Chicken And Root Vegetable Pot Pie Recipes

CHICKEN AND ROOT VEGETABLE POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Place the chicken stock in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil and add the Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes, celery root, parsnip, and onion. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low, then simmer for 5 minutes. Add the chicken and simmer for 10 minutes longer or until the chicken is just cooked. Remove the chicken and vegetables from the stock with a slotted spoon and reserve.
• Place the flour in a mixing bowl and gradually add the milk, whisking it into the flour until well blended. Add this mixture to the stock and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened. Add peas, parsley, cilantro, hot sauce, and the reserved chicken and vegetables to the stock and season with salt and pepper.
• Place four 16-ounce ramekins on a baking sheet. Fill the ramekins with the chicken and vegetable mixture.
• Cut the puff pastry into 4 pieces and lay each one over a ramekin. Gently press the dough over the edges of the ramekins.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
• Place the hot ramekins on serving plates and enjoy.

SHEET PAN ROOT VEGETABLE POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a half sheet pan (18-by-13-inches) with cooking spray.
• Put the butter, thyme, cinnamon and allspice in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the butter melts, about 1 minute. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is a sandy consistency, about 1 minute. Pour in the vegetable broth, whisking constantly, until smooth. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a boil, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently until thickened and the flour flavor is gone, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, celery, pearl onions, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on the prepared half sheet pan and toss to combine. Set aside.
• Stack the 4 puff pastry sheets on top of each other on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the puff pastry to a 20-by-15-inch rectangle. Pour the gravy on top of the vegetables on the sheet pan and toss together to coat. Place the puff pastry evenly over the filling so there is about a 1-inch overhang on the edges. Trim the overhang with kitchen shears, making sure that the filling stays completely covered. Using the shears, make 12 small X marks all over the pastry; these slits will help steam escape. Beat the egg with a splash of water in a small bowl. Brush the pastry with the egg wash and bake until deep golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the pot pie cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
