Mamies Chicken Pie Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Place the chicken in a pot and cover with water, bring to a boil and cook thoroughly. Remove the chicken (save the cooking liquid), let cool and then chop up the meat.
• 2. In a mixing bowl stir together the soup, broth, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chicken, combine well.
• 3. Lightly spray a 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon half of the chicken mixture into the bottom and spread around.
• 4. Then cover the mixture with a layer of the pie strips. Dot the strips with 1 Tbsp of butter.
• 5. Place in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes.
• 6. Remove and spoon the remaining chicken mixture over the top.
• 7. Then place the remaining pie crust strips. Again, dot with 1 Tbsp butter.
• 8. Return to the oven for an additional 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and let sit 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour, onion, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in broth and milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in chicken and peas and carrots; remove from heat.
• Heat oven to 425°F. Roll 1 pie crust into 13-inch square. Ease into ungreased 9-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish. Pour chicken mixture into crust-lined dish.
• Roll remaining pie crust into 11-inch square. Cut out designs with 1-inch cookie cutter. Place square over chicken mixture. Arrange cutouts on top crust. Turn edges of pie crust under; flute edge.
• Bake about 35 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Boil a large fryer in water to barely cover with a little grated onion, salt and pepper until done.
• Remove meat from bones, discarding skin and gristle.
• Strain stock and use for gravy.
• Gravy: Place stock in pan with milk.
• Thicken with flour which has been thinned with a little cold milk.
• Cook until it is as thick as heavy cream.
• Strain while boiling hot and pour over chopped chicken.
• (I have never had to strain it if you constantly stir it while thickening).
• Pie Crust: Mix all ingredients, adding egg and ice water last.
• Line a 11x14 baking dish with thinly rolled crust, prick well with fork and bake at 450 deg until lightly golden brown.
• Pour into this crust lined dish part of the chicken and gravy mixture, then a layer of sliced egg, then more chicken and gravy and then sliced egg to come even to the top of the pan.
• Roll out top crust extra thick and cut to the size of the dish.
• Put on top of dish and seal edges.
• Cut small holes the size of a nickle on the top crust and use the holes to decorate.
• Brush melted butter over the top.
• Bake at 450 deg for 15 min, then lower temp to 350 and bake until brown and bubbly.
• (her notes exactly: do not be tempted to use a mix for the crust, because the crust makes the pie!).

Steps:

• For serving: a peppery green salad with arugula and baby spinach
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• To make the filling, melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat, then add the onion, carrot, celery and parsnips. Season with salt and pepper and stir them around until the onions start to turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook for another minute. Sprinkle over the flour and stir it in to incorporate. Cook for a minute or two, but do not let it brown. Add the broth and stir, working out any lumps. Lower the heat to medium and cook until it starts to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the green beans, thyme and turmeric. Fold in the Shredded Boiled Chicken and cook until heated through. Add the half-and-half, taste and adjust the seasoning. Add more broth if it is too thick. Pour the hot filling into the prepared baking dish.
• Brush the edges of the dish with the egg wash. Lay the pastry over the top, press down the edges and brush the top of the pastry with the egg wash. Cook until the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes.
• You can also assemble the pie ahead of time. If you are making it ahead, allow the filling to cool, cover and place in the fridge. When you want to cook the pie, brush the edges of the dish with the egg wash, add the filling to the dish, lay the pastry over the top and press down the edges. Brush the pastry with the egg wash and cook at 375 degrees F until the crust is golden brown, about 1 hour.
• Serve the chicken pie with a peppery salad of arugula and baby spinach.
• Pour the broth into a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the chicken pieces and bring back to a boil. Turn the heat to medium low and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 45 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool briefly. Remove the skin and bones and shred the chicken.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, stir to coat and cook until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, onions, garlic and leek and continue cooking until the vegetables are a light brown. Add enough water to cover the chicken, and then add the peppercorns, parsley and thyme. Stir to mix and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer until the meat falls off the bone, about 2 hours.
• Keep the chicken aside and let cool. Keep the stock. Debone and cut the meat in chunks. Strain and skim the fat from the stock. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. (This step can be done the day before.)
• Add the potatoes to the stock and cook for 20 minutes. Skim the surface if necessary. Add the pasta and continue cooking until the pasta is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the chicken chunks. Adjust the seasoning and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook vegetables in a large pan in butter until tender. Add flour to vegetables, cooking flour for a minute or so. Add milk or half and half and broth gradually to pan. Continue to cook on med/low until it starts to thicken and get bubbly. Remove from heat. Add garlic powder, salt, pepper and cubed chicken.
• 2. Place bottom crust in deep pie plate. Pour in filling. Lattice cut remaining pie crust, if desired, or use solid top crust. Cut slits in top crust. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees or until it starts to bubble from the top. Cover with a loosely fitting foil tent half way through to prevent crust from getting too brown.
• 3. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
