Paula Deen Chicken Pot Pie Recipes

Steps:

• For Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F Cover large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Cut each sheet of frozen puff pastry into 1-inch strips long enough to cover each pie. On cookie sheet, weave strips into squares. (I made one large square to cover 8x8 casserole with pieces close together. As a result, it didn't cook all the way through in the center.) Brush beaten egg onto each lattice square.
• Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until pastry has risen and is a nice golden brown. (It should be cooked through at this stage). Set aside until ready to assemble pies.
• For Filling: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until cooked through. Remove from heat and cut into chunks.
• In a large saucepan melt butter and then slowly add flour, stirring until consistency of peanut butter, but do not brown like a roux. NOTE: You may not need all of the flour--stop with it is the right consistency--it may only take 1/4 cup. Slowly add cream and keep stirring.
• Add chicken base (NOTE: here again you may not want to use all 1/4 cup--it may be too salty so use caution), garlic, and onion and stir until thickened.
• Add cooked peas and carrots, nutmeg, if using, and cut up chicken. Remove from heat.
• To serve fill 4 individual oven-proof bowls with chicken mixture and then top each with a pre-cooked lattice square.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a greased 2-quart casserole, layer the chicken, eggs, carrots, and peas.
• Mix the soup, chicken broth, and season with salt and pepper, if desired; pour over the layers.
• Stir together the biscuit mix and milk, and pour this over the casserole.
• Drizzle butter over the topping.
• Bake until the topping is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• For the chicken:.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Stuff onions and carrots into the cavity of the chicken. Rub salt, black pepper and butter into skin of chicken. Place rosemary sprigs under the skin and place into a roasting pan. Place sage on top of chicken and roast for 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the oven. Transfer to a cutting board and allow to cool.
• For the filling:.
• Place carrots and potatoes on sheet pan and season with salt and pepper. Place into the preheated oven and roast until caramelized.
• When chicken has cooled, discard the onions, carrots, sage and rosemary.
• Pull the chicken meat off the bones and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Place into a large bowl with chicken juice from roasting pan along with potatoes, carrots, peas, corn, heavy cream and flour.
• Mix together well. *Cook's Note: Filling will be thick.
• For the crust:.
• Knead all ingredients together in a large bowl, slowly adding the water.
• Divide into 2 pieces and roll out on a lightly floured work surface. One will be the bottom crust, the other the top.
• Place 1 piece of dough into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Add filling and top with the other piece of dough.
• Crimp the edges together with a spoon or a fork.
• Brush the top crust with melted butter and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
