to stop the sauce becoming lumpy.
• When the sauce has thickened, add more milk or water as necessary to get the desired consistency, bring to the boil, then turn down to a very low heat. Chop the cooked chicken into even-sized pieces and add to the sauce. Add your veg and pour into the pie dish.
• Put the pastry on a clean, floured surface. Make sure you also dust the rolling pin with flour. Roll out the pastry, trying not to make any tears. Measure the pastry against the pie dish and once the pastry is slightly larger than the top, lift it carefully over the dish. It might be helpful to use the rolling pin to help you move the pastry. Trim off the pastry hanging over the edge of the dish. Press the outside edge of the pastry with a fork or your fingers to make a nice pattern.
• Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg or milk. Make a small hole in the centre of the pastry top to allow the steam to escape. You can use any leftover pastry to decorate the top of the pie with pastry shapes if you like. Place the pie in the oven for 25 mins. It is ready when golden brown.

CHICKEN POT PIE WITH FRESH VEGGIES

Steps:

• Place the stock and chicken into a saucepan and bring to a light boil. Turn occasionally and cook chicken for about 15 minutes or until it is no longer pink.
• In a large pot melt 1/2 of the stick of butter over low heat. Add the celery and onions, potatoes and carrots and cook on low heat, stirring often, for about 15 minutes. The veggies should only be crisp tender. Next add the fresh corn off the cob and the fresh green beans to the pot.
• Add the remaining 1/2 stick of butter, cut into chunks, and cook for about 7 more minutes with the lid on.
• Turn off the heat to the burner.
• Add the family sized can of Cream of Chicken Soup and the jar of Chicken Gravy along with the pepper. Stir all until well mixed. Chop the chicken into small bites and stir into the vegetable mixture.
• Line 2 deep-dish pie plates with pie crusts, fill each with 1/2 of this wonderful chicken and vegetable mixture. Then put a pie crust on top of each one.
• Seal the edges with a nice crimp, slip the top of the crusts, (I usually make a cute design in mine). Brush the whole top crust with some egg white.
• Using 3 inch pieces of aluminum foil, cover the edges so that they don't over-brown. Take these off during the last 15 minutes of baking.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Enjoy!
