Buttermilk Chicken Pot Pie Recipes

CHICKEN POT PIE WITH BUTTERMILK BISCUIT TOPPING RECIPE

Steps:

• For Chicken: Combine chicken stock, chicken parts, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme, parsley, rosemary, and bay leaf in a 5-quart stainless steel pot or saucier. Cover and place over medium-high heat until stock registers about 150°F (66°C) on a digital thermometer.
• Adjust heat to maintain that temperature, plus or minus 10°F (5-6°C), and cook until thickest part of chicken registers 135°F (57°C), about 1 hour. Remove chicken with tongs, set aside on a rimmed platter, and cover loosely. Strain stock through a mesh sieve into a large bowl, discard solids, and set stock aside to cool.
• For Filling: Combine gelatin and 1/4 cup (55ml) cooled stock in a small bowl and whisk until no lumps remain; set aside. In a 5-quart saucier, melt butter over medium-low heat, then whisk in flour. Stir with a heat-resistant spatula until roux is fragrant and a nutty blond color, about 5 minutes (it's okay to adjust the heat if this seems to be happening too slowly). Stir in diced onion, carrots, and celery and continue cooking and stirring until vegetables are slightly softened, about 7 minutes more.
• Add white wine and 1 quart reserved stock, stirring constantly until smooth; remaining stock from poaching can be reserved for another use. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it begins to bubble, remove from heat. Stir in frozen peas, diced pimentos, and prepared gelatin, followed by salt, thyme, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until gelatin has fully melted into sauce and adjust seasonings to taste.
• Shred or dice reserved chicken, discarding skin and bones, then stir into filling. If it better suits your schedule, the filling can be covered and refrigerated up to 3 days, or frozen in an airtight container for 3 months. Otherwise, divide filling between 6 individual oven-safe dishes, or add to a 2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish (approximately 7 by 11 inches). Place on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet and set aside.
• For Biscuit Topping: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter and toss to break up the pieces, then smash each one flat between your fingertips. Continue smashing and rubbing until butter is broken up into small pieces, like cereal flakes. Stir in buttermilk with a flexible spatula, then drop the thick dough in 1-tablespoon portions over prepared filling.
• Bake until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbling-hot, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on whether filling has been chilled. Cool at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken and reach a safe temperature to enjoy. Covered in foil, leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated to serve.

EASY BISQUICK & BUTTERMILK CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken as you see fit, and add it to the skillet. Cook, stirring quite often, just until it turns opaque and loses its raw look, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
• Add the butter to the skillet, and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables soften, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mixed vegetables and mix well. Add the broth and half-and-half, and bring to a boil, stirring up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the reserved chicken, thawed mixed vegetables, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Pour into an ungreased 2 1/2 to 3 quart round casserole, or, if you don't have one (like me!), pour into whatever casseroles you have.
• Mix the Bisquick and buttermilk to make a soft, slightly sticky dough. Drop six large spoonfuls of the dough over the chicken mixture (or, if you're using two casseroles, make eight or nine smaller biscuits).
• Pop the casserole(s) in the oven, and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown.
• You're done!
