Judis Chicken Pot Pie Food

CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove the meat from the bones and discard the skin. Cut the chicken into large dice. You will have 4 to 6 cups of cubed chicken.
• In a small saucepan, heat the chicken stock and dissolve the bouillon cubes in the stock. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and saute the onions over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until translucent. Add the flour and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the hot chicken stock to the sauce. Simmer over low heat for 1 more minute, stirring, until thick. Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and heavy cream. Add the cubed chicken, carrots, peas, onions and parsley. Mix well.
• For the pastry, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add the shortening and butter and mix quickly with your fingers until each piece is coated with flour. Pulse 10 times, or until the fat is the size of peas. With the motor running, add the ice water; process only enough to moisten the dough and have it just come together. Dump the dough out onto a floured board and knead quickly into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Divide the filling equally among 4 ovenproof bowls. Divide the dough into quarters and roll each piece into an 8-inch circle. Brush the outside edges of each bowl with the egg wash, then place the dough on top. Trim the circle to 1/2-inch larger than the top of the bowl. Crimp the dough to fold over the side, pressing it to make it stick. Brush the dough with egg wash and make 3 slits in the top. Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.

SPICY CAJUN CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the pie dough on a baking sheet and brush with a little milk. Sprinkle with the thyme and 1/4 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning. Bake until golden brown and crisp, 15 to 18 minutes. Break into quarters.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, onion and remaining 3/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the potatoes and 2 cups water. Bring to boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are cooked and the liquid is thickened, about 15 minutes. Add the chicken and jalapenos and simmer until the chicken is heated through, about 3 minutes. Thin the sauce with a little water if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve in shallow bowls with a portion of pie crust.

MOM'S FABULOUS CHICKEN POT PIE WITH BISCUIT CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and cook the onion, celery, and carrots until the celery and carrots are tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in peas, parsley, thyme and flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour coats the vegetables and begins to fry, about 5 minutes. Whisk in chicken broth and half-and-half, and cook until the sauce is thick and bubbling. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and mix in the chicken meat.
• Transfer the chicken, vegetables, and sauce into a 2-quart baking dish. Arrange biscuits on top of the filling. In a small bowl, beat egg yolk with water; brush egg yolk on the biscuits.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuits are golden brown and the pie filling is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

• In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas, and celery. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.
• In the saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place the chicken mixture in bottom pie crust. Pour hot liquid mixture over. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

JULIE'S DELUXE CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Finely chop garlic. Slice celery, carrots and onion into like-size pieces. Heat garlic with olive oil and 2 T butter over med-hi, adding celery, carrots and onion when pan is heated. Saute about 12 minutes, or until carrots are fairly tender but garlic and onions are not burned.
• While vegetables are cooking, chop cooked chicken breasts and set aside.
• Remove vegetables from pan and set aside. In same pan on med-hi, melt 1/2 c butter and stir in 1/2 flour. Brown mixture slightly, being careful not to let it burn. Add chicken stock a few ounces at a time, stirring to incorporate after each addition. Add wine to taste, then cream. Add spices to taste. (Probably don't need salt because of chicken stock.) Stir in cooked vegetables. Turn off heat and set aside.
• Stir chicken and frozen peas into vegetable mixture and pour into pie. Place top crust on top and trim about 5/8" outside edge of dish. Fold top crust under bottom crust and flute (pinch) edge around pie to seal. Cut a small, simple design in top to let steam escape. (I make a three petal flower with stem, making sure none of the petals or stem touch each other.).
• If making ahead of time, remove from fridge 1 hour before cooking (1/2 hour on a hot day) and don't brush with egg-white until just before cooking.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brush top with egg white, cover edge with foil and bake for 5 minutes.
• Then turn heat down to 350 degrees and remove foil. Continue baking for 35 - 45 minutes, or until crust appears done.
• Let sit at least 10 minutes before slicing.
