Chicken Squash Pot Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Unfold 1 thawed sheet (half of a 17.3-ounce box) frozen puff pastry; roll out on a lightly floured surface until about 11 by 15 inches and 1/8 inch thick. Score with a sharp paring knife in several places. Transfer to a baking sheet; refrigerate at least 30 minutes (and up to 3 hours).
• Meanwhile, heat butter in a large saucepan over medium-low. Add onion and carrots; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add flour; cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add wine, 2 cups water, and tarragon; season generously with salt and pepper. Stir briskly to prevent any lumps from forming.
• Bring to a boil. Add beans and squash; reduce heat. Cover; simmer, stirring occasionally, until beans are crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup cream and chicken; remove from heat. Cover to keep warm.
• Remove pastry from refrigerator; brush with remaining tablespoon cream. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; cut into 8 pieces with a serrated knife.
• Meanwhile, return chicken mixture to a simmer. Ladle into 8 dishes; top with pastry, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Add the squash, butter, sherry, bay leaf and 1 cup of chicken stock to a medium pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer; simmer for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Add the chicken, vegetable medley and thyme to the squash mixture. If the mixture is too thick, add more chicken stock; season to taste. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and top with the Par-Baked Puff Pastry Squares. Bake until the squares are golden brown and the squash mixture is bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then top with fresh parsley and serve.
• Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Cut the pastry sheet into 12 pieces using a pizza cutter and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush with the egg and place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Bake until puffy and light brown, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Arrange an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a 12-inch cast-iron pan over medium heat, add the oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. When the butter is melted, add the carrots, celery and onions and season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, about 7 minutes. Add the thyme, za'atar, paprika, cayenne and garlic and cook until sizzling, about 30 seconds. Add the red wine. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer to reduce by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the broth and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the chickpeas, parsley, butternut squash, apple and bay leaf and bring back to a simmer. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is thickened.
• Add the vinegar and honey and season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Remove from the heat.
• Lay the phyllo on your work surface. Brush 1 sheet with some of the melted butter and sprinkle with a little za'atar. Slide your hands under the sheet and loosely crumple it from underneath; it should sort of look like a messy rose. Lay on top of the pot pie. Repeat with the remaining phyllo and butter, sprinkling each with a little za'atar. Sprinkle all over with a little flaky salt. Bake until the phyllo is crisp and golden and the vegetables are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with a little more parsley and serve.
• Let leftover pot pie come to room temperature and then store, phyllo on top, in a covered container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add squash, onions, celery, sage and pepper; stir. Cook 5 min. or until vegetables begin to soften, stirring occasionally. Add chicken and mushrooms; cook 8 to 10 min. or until chicken is done, stirring frequently. Spoon chicken mixture into bowl.
• Melt butter in same skillet on low heat. Add flour; mix well. Cook 2 min. or until hot and bubbly, stirring constantly. Gradually stir in broth, barbecue sauce and mustard. Bring to boil on medium heat, stirring constantly; cook 2 min. or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in peas, sour cream and chicken mixture.
• Spoon into 11x7-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
• Heat oven to 425°F. Roll pastry on lightly floured surface to 12x8-inch rectangle. Brush rim of baking dish with some of the beaten egg; place pastry over filling. Press edges of pastry to rim of dish to secure. Brush top of pastry with remaining egg; cut several slits in pastry to vent. Place on foil-covered rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake 30 min. or until pastry is golden brown and filling begins to bubble through slits.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Sprinkle chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Bake chicken breasts on a baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until just cooked through. Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and dice chicken into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
• Warm chicken stock on the stove. Meanwhile, in a large pot, melt butter. Add onions and sauté for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in flour continuously and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Continue to stir adding chicken stock and simmer for 1 minute. Add RawSpiceBar's Winter Herbs, chicken, carrots, peas, and squash and mix together.
• Turn up oven to 375°F Roll out two 12 inch diameter pastry rounds. Place the first in a very deep dish pie pan and trim the edges over the lip of the dish. Set trimmings aside as you will need them later. Fill piecrust with pot pie mixture. Brush exposed edge with egg wash and then carefully lie the second piecrust on top of the filling, allowing the edges to hang down. Use the excess trimming from before to roll out and create leaves and décor for the pie as you please. Affix your leaves and brush the entire top of the piecrust with egg wash. Poke 4 holes in the crust with a fork. Place pie on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour. Add aluminum foil to the top if it appears the top is becoming too dark, but you should be okay. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In 3-quart saucepan, mix milk, flour, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, the sage, salt and pepper with wire whisk until blended. Stir in onion. Cook over medium-high heat about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until bubbly and thickened. Reduce heat to medium.
• Stir in soup, sour cream, chicken, squash and peas; mix well. Cook over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated. Spoon hot chicken mixture into ungreased 12x8-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish.
• Unroll dough on work surface; gently press dough into 12x8-inch rectangle. Place over chicken mixture. Brush dough with egg white; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon thyme.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven, add chicken broth, egg noodles, chicken, mixed vegetables, thyme, salt and pepper (ingredients will sit above liquid).
• Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium; simmer uncovered 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is absorbed and pasta is tender.
• Stir in half-and-half, and continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Top with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a rack in the upper third of the oven.
• Heat oil in an 8-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add garlic and sage; cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic starts to brown, about 2 minutes.
• Add kale and season with brown sugar, pepper, Cajun seasoning, and cardamom. Cook, tossing often, until kale is wilted, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle flour on top; cook and stir for 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine chicken broth, apple juice, vinegar, pepper jelly, yeast extract, and hot sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
• Stir broth mixture into the skillet 1/2 cup at a time. Add butternut squash and chicken. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until squash softens and broth thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Unroll puff pastry sheet and smooth out any creases. Drape pastry over the skillet, allowing edges to hang over the sides. Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl. Brush egg wash over pastry. Cut four 1-inch slits in the top to vent.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place squash cubes in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain squash. Mash and set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and mushrooms; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Drain chicken and mushrooms. Add mushroom soup. Fill empty can with water and pour in. Cook until mixed well, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add flour and 1 egg to the cooled mashed squash. Mix to form the pastry. Transfer to a well floured surface. Divide into 6 pieces. Roll out 3 pieces to fit 3 nonstick pie pans. Prick the bottoms with a fork.
• Spoon chicken and mushroom filling over the pastry. Roll out remaining pastry and place over the filling. Beat remaining egg and brush over the tops.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Crust:Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high. When it boils, reduce heat to medium; simmer until foamy. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of pan, until foam subsides, butter turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, and milk solids separate into brown specks that sink to bottom, 2 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; immediately transfer to a heatproof bowl. Let cool completely. Pour into an ice-cube tray, filling cups halfway. Freeze until cold and firm, about 1 hour. Pulse flour and salt in a food processor to combine. Add chilled brown butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-size lumps. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse until mixture just begins to hold together. (If mixture crumbles when squeezed in your hand, drizzle with 1 more tablespoon ice water and pulse a few more times.) Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap; knead just until dough holds together. Loosely cover and shape into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Filling:Meanwhile, combine chicken, reserved leek tops, halved celery, mushroom stems, squash peelings, and 1 tablespoon salt in a large pot. Add broth and enough water tojust cover chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until a thermometer inserted into thickest parts of chicken (without touching bones) registers 160 degrees, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Strain broth; reserve 2 1/2 cups (refrigerate or freeze remainder for another use).
• Brown butter for filling in pot. Add sliced leeks and chopped celery, mushroom caps, and squash; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until squash begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and thyme; cook until darkened slightly and nutty, about 2 minutes. Add wine; boil until mostly evaporated, about 30 seconds. Stir in reserved broth and bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Pull chicken from skin and bones and tear into bite-size pieces. Stir into pot with peas and parsley. Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish. (Filling can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated; stir in peas and parsley just before baking.)
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a floured work surface, roll out dough to a diameter slightly larger than baking dish. Center dough over filling; trim edges to a 1/2-inch overhang. Beat egg white with 1 teaspoon water; brush over dough. Cut vents in center. Bake until crust is golden brown and filling bubbles, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes before serving.
