Kinsbys Best Ever Pot Pie Turkey Or Chicken Food

KINSBY'S BEST-EVER POT PIE (TURKEY OR CHICKEN)

Steps:

• To prepare the crust, Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl; cut in butter and mix with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add vinegar and water, tbsp at a time; stir just until moist. Press mixture gently into a 5-inch circle on heavy-duty plastic wrap; cover with additional plastic wrap. Chill for 15 minutes or overnight until needed.
• To prepare the filling, bring 5 cups Chicken Stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the potato and carrot; cook for approximately 4 minutes. Meanwhile, Melt the butter in a very large skillet over a medium heat and the onion; cook for 2-5 minutes until the onions just begin to sweat. Combine 1 cup flour, corn starch and 1 cup remaining Chicken Stock in a small bowl; whisk until well combined. Add to the skillet. Stir in the potato mixture with the reserved cooking liquid, turkey or chicken, peas, seasonings, half-n-half, sherry, and celery. Remove from heat (you can store for a day or two until you wish to bake it).
• Pour approximately 1-2 cups filling into ramekins of choice (or you can pour the entire filling into a casserole dish to bake it whole. Metal bowls work too).Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees farenheit.
• Roll the dough out to about 1/4-1/2 inch-thick and cut the appropriate size for your pot pie Place the dough atop of the filling (either press the dough into sides of the ramekin, or just leave flat; feel free to be decorative) and cut four slits in the center of the dough (to let the steam escape). Whisk the egg with the 4 tbsp half-n-half and brush onto the dough and bake for approximately 40-65 minutes; until the crust is a golden brown and puffed.

EASIEST "HOMEMADE" CHICKEN (OR TURKEY) POT PIE EVER!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and take pie crusts out of the fridge to allow to warm up a bit.
• Saute the chicken in a large, deep skillet with the chopped onion and 2 TB margarine until chicken is no longer pink. Season with 3 dashes poultry seasoning, salt, pepper and 2 dashes garlic salt. While chicken is cooking, peel and chop potatoes. Place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with a little bit of water, cover and microwave for 8 minutes.
• When chicken is done, add cans of gravy and worcestershire sauce. Gravy should "bite" just a little bit from the worcestershire sauce, as the flavors will mellow out while baking (worcestershire sauce may have to be adjusted depending on which brand of gravy you use.)
• Add veggies to chicken mixture.
• Unroll one crust and place in the bottom of a 2-quart oven-proof dish. Pour chicken mixture on top, and cover with other crust. Seal & crimp crust and cut for venting.
• Bake at 400 degrees until top is browned, about 20 minutes.

THE BEST CHICKEN POT PIE EVER!

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium high heat, combine the chicken breasts, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
• Remove the chicken and let cool. Pour the remaining chicken broth mixture into a measuring cup. Let stand; spoon off fat. Add enough canned broth to equal 1 cup if needed. Add half and half to the broth mixture to equal 2 1/2 cups. Cut chicken into 1/2 inch pieces.
• In the same pan, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Add the onion and celery. Saute, stirring, for 3 minutes. Stir in flour until well blended. Gradually stir in broth mixture and the herbs. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and boils. (you will think this is TOO MUCH liquid, but it's not). Add the chicken and vegetables to the broth and stir to combine. Line a deep pie dish with one of the pastries and pour mixture in, almost to the top.
• Cover mixture with second pastry, making sure to "seal the edges" by pinching together the top and bottom then pressing against the lip of the dish. Cut a few vent holes in the pastry then brush pastry with beaten egg. Use any leftover scraps from the pastries to make a design on top.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool for 10 minutes and serve.
• When done, the inside ingredients will be thick and creamy.
