Chicken Pot Pie W Mashed Potatoe Topper Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium skillet melt the butter over medium high heat, saute the potatoes, onions, leeks, carrots, and garlic until golden. Add the white wine and simmer for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Mix the flour and milk until smooth and add to the vegetables, and cook until thickened. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet heat the oil over high heat and sear the chicken until golden. Cut seared chicken into 1/2 inch chunks and add it, the thyme, and parsley to the vegetables and set side.
• For the topping: Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water, season with salt.
• Over high heat bring to a boil and simmer until tender. Drain the potatoes and let them sit for 5 minutes to steam dry. Put the potatoes through a food mill. Warm the cream and stir into the potatoes. Mix in the butter. Season, to taste.
• To assemble the pot pies fill 6 ramekins with 1 cup of filling each and top with the mashed potatoes. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Place the chicken bones in a stock pot and cover with the cold water. Bring to a boil, skimming the fat and foam from the surface of the stock. Add the carrots, onions, celery, leek, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and garlic. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 2 hours. Strain the stock into a container. Cool and refrigerate. Store in a tightly covered container for 5 days in the refrigerator or freeze for 1 month.

Steps:

• 1. Add 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp of olive oil to large pan. Chop onion, celery, carrots, and mushrooms and throw in pan. Saute vegetables for about 5 minutes or until they become soft. Add a splash of white wine or chicken stock to give them a little flavor ( I added both). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, now add 5 tbsp of flour and stir until it bubbles. Slowly add chicken stock and keep stirring until smooth and has thickened. Add your sage. Stir until sauce begins to simmer - around 5 minutes. Pour in half and half, stir and taste. If you need more flavor, stir in a few tablespoons of chicken granules ( I used about 5 tbsp). Transfer chicken pie mix into a container and store it in refrigerator until your potatoes are done.
• 2. Peel and cut potatoes, cook them in salted water for 15- 20 minutes or until they are soft. Drain them and put in bowl. Microwave the 1/2 stick of butter, heavy cream, and sour cream for about 30 secs or until soft and smooth.
• 3. Pour cream sauce over potatoes, add salt and pepper to taste - I also added 1c of shredded cheddar cause I couldn't resist. Using you mixer, whip them up until light and fluffy. I used a regular glass pie dish. Roll your pie crust into dish, pour in the chicken pie mix then dollop on the mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with a couple of pads of butter and salt and pepper. Bake at 375º for 40-45 minutes until top is golden and crust looks done. Use a cookie sheet underneath in case it starts to bubble over. It was nice and creamy, I hate runny pot pies. This one was delicious!
