Deconstructed Chicken Pot Pie Food

DECONSTRUCTED CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, celery, carrots, onion and some salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables just begin to soften, about 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the crusts. Unroll both sheets of pastry, even out the surface with a rolling pin and cut out 3 circles from each. Transfer the circles to the prepared baking sheets, poke them all over with a fork and brush with the egg wash. Sprinkle over some salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetables and add the turmeric; cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the hot stock, add the half-and-half, peas, thyme and rosemary and cook until the sauce thickens, another 3 minutes. Serve in bowls topped with the crusts.

CHICKEN POT PIE TOAST

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery and onion and sauté until the vegetables start to turn translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the thyme sprigs, then sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetables and stir to combine. Next, add the chicken broth, cream, bouillon cube, turmeric and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring, until the liquid has thickened and the vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Toast the brioche.
• Add the chicken to the pot and stir it into the sauce. Cook for a minute or two, then add the peas and cook for 1 minute more, stirring so that everything is combined.
• Place 1 slice of toast on a plate. Top with a ladle of the chicken mixture. Garnish with chives.
