Chicken Pot Pie With Biscuit Crust Food

CHICKEN POT PIE WITH BISCUITS

Steps:

• Prepare buttermilk biscuits but do not bake. Store formed biscuits on a plate in the fridge while you prepare the pot pie, then add the formed biscuits to the top when ready to bake. Bake at 425° for 15-18 minutes. (Optional: Brush with butter and bake at 450° for up to 5 more minutes to brown the top more.)You may also use my Cheddar Bay Biscuit recipe: Combine the dry ingredients together in advance. When you're ready to bake, proceed in mixing the wet ingredients and forming the dough. Add biscuits to the top of the skillet when ready to bake. Bake at 450° for 12-15 minutes.Refrigerated biscuits may also be used. If making Bisquick biscuits or using a Biscuit mix: Prepare them JUST before baking. Refer to package for baking time/temperature.
• You may also bake the biscuits on a baking sheet while you prepare the filling, but baking them on top of the skillet of pot pie adds an extra level of cozy comfort!
• Add the uncooked chicken breast and 3 cups chicken broth to a pot and let it bubble gently with the lid cracked for 15 minutes, until cooked through. Don't boil rapidly or the chicken will be tough. Remove the chicken and use forks to shred. Set aside and reserve the broth that the chicken cooked in.
• Meanwhile, melt 4 Tbsp. butter in a wide (12-inch) pan over medium heat and sauté onions, celery, and carrots for 4 minutes. Add garlic and ½ tsp. EACH: Onion Powder, Thyme, and Rosemary along with ¼ tsp. ground sage. Toss to coat and cook for 1 more minute.
• Add flour and toss to coat. Cook for 2 minutes or until you can no longer smell raw flour.
• Add 2 cups of the chicken broth in small splashes, stirring to incorporate. Do the same with the half and half. Adding the liquid too quickly will break the roux and interfere with the thickness of the gravy.
• Add chicken bouillon and 1 tsp soy sauce. Then add the shredded chicken and stir to combine.
• If the liquid was added slowly, the gravy should be pretty thick. If you would like it to be thicker, bring to a gentle boil and reduce to a simmer.
• Optional: Add any of the remaining chicken broth if desired. The bottom of the biscuits will absorb some of it during baking. (I usually add an extra 3/4 cup. You can base this off the consistency and your personally preference.)
• Add the frozen peas and stir to combine and heat through. Remove from heat.
• Transfer filling to a lightly greased 9 x13-inch baking dish if your skillet isn't oven safe.
• Add the biscuits to the top and bake per biscuit recipe instructions, or until biscuits are golden and set in the middle. Note: you can also bake the biscuits separately on a baking sheet and place them on the filling after, resulting in a crispier bottom biscuit.
• Optional: Brush butter on top of the biscuits at the end and bake at 450° for 3-5 more minutes if additional browning is desired.

CHICKEN AND BISCUIT POT PIE

Steps:

• To make the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a large shallow casserole dish, or 6 individual casserole dishes with cooking spray.
• Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chicken with its juices to a bowl.
• Add 2 more teaspoons of oil to the same pan and heat it over a medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the green beans, garlic and remaining salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the milk. Stir the flour into the broth until it is completely dissolved and add to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 2 minutes more. Return the chicken with its juices back to the pan. Add the peas and thyme and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the mixture into the baking dish or individual dishes.
• To make the crust: Put the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse about 12 times, or until pebble sized pieces are formed. Add the buttermilk then oil to the food processor and pulse until just moistened. Do not over mix.
• Drop the batter in 6 mounds on top of the chicken mixture (1 mound on each individual dish, if using) spreading the batter out slightly. Bake until filling is bubbling and the biscuit topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

LEMONY CHICKEN POT PIE WITH PARSLEY BISCUIT CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Lightly grease one 2-qt baking dish (or 6 1-cup ramekins) with olive oil.
• To prepare the biscuit dough, whisk the 1 1/4 c flour, baking powder, salt, and parsley in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold butter and work it in with your fingertips or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles soft bread crumbs. Add the milk, stirring just until the dough comes together. Set aside.
• Cut the chicken breasts into large bite-size pieces. Toss the pieces in a bowl with the 1/4 c flour and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large Dutch oven or sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering and giving off wisps of smoke, add the chicken and brown for about 6 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion, fennel, and garlic. Cook until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and increase the heat up slightly. Cook 3-4 minutes, then add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown fond from the bottom of the pan. Add the peas and carrots, the broth and the chicken, and season the stew with 1 teaspoon of salt and plenty of black pepper to taste.
• Spread the stew in the prepared baking dish or ramekins. Drop the biscuit dough on top in 6 to 8 evenly spaced mounds (or drop one generous spoonful on each ramekin) and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top. Bake, uncovered, about 40 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the biscuits are golden.
