Chicken Pot Pie W Mashed Potatoe Topper Recipes

CHICKEN POT PIE WITH MASHED POTATO CRUST

Steps:

• If you are cooking the pot pies immediately, preheat the oven to 375.
• Start by making the potatoes: put the potatoes into a saucepan, cover them with water and bring to a boil. Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
• Add 4 tablespoons of butter and 1 teaspoon salt. Mash with a potato masher and then add the pepper and the milk. Stir in half the scallions and set aside.
• In another large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium high heat. Add the onions and stir until they are starting to turn tender, about 3 minutes.
• Whisk in the flour, followed by the chicken broth. Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the carrots, celery, 1 teaspoon salt and the sage. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
• Add the milk and the chicken and simmer for another 5 minutes.
• Spoon the chicken mixture into one large casserole or individual casseroles. Top with the mashed potatoes, spreading them to the sides of the casserole. At this point you can put them in the fridge if you are baking them later, just let them come to room temperature before you bake.
• Place the casserole on a rimmed baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. Cool slightly, garnish with remaining scallions and serve!

CHICKEN POT PIE W/ MASHED POTATOE TOPPER

Steps:

• 1. Add 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp of olive oil to large pan. Chop onion, celery, carrots, and mushrooms and throw in pan. Saute vegetables for about 5 minutes or until they become soft. Add a splash of white wine or chicken stock to give them a little flavor ( I added both). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, now add 5 tbsp of flour and stir until it bubbles. Slowly add chicken stock and keep stirring until smooth and has thickened. Add your sage. Stir until sauce begins to simmer - around 5 minutes. Pour in half and half, stir and taste. If you need more flavor, stir in a few tablespoons of chicken granules ( I used about 5 tbsp). Transfer chicken pie mix into a container and store it in refrigerator until your potatoes are done.
• 2. Peel and cut potatoes, cook them in salted water for 15- 20 minutes or until they are soft. Drain them and put in bowl. Microwave the 1/2 stick of butter, heavy cream, and sour cream for about 30 secs or until soft and smooth.
• 3. Pour cream sauce over potatoes, add salt and pepper to taste - I also added 1c of shredded cheddar cause I couldn't resist. Using you mixer, whip them up until light and fluffy. I used a regular glass pie dish. Roll your pie crust into dish, pour in the chicken pie mix then dollop on the mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with a couple of pads of butter and salt and pepper. Bake at 375º for 40-45 minutes until top is golden and crust looks done. Use a cookie sheet underneath in case it starts to bubble over. It was nice and creamy, I hate runny pot pies. This one was delicious!
