Paula Deens 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:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 2-quart baking pan with non stick spray. Add the soup, chicken broth and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bottom of the casserole dish and whisk together until smooth. Add the chicken and vegetables. In a separate bowl, whisk together the biscuit mix and whole milk. Pour biscuit mix over top of casserole. Drizzle melted butter over the top. Bake for 35 minutes, until golden brown on top.

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.
