CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Make the dough: Combine the flour, sugar, salt, thyme and chives in a food processor and pulse a few times to evenly combine. Add the butter and pulse 7 or 8 times until the butter is in pea-size bits. Add the vinegar and 2 tablespoons ice water and pulse just until the dough starts to come together into a ball. (Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons ice water if the dough is too dry.) Form the dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you make the filling, at least 1 hour.
• Make the filling: Pile the 2 crushed garlic cloves, bay leaf, lemon peel, peppercorns and coriander seeds on a square of cheesecloth. Bring the corners together to form a pouch and tie with a piece of kitchen twine.
• Combine the chicken, chicken broth and cheesecloth pouch in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate using tongs. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl; discard the cheesecloth pouch. Wipe out the saucepan; return the strained broth to the pan and keep at a very gentle simmer over low heat. Shred the chicken using 2 forks.
• Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the potato, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook until the potato is slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and the thyme and cook until softened, 1 minute. Add the vinegar and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour until the vegetables are evenly coated. Pour in 1 3/4 cups of the strained chicken broth (save the rest for another use). Bring to a gentle boil and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Add the shredded chicken, parsley and peas and stir to combine and heat through; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the filling to a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate and let cool until no longer steaming, about 20 minutes.
• Bake the pot pie: Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough into an 11-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Place it over the filling. Roll the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges with your fingers. Cut vents in the top of the dough. Beat the egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush the crust all over with the egg wash. Place the pot pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the crust is a deep golden brown, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool 20 minutes before serving.

FABIO'S EASY CHICKEN DINNER RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut the potatoes in half. Cut the carrots into pieces about the same size as the halved potatoes. In a medium bowl, toss the vegetables with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside while you prepare the chicken. Cut 2 thin slices of lemon, and cut the remaining lemon into 6 thick slices. Pull the oregano leaves from the stems and roughly chop them. Discard the stems. Pull the thyme leaves from the stems. Combine with the minced garlic, and discard the stems. Slide your finger under the chicken skin to separate the skin from the meat. Place one thin lemon slice under the skin of each chicken breast. Follow with the garlic-thyme mixture and then the oregano. Reposition the skin so that it's covering as much meat as possible. Drizzle each chicken breast with a little more olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. On one side of a roasting pan, place the thick lemon slices side by side and touching. Place the chicken on the bed of lemon slices so that it does not touch the bottom of the pan. Add the prepared vegetables to the other side of the pan. Pour the chicken stock over the vegetables and around the chicken. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken and vegetables are fully cooked. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

FABIO'S CHICKEN POTPIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. For the crust: Place the flour, Parmesan, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter has been reduced to slightly smaller pieces. With the motor running, slowly add the ice water, until the dough comes together.
• 2. Transfer the dough quickly to a lightly floured surface, and knead it briefly a few times until it forms a ball. Flatten the ball slightly. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it while you make the filling.
• 3. For the filling: In a pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the celery, onions, and carrots, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, just until the mixture starts to caramelize.
• 4. Add the potatoes, and sauté until the potatoes start to brown around the edges and the onions are a little more caramelized. Stir in the chicken with another pinch of salt and pepper, and continue to saute, stirring occasionally, until all the meat turns white, about 10 minutes.
• 5. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well so that the flour evenly coats the mixture, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually stir in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Simmer for a minute.
• 6. Stir in the broccoli and then the peas; heat through. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the parsley and oregano. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
• 7. To assemble the potpies: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and a little water, and set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to a 1/3- inch thickness.
• 8. Cut out 6 rounds that are slightly larger than 6 oven-safe bowls. Ladle the hot filling into the bowls. Top each bowl with a round of dough, fitting the dough inside the bowl rim so that it touches the filling. Flute the edges of the dough.
• 9. Brush the dough with the prepared egg wash. Cut small slits in the dough to let steam escape. Place the bowls on a baking sheet, and bake until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 30 to 45 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN POTPIE WITH PHYLLO CLUSTERS

Steps:

• Place chicken in a medium Dutch oven or large saucepan, skin-sides down. Cover with broth and 2 cups water; add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until chicken is just cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; let cool about 30 minutes. Strain broth, discarding solids (you should have about 3 1/2 cups).
• Remove chicken from bones and shred meat into bite-size chunks. Discard skin and bones. You'll need 2 1/2 cups chicken; save the rest for salads or sandwiches.
• Wash and dry Dutch oven or saucepan; melt butter in it over medium-high heat. Add leeks, carrots, celery, potato, 1 teaspoon salt, and some pepper. Cook, stirring, until leeks are translucent, about 4 minutes. Add vermouth; cook until mostly evaporated, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Stir in flour; cook 20 seconds, stirring constantly. Stir in 2 3/4 cups broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until potato is just barely tender, about 5 minutes (mixture will look very thick; that's okay, as the vegetables will release liquid in the oven).
• Stir in chicken, peas, artichokes, and chopped tarragon. Season to taste; transfer to a 2 1/2-quart baking dish (such as a 9 1/2-to-10-by-2-inch-deep round one) and let cool 30 minutes, or refrigerate, covered, up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush a sheet of phyllo lightly with melted butter. Scrunch into a loose ball and place on filling. Repeat with more sheets brushed with butter, covering the filling but leaving a bit of space between pieces. Bake until golden brown and bubbling in center, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes before serving, garnished with tarragon sprig.
