Sausage And Chicken Pot Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease 2-quart casserole with shortening or cooking spray. In 10-inch skillet, cook sausage, carrots, celery and onion over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sausage is browned and vegetables are tender; drain. Stir in chicken, soup and 1/2 cup milk.
• Place flour in large bowl. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Add 2/3 cup milk; stir until dough leaves side of bowl. Press half of dough into bottom of casserole. Pour sausage mixture over dough. Drop remaining dough by tablespoonfuls over sausage mixture.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until sausage mixture is hot and bubbly and biscuits are golden brown.

Steps:

• Make the dough: Combine the flour, sugar, salt, thyme and chives in a food processor and pulse a few times to evenly combine. Add the butter and pulse 7 or 8 times until the butter is in pea-size bits. Add the vinegar and 2 tablespoons ice water and pulse just until the dough starts to come together into a ball. (Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons ice water if the dough is too dry.) Form the dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you make the filling, at least 1 hour.
• Make the filling: Pile the 2 crushed garlic cloves, bay leaf, lemon peel, peppercorns and coriander seeds on a square of cheesecloth. Bring the corners together to form a pouch and tie with a piece of kitchen twine.
• Combine the chicken, chicken broth and cheesecloth pouch in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate using tongs. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl; discard the cheesecloth pouch. Wipe out the saucepan; return the strained broth to the pan and keep at a very gentle simmer over low heat. Shred the chicken using 2 forks.
• Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the potato, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook until the potato is slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and the thyme and cook until softened, 1 minute. Add the vinegar and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour until the vegetables are evenly coated. Pour in 1 3/4 cups of the strained chicken broth (save the rest for another use). Bring to a gentle boil and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Add the shredded chicken, parsley and peas and stir to combine and heat through; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the filling to a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate and let cool until no longer steaming, about 20 minutes.
• Bake the pot pie: Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough into an 11-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Place it over the filling. Roll the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges with your fingers. Cut vents in the top of the dough. Beat the egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush the crust all over with the egg wash. Place the pot pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the crust is a deep golden brown, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Cube chicken meat and set aside. Add butter & sausage to fry pan. Brown sausage. Remove sausage and drain fat back into fry pan. You are going to make gravy. Add flour to same fry pan and stir flour into drippings. Brown flour, about 6 minutes. Add milk, salt and pepper. Stir until thickened. Add more milk if needed. ( I add a little powdered coffee creamer, about 1 tablespoon, to make the gravy a little richer or add half-n-half) Add sausage, chicken meat (no bones),and vegtables (thawed peas) Mix.
• 2. Pour into a buttered baking dish. Add pastry on top. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
• 3. PASTRY CRUST: In a food processor, combine the butter, cream cheese, flour and salt. Pulse, pulse, pulse until the ingredients start to come together and resembles Parmesian. Add egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water. Pulse a couple more times until the ingredients start to form a ball. Stop. If mixture is exceedingly wet, add more flour. If the mix is dry, add a few more drops of water. When the mixture has come together into a ball, turn out onto floured work surface and knead it a couple of times to help it come together. Dust with flour, form into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until read to use. (Day ahead of time OK) Remove from refrigerator for 20 minutes before rolling. Place disc of dough between 2 sheets of plastic and roll out the size of your baking dish. Fold pastry in half and cut in vents. Lay over baking dish and unfold. Tuck edges in, or crimp edge. Brush with egg wash.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place 1 pie crust into an ungreased 9-inch pie plate.
• Mix prepared sausage, 5 eggs, mixed vegetables and cheese together in bowl; season with salt and pepper. Pour into crust. Top with remaining pie crust and crimp edges to seal. Cut 3 slits in top crust. Brush with remaining 1 beaten egg.
• Bake for 35 to 37 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. If needed, cover pot pie with foil to prevent top crust from over browning.
• Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Roll out puff pastry to the dimensions of the casserole dish, adding 1 inch on all sides. Cover and place in the refrigerator.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic, herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 more minute, stirring occasionally. Add flour and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute.
• Pour in broth and cream gradually, stirring continuously until sauce bubbles. Add sausage pieces, vegetables, and potatoes. Cook, stirring continuously, until mixture bubbles again, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour into the prepared casserole dish.
• Place puff pastry on top of the filling, letting excess dough hang over all sides. Brush pastry with the beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is browned and the pot pie is bubbly, about 45 minutes. Cover loosely with foil after 25 minutes, to prevent overbrowning.
• Remove from oven and cool on a rack for about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
