Chicken And Sweet Potato Hand Pies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, mash sweet potatoes with a fork or potato masher. Add cream, coriander, and cumin; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• On a floured work surface, roll out puff pastry to a 12-inch square and cut into 4 squares. Divide sweet-potato mixture among bottom halves of squares, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top each with 1/2 cup chicken and brush edges of squares with some egg. Fold top halves of squares over filling to make a triangle, then crimp edges with a fork. With a sharp knife, cut vents in pastry and brush with remaining egg.
• Transfer pies to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden and crisp, about 30 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, bring 1/2 inch salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook, covered, until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and serve with pies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place chicken on top then sprinkle with one teaspoon of salt and drizzle over one tablespoon of olive oil and cook in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender.
• Remove from the oven, discard skin and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Using two forks, shred the meat making sure it is still chunky; set aside.
• Add the remaining oil to a medium saucepan on high heat. Brown the onion and garlic before adding the carrots, celery and leek.
• Once browned, add the chicken and stir for one minute before deglazing with the stock.
• Next add the white wine vinegar, pepper, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf and remaining salt. Turn the heat to low, cover and allow to simmer for 30 to 40 minutes or until stock has reduced.
• Meanwhile, in another saucepan, add the sweet potato and cover with water. Bring to a boil on high heat, before turning to medium heat and allowing to cook for a further 6 to 8 minutes, or until a knife pierces flesh easily.
• Drain sweet potato and allow to dry out for 2 minutes before putting in a blender with the almond milk and processing until smooth. Remove and set aside.
• Preheat the broiler to medium/high.
• Spoon the chicken mix into an ovenproof dish, avoiding the thyme, rosemary and bay leaf if possible. Spoon the sweet potato mix on top and spread around evenly to get it smooth. Place under the broiler for 5 minutes or until the top changes color.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C.
• Heat oil in a pan, add onion and sauté for approx 2 minutes until lightly browned, add mince and cook for about 4 minutes or until well browned breaking up any lumps.
• Add remaining filling ingredients and bring to the boil, reduce heat & simmer for approx 15 minutes until mixture has thickened and sweet potato is tender.
• Spoon mixture into a 24cm pie plate.
• To Make topping: Cook potatoes in rapidly boiling water until tender, approx 10 minutes and then drain.
• Mash potatoes with butter & sour cream until smooth & fluffy.
• Spread topping over chicken filling evenly.
• Bake for approx 20 minutes until heated through & lightly browned.

Steps:

• 1. Simmer the potato in a small pot of salted water until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
• 2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the carrot, celery, and raw chicken, season with salt and pepper to taste, and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook until the vegetables are softened and the chicken is just about cooked, 3 to 5 minutes.
• 3. Sprinkle the flour over everything, stir, and cook for 1 minute. Add the broth, thyme, and reserved potatoes, and simmer for 2 minutes more. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, 15 to 30 minutes. Remove the pie crusts from the refrigerator so they can soften slightly.
• 4. When the filling is cool, preheat oven to 425°F and set the racks in the upper and lower thirds of oven. Grease or line two baking sheets.
• 5. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out 1 pie crust into a rough rectangle (don't roll it too thin or the handpies will fall apart). Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to square off the rounded edges, then cut the dough into 4 equal pieces.
• 6. Place about 1/4 cup of filling slightly off-center on 1 piece of dough, then fold the dough over to form a rectangle. Crimp the edges together with a fork, and prick the top a few times for steam to escape. Carefully transfer pie to the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with remaining pie crust and filling.
• 7. Brush each pie lightly with the egg wash, then bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• For the filling: Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Place the sweet potatoes in a medium bowl and toss them with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and a pinch of salt. Push the onions to the side and add the sweet potatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to soften and the onions caramelize, about 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic, habanero, thyme, ginger, smoked paprika and allspice; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the lentils and toss until combined. If the mixture becomes dry, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to loosen any dry bits, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
• For assembly: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix the oil and curry powder in a small bowl.
• Unroll the phyllo dough on the counter with the shorter end facing towards you. Cut the phyllo in half lengthwise with a sharp knife so the sheets are about 6 1/2-by-18 inches each. Stack the cut sheets on top of each other. Cover the stack with a moistened kitchen towel or paper towels to keep the phyllo from drying out.
• Set a half sheet of phyllo on the counter with the shorter end facing towards you and brush the sheet lightly with the curry oil. Fold the sheet in half from left to right so that you have one long narrow strip. Brush it again with the curry oil, then place 1 tablespoon of the filling on the bottom right corner of the phyllo. Fold the right corner up toward the left side of the sheet to form a triangle, then keep folding up in a triangle shape along the length of the phyllo, brushing each fold lightly with the curry oil; place the completed pie on the prepared baking sheet and brush the top lightly with curry oil. Continue with the remaining filling, phyllo and curry oil.
• Sprinkle all the pies lightly with kosher salt. Bake until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, for the cool yogurt dipping sauce: Whisk together the yogurt, lemon zest and juice and mint in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use. Serve the hot pies with the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook and stir until tender, 3-4 minutes. Stir in sweet potato, red pepper and celery; cook 5 minutes longer. Add 1/4 cup broth. Reduce heat; cook, covered, over medium-low heat until vegetables are tender, 6-8 minutes., Sprinkle flour over vegetables; cook and stir 1 minute. Gradually add milk and remaining broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken, sherry and seasonings. Transfer to an 11x7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, until heated through, 10-15 minutes., Meanwhile, stack all 5 sheets of phyllo dough. Roll up lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1/2-in.-wide strips. In a bowl, toss strips to separate; spritz with butter-flavored spray. Place on an ungreased baking sheet; spritz again. Bake until golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Arrange over chicken mixture.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F Oil four 12 oz ramekins, or use a 9" pie plate.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the onion, salt and pepper. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, covered, stirring occasionally until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, shred chicken discarding bones and skin; set aside.
• Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Gradually stir in the wine and then the broth and bring to a boil.
• Add the chicken, peas, parsley, tarragon, and nutmeg.
• Divide the mixture among the prepared ramekins (about 3/4 C each).
• Using a 4" round cookie cutter, cut out 4 pieces of puff pastry. Place the pastry on top of the ramekins.
• Place the pot pies on a rimmed baking sheet (line with foil to catch drips). Brush pastry with beaten egg. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place eight 7-ounce foil containers or oven-safe bowls on a baking sheet lined with foil.
• Heat olive oil in a large nonstick pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; cook until onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add celery and cook for 2 more minutes. Stir in green beans, carrots, thyme, and poultry seasoning; cook for 1 minute. Add broth and corn and let mixture simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Stir in chopped chicken.
• Whisk evaporated milk and flour together in a small bowl until smooth. Add to the pot. Cook and stir until mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Add Swiss cheese and parsley and stir until cheese melts. Cover and keep warm.
• Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for biscuits in a large bowl. Combine mashed sweet potato, buttermilk, and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter in a medium bowl; whisk to combine. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir gently until a ball is formed.
• Transfer biscuit dough to a lightly floured surface. Press dough with lightly floured hands or roll dough to about 1/3-inch thickness. Cut dough into 2 1/2-inch circles (or just slightly smaller than the top of your bowls) with a round cookie cutter.
• Fill bowls with warm chicken mixture and top each with a biscuit. Brush tops of biscuits with remaining melted butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling bubbles and biscuits are puffed up and golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
