CHICKEN POT PIE CASSEROLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• In a large pot set over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the carrots and celery, sauté for 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, sauté until tender and transparent, about 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle flour over top and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking vigorously to help thicken without clumps forming. Add half and half along with the seasonings, whisk to combine. Bring mixture to a simmer, continue cooking for 15 minutes or until the filling is nice and thick (remember it has to be thick enough to hold up the weight of the biscuits).
• Meanwhile, to make the biscuits, in a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine. Add the cold cubed butter. With a pastry blender, cut the butter until pea-size clumps for. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk and mix until the dough becomes moist and no loose pockets of flour remain. You can either roll out and cut 12 biscuits or divide the dough into 12 pieces and form 12 "rustic" biscuits by hand. Set aside.
• Add the chicken, peas, and corn. Transfer filling to a 9x13-inch baking dish and top with biscuits. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the reserved buttermilk.
• Place in oven to bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE POT PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Cook chicken in a pot of simmering water until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool, shred, and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and carrots and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, 6 to 8 minutes (do not let them darken). Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Add wine and cook until evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add milk and simmer until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in shredded chicken, peas, thyme, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Transfer to a shallow 1½- to 2-quart baking dish.
• Lay the crust on top, pressing to seal. Cut several vents in the crust and place the pie on a baking sheet. Bake until bubbling and the crust is golden, 30 to 35 minutes.

RUSTIC CHICKEN VEGETABLE PIE

Steps:

• An hour or so before ready to make your potpie, put the frozen vegetables in a small collander to defrost. You can also use a combination of frozen corn, peas, lima beans, green beans, carrots or whatever you like, in place of bagged mixed vegetables.
• If roasting your own chicken, allow time to cook it and for it to cool enough to handle. I cooked mine in a counter-top oven for about an hour at 325 degrees until skin was crispy and juices ran clear. Remove the skin, take meat from the bone and chop in bite-size pieces. If using left-over chicken or rotisserie from the store, I would guess about 2 cups rough chopped will be enough.
• Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Put the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the flour and stir constantly for a couple minutes to make a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and stir until thickened. NOTE: My measurements for this are approximate; the roux and milk should make a thick white sauce so that it will not run when the finished potpie is cut.
• Add the defrosted vegetables, chopped chicken and poultry seasoning. Stir to combine, taste and add salt and pepper to your liking.
• Using a non-stick baking sheet, unroll the dough directly on it. Spoon the filling mixture on the dough and spread to about 2" from the edge. Now spread the prepared mashed potatoes on top of the filling.
• Lift up the edge of the pie crust and roll over the edge of the filling, crimping it as you go around so that it lays flat. Beat the egg and brush the crust edge liberally with it for a beautiful, golden and shiny appearance.
• Put in the preheated oven and bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Put the grated cheese over the exposed potatoes for the last 5-10 minutes for melting. Cool for a few minutes before cutting to serve.

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 AND ROOT VEGETABLE POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Place the chicken stock in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil and add the Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes, celery root, parsnip, and onion. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low, then simmer for 5 minutes. Add the chicken and simmer for 10 minutes longer or until the chicken is just cooked. Remove the chicken and vegetables from the stock with a slotted spoon and reserve.
• Place the flour in a mixing bowl and gradually add the milk, whisking it into the flour until well blended. Add this mixture to the stock and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened. Add peas, parsley, cilantro, hot sauce, and the reserved chicken and vegetables to the stock and season with salt and pepper.
• Place four 16-ounce ramekins on a baking sheet. Fill the ramekins with the chicken and vegetable mixture.
• Cut the puff pastry into 4 pieces and lay each one over a ramekin. Gently press the dough over the edges of the ramekins.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
• Place the hot ramekins on serving plates and enjoy.

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.
