Masala Chicken Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Slice the chicken into bite-sized chunks. Combine the cubed chicken with the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, salt, cumin, garam masala, and paprika and stir until well-coated.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). Line a high-sided baking pan or roasting tray with parchment paper.
• Place the marinated chicken pieces on bamboo or wooden skewers, then set them over the prepared baking pan, making sure there is space underneath the chicken to help distribute the heat more evenly. Bake for about 15 minutes, until slightly dark brown on the edges.
• Make the sauce: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, then sauté the onions, ginger, and garlic until tender but not browned. Add the cumin, turmeric, coriander, paprika, chili powder, and garam masala and stir constantly for about 30 seconds, until the spices are fragrant. Stir in the tomato puree, tomato sauce, and 1 ¼ cups of water, then bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes. Pour in the cream.
• Remove the chicken from the skewers and add to the sauce, cooking for another 1-2 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve over rice or alongside naan bread.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken, mushrooms, onion, salt and pepper. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove chicken mixture from skillet; set aside.
• In same skillet, melt butter. Stir in flour with whisk. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until bubbly. Stir in wine and broth. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer until sauce is thickened.
• Add chicken mixture to sauce. Stir in mixed vegetables; heat until hot. Pour into 9 1/2- or 10-inch glass deep-dish pie plate.
• Remove pie crust from pouch; unroll crust and place over chicken mixture. Seal and flute edges. Cut slits in crust.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium-size pot over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and brown on both sides until golden, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the pan to a cutting board and reserve.
• To the same pot add the garlic, shallots, and carrots and saute until golden. Remove the vegetables to a bowl and reserve. Turn the heat down to medium.
• Melt the butter in the pot, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the chicken stock, and potatoes and cook until potatoes are mostly cooked but still firm, about 8 to 10 minutes. The chicken stock will have thickened to a sauce consistency. Turn off the heat.Chop the chicken into chunks and add the chicken and veggies back to the pot. Stir in the peas, and then the 1 1/2 tablespoons garam masala and 2 teaspoons salt. Ladle the mixture into 4 (10-ounce) oven safe bowls.
• On a flat work suface, dust the puff pastry with flour and roll it out just a little thinner than it comes. Cut the puff pastry in squares large enough to hang over the sides of each bowl. Cover the bowls with the puff pastry pressing down around the sides. Brush with a touch of olive oil and sprinkle with some more garam masala. Cut a slit in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape. Transfer to the oven and bake until the tops are golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts and flour in zip-top bag. Shake until chicken is coated with flour. Remove from bag, shaking off excess flour and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook until soft. Add the garam masala, tomatoes, soup, coconut milk, and salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and return the chicken breasts to the pan. Simmer for 15 minutes, then add the frozen peas. Return to a simmer and cook for an addition 10 minutes.
• Serve hot with white rice.
• Cook's Note: Garam masala is a traditional Indian blend of spices and is available in the spice section of the grocery store.
