RACHAEL RAY'S BUFFALO CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the chopped chicken chunks and sauté them on both sides until golden brown.
• Remove chicken chunks from skillet and reserve on a plate.
• Add another 2 tablespoons of EVOO, onion, carrot, celery and garlic to the same skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
• While the veggies are cooking start the sauce. In a medium-size sauce pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat; stir in the flour and cook until light brown, about 1 minute.
• Whisk the chicken stock and hot sauce into the butter/flour mixture and bring it to a boil.
• Simmer the gravy until thickened, 2 or 3 minutes.
• Return the reserved chicken chunks to the skillet with the cooked vegetables.
• Add the gravy, stirring to combine.
• Transfer everything to a 9x11" casserole dish and set aside while you prepare the topping.
• TOPPING:.
• In a medium-size mixing bowl, prepare the cornbread according to package directions.
• Stir the blue cheese crumbles into the cornbread mixture and drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the top of the casserole, covering it completely.
• Bake the pot pie until the cornbread is baked through and the filling is hot, 20 to 30 minutes.

QUICK ROTISSERIE CHICKEN POT PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Have rack 1 rung up from center in oven.
• Gather your ingredients.
• Lightly flour work surface and roll out dough a bit; cut into 4 to 6 portions (I cut rectangles to keep it easy and based on how many people I'm feeding). Cut a small hole in center of each piece of dough with a 1-inch round or heart shaped cookie cutter, or freehand cut some slits or designs with tip of sharp small knife. Using a fork, beat an egg in a small dish with a splash of water. Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment and arrange dough pieces. Brush dough with egg wash and bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 22 minutes.
• Peel and chop the onion and potato. Halve the celery and carrot lengthwise and chop. Halve the leek, trim top tough greens and roots and run under cold water while fanning the leek to release grit. Shake the leek of excess water and thinly slice. Peel and slice planks off the apple around the core, then stack and dice 1/4 inch.
• Heat a Dutch oven or large deep skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Melt butter and when it foams add the onion, potato, celery, leek, apple, bay and herb bundle and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook to soften, 8 to 10 minutes, partially covered and stirring occasionally. Add flour and stir a minute. Add stock and whisk in to thicken a bit.
• Separate the chicken from the bones and skin and pull meat. Add to sauce to reheat. Remove bay and herbs. Remove chicken from heat and stir in Dijon mustard, cream and lemon juice.
• Serve the chicken and vegetables in bowls and top with pastry.
