SKILLET CHICKEN POTPIE



Skillet Chicken Potpie image

Using store-bought puff pastry instead of homemade pie crust for a chicken potpie might seem like cheating, but rest assured it's for the best, adding shatteringly flaky layers that even the best pie crust lacks. This recipe calls for bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs, so that the chicken fat rendered from searing can serve as the base of the gravy. But for a weeknight-friendly version, shredded rotisserie chicken can be used instead. Just use a tablespoon or two of butter to replace the fat. (A note about store-bought puff pastry: No two brands are the same size, but know that all you need is to cover the surface of the skillet. If it's larger than expected, feel free to trim or crimp the edges like a pie, and if it seems too small or is a strange shape, simply roll the pastry on a lightly floured surface to increase its dimensions.)

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs (smaller work better here)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 small carrots, thinly sliced (about 6 ounces)
3 celery stalks, thinly sliced (about 6 ounces)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon thyme leaves, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1 (12-or 14-ounce) sheet (or 2 8½-ounce sheets pressed together at the edges) frozen puff pastry, thawed, rolled into a 12-inch circle
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or other heavy bottom skillet) over medium heat. Sear chicken, skin-side down, until deeply golden brown and some of the fat has begun to render out, 5 to 8 minutes. Rotate chicken and continue to cook on all sides until evenly browned and cooked through, an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken, keeping all the drippings in the skillet, and let cool slightly on a plate.
  • To the drippings, add carrots, celery, garlic, onion and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender and just cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add flour and stir to coat all the vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until the flour has started to turn a light golden brown with no white, floury bits left, about 3 minutes.
  • Slowly add the chicken broth or stock ½ cup at a time, using a wooden spoon to blend and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Once all the broth or stock is added, bring to a simmer and remove from heat.
  • Remove the bones and skin from the chicken and shred the meat and skin (discard any skin that is too thick or rubbery) into bite-size pieces or, alternatively, cut it with a knife and fork into bite-size pieces. (If you discover at this stage any pieces of chicken that are not completely cooked through, don't worry; they will finish cooking in the oven.) Add the peas, parsley and chicken and season once more with salt and pepper.
  • Carefully unfold the puff pastry and working quickly, place it on top of the skillet (do not worry about it being a perfect circle), letting some of the dough hang off the sides (this will keep it from shrinking too much).
  • Whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon of water and brush onto the top of the puff pastry. Cut three 2½-inch slits, about 1-inch apart and place the skillet on top of the sheet pan to catch any drips in the oven.
  • Bake until puff pastry is golden brown on top and filling is starting to bubble up, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375 degrees and continue to cook until puff pastry is baked through all the way and filling has thickened considerably, another 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly before eating.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces bow-tie pasta (farfalle)
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth, plus more if needed for thinning

1 cup halved grape tomatoes
4 ounces baby spinach
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • Slice the chicken into thin strips and season with salt and pepper. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until deep golden brown on both sides and done in the middle. Remove the chicken from the skillet and add the minced garlic. Cook the garlic for 1 minute, then pour in the broth. Let it bubble up and reduce for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
  • Next, add the half-and-half, cream and some salt and pepper. Add the Parmesan, whisking constantly until it's all combined. Allow the liquid to heat up and thicken for a few minutes. If it gets too thick, you may thin it with a little chicken broth.
  • When the sauce looks good, remove it from the heat. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the grape tomatoes, spinach and pasta. Toss, taste, adjust the seasoning, top with minced parsley and serve immediately in the skillet!
