Velveeta Chicken Curry Pot Pie Recipes

CURRIED CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
• Season chicken breasts with Garam Masala and salt.
• Fry in a hot pan for 3-4 minutes per side. I prefer to under-cook them just slightly as they will continue cooking during baking.
• Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside to rest.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Place the mixed vegetables on a cooking sheet and roast in a oven for 5 to 10 minutes until browned slightly. In sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butte. Add the onion and celery; sauté until tender. In another saucepan, heat the broth and milk.
• Add two more tablespoons of butter to the celery mix to cook out all the water. After the water is cooked out, add the flour and curry to celery mix and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in hot milk mixture and cook until thickened.
• Add the parsley, salt, and pepper; toss in the browned vegetables and the chicken.
• Pour in a shallow baking pan and top with 6 to 8 puff pastry sheets that have been cut into circles. Place in oven and cook until the puff pastry has browned and the mixture is hot and bubbly about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. To make the crust: Pulse the flour and salt in a food processor briefly. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal with a few bean-size bits of butter. Drizzle over the 3 tablespoons ice water and pulse once or twice; don't let the dough form a mass around the blade. Remove the blade and bring the dough together by hand. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate 1 hour.
• 2. To prepare the filling: Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in the potatoes and carrots and cook stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Add the flour and curry powder and cook 1 minute longer. Pour in the broth, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Bring back down to a simmer and continue to cook until the potatoes and carrots are almost cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the chicken and cook just until the chicken is firm, about 2 minutes. Add the peas and raisins. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a 10-inch wide deep-dish pie plate. Cool slightly before proceeding.
• 3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a shape that is about an inch larger than the top of the baking dish. Roll the crust around the rolling pin and unroll it over the top of the baking dish. Pinch the edges to form a smooth edge, pressing against the inside of the rim. Cut slits in the center and in 1-inch intervals around the outer rim to allow the steam to escape. Stir the egg yolk and cream to blend and gently brush over the pastry to glaze. (The dish can be prepared up to 2 days to this point, covered and refrigerated.)
• 4. Place the pot pie on a baking sheet to catch any overflow and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

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.

CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and take the pastry out of the freezer to thaw slightly.
• Heat a sauté pan over medium heat with a little oil and sweat the celery and onion with a little salt.
• While that is softening, toss the veg medley with some canola oil, spread on a baking sheet, and roast in the oven.
• Push the celery and onion off to the side of the pan and add the butter, flour, and curry powder. Stir together until smooth and cook for 2 minutes.
• Heat the broth and milk in the microwave until close to boiling. Pour into the pan and bring to a boil (about 1 minute).
• Add the veggies and the chicken to the pan and stir.
• Move the mixture to a casserole dish, packing the mixture down to eliminate air bubbles.
• Open the puff pastry sheet, and seal the seams from the folds by pressing with your fingers, then roll out the sheet with a rolling pin.
• Using a fork, poke holes all over the dough, and then cut out rounds w/ a biscuit cutter (press straight down through the dough before turning the cutter). Space the rounds about 1 inch inches apart on the top of the casserole.
• Bake uncovered for 45 minutes.
