All the flavors of chicken pot pie, but handheld!
Ingredients
- 1 medium potato, peeled and chopped into 1/4 inch piecesSubstitute 1/2 cup thawed frozen corn kernels here, if you prefer. Add with the carrot and celery in Step 2.
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, quartered lengthwise and chopped
- 1 celery rib, halved lengthwise and chopped
- 4 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, choppedGot some cooked chicken? Add it with the potatoes in step 3 instead.
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 unbaked pie crusts, either store bought or homemade (not pie shells)
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Simmer the potato in a small pot of salted water until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Brush each pie lightly with the egg wash, then bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
