Chicken Pot Pie With Mushrooms And Asparagus Recipes

CHICKEN POT PIE WITH PUFF PASTRY CRUST

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
• Add the sliced mushrooms, season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes then add the asparagus, red potatoes, carrots, and thyme leaves.
• Season with the rest of the salt and the black pepper and continue to cook for 7-10 minutes until the potatoes and asparagus become tender.
• Add the chicken and the peas and stir to combine. Sprinkle the mixture with the flour, then stir to combine well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in the chicken broth and almond milk and bring to a boil, and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Taste, and add more salt and pepper if needed. Turn off the heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Unwrap the puff pastry and use a rolling pin to lengthen the dough. Cut the puff pastry into 4 squares.
• Fill each baking dish or ramekin with 1 1/2 cups of the chicken pot pie filling, then top with a puff pastry square. Repeat with the remaining ramekins.
• Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and lightly brush the puff pastry with the egg.
• Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the puff pastry is golden. Serve hot.

CHICKEN, MOREL MUSHROOM & ASPARAGUS ONE-PAN PIE

Steps:

• If you are using dried mushrooms, heat the stock and soak them for 10 mins, then remove them, strain the liquid and set it aside. If you're using fresh mushrooms, clean them thoroughly before using. Set a couple of the nicest-looking morels aside to decorate the top of the pie, and halve the rest.
• Heat half the butter in a skillet and fry the halved morels for 3-4 mins or until wilted. Scoop them onto a plate and set aside. Heat the remaining butter and gently cook the shallots in the pan with the thyme and bay. Once softened, stir in the flour and cook for 1 min or until you have a sandy paste.
• Pour in the sherry and sizzle, then carefully stir in the strained soaking liquid (or 200ml chicken stock if you've used fresh morels), followed by the crème fraîche. Season well and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Add the chicken and poach in the sauce for 10 mins or until the chicken is just cooked through. Remove the bay, stir through the asparagus, tarragon and fried morels, then remove from the heat.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. The pastry needs to sit on top of the ingredients, so if your pan is too deep, use a pie dish instead. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to the thickness of a £1 coin, then cut the pastry to fit the pan or dish, and drape it over the pie mixture using a rolling pin to help you. Liberally brush with egg, season the pastry with flaky sea salt, and pop your reserved morels on the top. Bake for 20 mins or until the pastry has puffed and is a deep golden brown. Leave tor rest for 5 mins before serving straight from the pan.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM POTPIES

Steps:

• Make the filling: Cook bacon in a large saucepan over low heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate using a slotted spoon. Raise heat to medium, and add oil. Add onion, and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add mushrooms, carrots, and celery, and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in flour.
• Add stock, and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cream. Simmer until chicken is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Return bacon to saucepan. Let cool.
• Divide filling among eight 4-inch (12 ounce) ramekins.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the topping: Roll out pate brisee to a 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out 8 circles that are 1 inch wider than the ramekins. Top ramekins with dough, and crimp edges with a fork to seal. Brush dough with egg wash. Freeze for 20 minutes.
• Bake until toppings are golden and fillings are bubbling, about 40 minutes.

COUNTRY CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM POT PIE

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup boiling water and chicken bouillon in a liquid measure; set aside to dissolve.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add mushrooms; fry for about 3 minutes. Remove onion-mushroom mixture from the pot.
• Add remaining butter to the pot with chicken pieces. Stir chicken and splash Worcestershire sauce over top. Cook, stirring continuously, until chicken is seared on all sides but not cooked through, about 3 minutes. Stir in onion-mushroom mixture, bouillon, and pepper.
• Add milk and 1/4 cup water; boil for 20 minutes. Add frozen vegetables and boil for 10 more minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch oven-proof dish and lay down bottom crust in it. Set top crust aside.
• After filling has boiled for 10 minutes, use a large ladle to scoop out approximately 1 cup sauce from the mixture and pour into a cup. Add cornstarch to the cup and stir until all lumps have dissolved. Add cornstarch mixture back to the pot; cook and stir until filling has thickened to your liking.
• Bake bottom crust in the preheated oven for approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, add filling, and cover with the top crust, making sure the edges are sealed. Make cute decorations with pastry cut-offs and use a knife to make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Lightly paint egg yolk over the top crust.
• Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Ovens vary so baking time may vary-keep an eye on it.

CHICKEN POT PIE WITH MUSHROOMS, BACON AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
• Heat a large, deep heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
• Once the skillet is hot, add the bacon and cook for a minute or so until it starts to release its fat.
• Add the chicken and cook, stirring from time to time, until it's just starting to brown on the outside (it may not be fully cooked on the inside), approx. 5-6 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken pieces).
• Remove the chicken and bacon from the pan and place on a plate until ready to use.
• Add the onion, thyme to the pan with a big pinch of salt and a few grounds of black pepper. Cook over medium heat until the onions are just starting to soften (3-4 minutes).
• Add the asparagus and mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are starting to release their juices (5-6 minutes).
• Add the flour and mix until all the vegetables are completely coated.
• Add the chicken stock and cook until the liquid is starting to thicken into a sauce.
• Add the chicken and bacon back into the pot, then add the milk and stir to combine.
• Simmer until the liquid has reduced to a thick "sauce". It should look like a slightly watery stew at this point.
• Pour the filling into a large baking dish (approx. 8 x 11-inches/ 20 x 28cm and 2 inches/ 5cm deep) and distribute evenly.
• Roll the puff pastry out so it's big enough to cover the filling, with a slight overhang.
• Lay the pastry over the top of the filling and use your hands to gently press any air out from between the pastry and the filling. Fold the overhang inwards.
• Poke some holes in the top of the pastry with a sharp knife, to let some steam escape.
• Use the tines of a fork to decorate the edges and brush the pastry with the egg wash.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed and the filling is bubbling.
• Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives to serve.

SAUTEED CHICKEN WITH ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOMS

• To skillet, add mushrooms, asparagus, and 1 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing once and scraping up browned bits, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Add chicken; cook, tossing, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Serve on top of noodles or rice, if desired.

CHICKEN ASPARAGUS PIE

Steps:

• Sauté the carrots, onions and mushrooms in the butter, cook for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the flour and gradually add the milk stirring until the sauce thickens, boils and is smooth.
• Add the chicken, asparagus, seasoning and cream to the sauce.
• Pour the mixture into a 1¼-quart pie dish.
• Roll the pastry to the same size as the dish, dampen the rim and cover with the pastry.
• Brush with egg wash.
• Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.

CHICKEN POT PIE WITH MUSHROOMS AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Prepare filling. Heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp canola oil in a large skillet over medium. When the butter is melted add mushrooms, onions, carrots and asparagus. Depending how large your skillet is you may need to do 2 batches. Cook veggies until nearly tender, then remove from heat and set aside. Add diced chicken to the veggies, stirring gently to combine.
• Prepare crust. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until large crumbs form. Set aside. In a small bowl, beat together the egg, water, vinegar and molasses. Add liquid to flour mixture, stirring just until dough forms. It may be necessary to use your hands to make a smooth dough. Try not to handle it too much or it becomes tough. Divide the dough into two portions. Roll each into a circle between waxed paper. Use one to line a round casserole dish, then bake about 10 minutes. Set the other circle of crust aside for now.
• Prepare sauce. In a small pot, combine water, mushroom bouillon and pepper. Heat to nearly boiling. In a small bowl or glass Pyrex style measuring cup combine flour with enough milk to equal about 1 cup total. Stir thoroughly until smooth. Slowly pour into hot bouillon, stirring constantly. Add parmesan. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Build the pot pie. Transfer the chicken and veggie mixture to the prepared crust. Pour over about 1 cup of the sauce. Top with remaining circle of crust, tucking under edges like for pie. Put at least one slit in the top of the crust to vent. It's best to bake it on top of a cookie sheet just in case it drips, it's a bit of guesswork how much sauce to add for which casserole dish you're using.
• Bake at 350 for about an hour, until crust is golden. Let cool a few minutes before serving - the crust will become more crisp as it begins to cool. Slice, serve and enjoy!
