Southern Chicken Pot Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)
• In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, peas, and celery. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.
• In the saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place the chicken mixture in bottom pie crust. Pour hot liquid mixture over. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and cook the onion, celery, and carrots until the celery and carrots are tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in peas, parsley, thyme and flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour coats the vegetables and begins to fry, about 5 minutes. Whisk in chicken broth and half-and-half, and cook until the sauce is thick and bubbling. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and mix in the chicken meat.
• Transfer the chicken, vegetables, and sauce into a 2-quart baking dish. Arrange biscuits on top of the filling. In a small bowl, beat egg yolk with water; brush egg yolk on the biscuits.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuits are golden brown and the pie filling is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Peel and cube potatoes and cube chicken breast.
• Saute onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon of butter.
• While onion mixture is cooking, start water to boil for potatoes. Boil potatoes until just before you can put a fork through them. You want them a little crispy so they don't overcook in the oven.
• When the onions are clear, add cubed chicken into onion mixture and cook through. Salt and pepper to taste. When chicken is done, set aside.
• In seperate pot, cook melted butter and flour on medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Add half and half, chicken broth, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce and spices. Bring to boil then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 35 minutes.
• While simmering, grease either a 11 x 19 baking pan or two pie pans. Use first two pie crusts to line bottom of pan(s) (if you are using the 11 x 19 pan, this might mean using some creative cutting and molding of the pie crusts since they come round).
• When filling is done simmering, add the chicken mixture, potatoes, and frozen vegetables. Mix together until all ingredients are covered. If you prefer your filling a little thicker, I suggest adding a tad more flour and heating it through.
• Pour filling into pie crusts and top with remaining crusts (again, if using a 11 x 19 pan, you might have to be creative).
• Put into oven and cook for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375, you may have to put foil over edges to prevent excessive browning, and cook for an additional 45 minutes for a crispy crust. Take out of oven and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, salt, and rosemary and cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in chicken broth and cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook, stirring often, until thick and creamy and vegetables have started to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken, peas, and parsley until well combined. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
• Place one crust in the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Add filling and place second crust on top. Press crusts together to seal around the edges and use fingers to crimp the dough. Cut small slits in the top and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Tent the edges with foil while baking if they become too brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
