Chicken And Bacon Pot Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare dough for Foolproof PHILLY Pie Crust Recipe and refrigerate as directed.
• Cook and stir bacon in Dutch oven or large deep skillet on medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard all but 2 tsp. drippings from pan.
• Add vegetables and garlic to reserved drippings in pan; cook 5 min., stirring occasionally. Add flour; cook and stir 1 min. Gradually stir in broth. Bring to boil. Add cream cheese; cook and stir 1 min. or until cream cheese is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Remove from heat; stir in chicken. Spoon into 9-inch deep-dish pie plate sprayed with cooking spray; top with bacon.
• Heat oven to 400ºF. Roll out pie crust dough into 10-inch round between 2 sheets of waxed paper; place over chicken mixture. Flute edge, sealing crust to edge of pie plate. Cut several slits in crust to allow steam to escape. Place on baking sheet.
• Bake 40 min. or until golden brown, covering edge of crust with foil for the last 10 min. if necessary to prevent overbrowning.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a heavy-based frying pan, fry the bacon in the oil until beginning to crisp. Then add the sliced mushrooms and soften them in the pan with the bacon.
• Turn the chicken strips in the flour and thyme and then melt the butter in the bacon and mushroom pan. Add the chicken and all the flour left in the bag. Stir around with the bacon and mushrooms until the chicken begins to color.
• Pour in the hot chicken stock and Marsala, stirring to form a sauce and let this bubble away for about 5 minutes.
• Take two deep oven-proof bowls and make a pastry rim for each one by placing a strip curled around the top of each bowl. Dampen the edges with a little water to make the pastry stick. Cut a circle bigger than the top of each pie for the lid, and then divide the chicken filling between the two bowls. Dampen the rim of the pastry again and then pop on the lid for each bowl, sealing the edges with your fingers or the underneath of the prongs of a fork. Cook the pot pies for about 20 minutes turning them around halfway through cooking. Once cooked, they should have puffed up magnificently.
