Curry Chicken Popover Pie Recipes

EASY CURRY CHICKEN HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Add butter to a skillet over medium high heat. Toss in celery, onion, and carrots and stir to coat in the butter.
• Cook for approximately 5 minutes or until veggies are tender and fragrant.
• Stir in the flour and curry powder and stir to coat. Once the veggies are all coated and a paste forms, stir in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Allow to thicken for about 1-2 minutes, then remove from the heat.
• Stir in the sour cream and the sliced chicken breast. Set aside.
• Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Use the bottom of a glass or a 3" round cookie cutter to cut out circles in the dough. The two sheets should yield about 18 circles total.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture to one half of each circle. Moisten the edge of each circle with a small amount of water, and then fold over the dough to cover the mixture
• and press to close. Use a fork to close each hand pie. Lay each completed hand pie on a greased baking sheet, about 1" apart.
• Repeat with remaining dough.
• In a small bowl, combine whisked egg and water. Brush each hand pie with egg mixture and then sprinkle lightly with flake sea salt.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until crisped and golden. Serve warm.
• Enjoy!

CURRIED CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
• Season chicken breasts with Garam Masala and salt.

• In the same pan, add a splash of oil and cook the onion, celery and carrot until soft and lightly golden.
• Add the garlic and spices and cook for 1 minute.
• Sprinkle in the flour, stir to coat the vegetables then pour in the stock and cream.
• Bring to a simmer and allow to cook until thickened.
• Cube the chicken and stir into the sauce with the lemon juice then season to taste.
• Top the pie with thawed puff pastry.
• Brush with beaten egg then place in the oven.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed.
• Remove from the oven and serve.

CHICKEN POT PIE POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan generously with the baking spray.
• Whisk the milk, flour, vanilla, eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until combined. Drizzle in the melted butter while whisking until combined; let the batter stand for 5 minutes. Add the baking powder, whisking to combine, and divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups (about a scant 1/4 cup batter per muffin cup). Bake the popovers until puffed and browned around the edges, rotating the pan about halfway through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the popovers are baking, whisk together the broth and flour in a medium saucepan until the flour is dissolved. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking continuously, until the mixture comes to a boil; continue to cook, whisking, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and half of the Cheddar. Stir in the peas and carrots, green beans and then the chicken; cover to keep warm.
• When the popovers are done, turn them out of the pan, using a small spatula if necessary. Arrange 2 popovers on each of 6 plates or bowls and top with the chicken filling, dividing evenly among the popovers. Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar over the warm filling. Garnish with chopped parsley if using. Serve with the iced tea.

CURRIED CHICKEN PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Pour 1 tbsp oil into a flameproof casserole dish. Addthe chicken, season and fry for 4-5 mins on a medium heat, turning, until lightly browned. Remove with tongs and set aside.
• Pour another ½ tbsp oil into the casserole dish and add the spring onions. Fry gently for a couple of mins, then stir in the garlic, ginger and curry powder. Cook for 1 min, then tip the chicken back into the pan, along with the broccoli, soy sauce, coconut milk, chicken stock and cornflour mixture. Bring to the boil, then stir in the kale. Once the kale has wilted, take the dish off the heat.
• Mix the remaining oil with the splash of coconut milk. Unravel the pastry. Brush each sheet lightly with the oil mixture, then scrunch up and sit on top of the pie mixture. Scatter over the nigella seeds, then cook in the oven for 12 mins, or until the pastry is a deep golden brown. Leave to stand for a couple of mins before serving.

CREAMY CURRIED CHICKEN PIE

Steps:

• Put the chicken, quartered onion, carrot chunks, ginger, garlic and herb stalks in a large stock pot. Cover the chicken completely with water, bring to a simmer, then turn down the heat, cover and cook gently for 1 hr. Turn the chicken over halfway through cooking and top up the water if you need to. After 1 hr the chicken should be tender - try pulling a leg away from the breast with some tongs. If there's much resistance, keep cooking, checking every 10 mins or so. Carefully remove the chicken from the cooking liquid and leave to cool on a plate for about 10 mins.
• Shred the chicken meat and discard the fat and bones. Strain the cooking liquid (this is your stock) and discard the onions, carrots and other bits (or keep them to make soup). Measure out 500ml of the stock.
• Melt the butter in a pan (use the stock pan if it's empty - you don't need to wash it). Add a drizzle of oil and the chopped onion and carrot. Cook until the veg is soft, for about 8-10 mins. Stir in the flour, curry paste and turmeric, then crumble in the stock cube. As you stir, the ingredients will clump together. Keep cooking for a min or so, then add a ladleful of the chicken cooking liquid. Stir well until smooth, then add another ladleful. Continue until all of the stock has been used up and you have a smooth sauce.
• Stir the chicken, cream and chopped herbs into the sauce, then season well and remove from the heat. If freezing portions at this stage, transfer to a sealable container or bag, cool, then freeze for up to two months. Defrost thoroughly in the fridge before reheating in a pan or the microwave. See tips below for serving suggestions.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Transfer the creamy curried chicken to a pie dish, about 25 x 5cm. Brush 6 sheets filo pastry with a little melted butter or oil and scrunch the sheets on top of the pie, covering the filling. Bake the pie for about 45-50 mins, until the top is crisp and the curried chicken is bubbling and hot. Serve with Tenderstem broccoli, if you like.

CURRY CHICKEN POT PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the oil and 6 tablespoons of the butter in large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the celery, onions, curry powder and a large pinch of salt and cook until the vegetables are soft and the onions turn translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute, then stir in the peas and carrots. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the chicken broth and milk, whisking to remove any flour lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and stir to combine.
• Pour the curry chicken into four 10-ounce ramekins or gratin-style bowls.
• Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll the pie crust large enough to cut 4 circles to fit over the ramekins. Lightly brush the edges of the ramekins with the egg wash. Place the pie crust over the top of the curry chicken, pressing to seal along the edges. Using a sharp paring knife, create a few slits in the top of the pies. Brush the top of the crust with the egg wash.
• Bake until the crust is a deep golden brown and the pot pies are bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Top with pats of the remaining 2 tablespoons butter right before serving.
