Cheddar Chicken Potpie

Cheddar Chicken Potpie 
          
6 Servings  Prep: 30 min. Bake: 40 min.

Ingredients

    CRUST:
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    5 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
    3 tablespoons cold water
    FILLING:
    1-1/2 cups chicken broth
    2 cups peeled cubed potatoes
    1 cup sliced carrots
    1/2 cup sliced celery
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1-1/2 cups milk
    2 cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
    4 cups cubed cooked chicken
    1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
    Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

For crust, in a small bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut butter in flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the water, mixing gently with a fork. Gather into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 30 minutes.

For filling, Place broth in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Add vegetables. Reduce heat; simmer 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

In a small bowl, combine flour and milk; stir into broth mixture.  Cook and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened and bubbly. Stir in cheese, chicken, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat  until cheese melts. Spoon into a 10-in. (2-1/2 to 3-qt.) casserole. Set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll crust to fit top of casserole, trimming edges as necessary. Place on casserole over filling; seal edges. Make several slits in center of crust for steam to escape.
   
Bake at 425° for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 6 servings.

Chicken a la King

Chicken a la King
From Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook 1989

1/4 cup margarine or butter
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms OR
    1 4-oz can mushroom pieces, drained
1/3 cup flour
½ teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 3/4 cups milk
1 cup chicken broth
2 cups cubed cooked chicken or turkey
1/4 cup chopped pimiento (optional)
2 Tablespoons dry sherry (optional)
8 toast point or 4 baked patty shells or 8 biscuits

In a saucepan melt margarine.  If using fresh mushrooms, add mushrooms and cook till tender.  Stir in flour,  salt, and pepper.  Add milk and chicken broth all at once.  Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly.  Cook and stir for 1 minute more.  Add canned mushrooms, if using.  Stir in chicken or turkey, and pimiento and dry sherry if desired.  Heat through.  Spoon atop toast points.  Serves 4


Cheesy Chicken a la King variation: Prepare as above, except add 1 cup shredded American or process Swiss cheese to the thickened mixture before adding the chicken or turkey. Stir till cheese melts.

Curried Chicken a la King variation: Prepare as above, except add 1 teaspoon curry powder to melted margarine; cook for 1 minute.  Omit dry sherry.

Herbed Chicken a la King variation: Prepare as above, except cook 2 tablespoons finely chopped green pepper or sliced green onion; 1 clove garlic, minced; and ½ teaspoon dried basil, crushed, in melted margarine till tender.

Note: I often substitute water and bouillon for broth, and then I don’t add salt.  Generally for our family I increase the recipe 3 or 4 times.  I find that in such quantities it is just a bit too liquid, so I reduce the amount of milk.  I never add pimiento or sherry.  Mie Oliphant

Wild Rice Soup

Wild Rice Soup

6 Tbsp margarine (I, Sandy, used about half this)
½ cup onion, chopped
2 stalks of celery, chopped
½ cup flour
2 cans chicken broth
2 cups wild rice, cooked (One box Zataran's wild rice)
½ cups grated carrots
1 lb cooked chicken, cubed
¼ cup slivered almonds (optional)
2 cups half and half
½ - 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Parsley

In a large saucepan, melt margarine; sauté onions and celery. Stir in flour and gradually add chicken broth then half and half. Stir in carrots, chicken and rice. Stir until slightly thickened and carrots are cooked. Add cheese and stir until melted. Add almonds and parsley.

I (Jamie) don't use the cheese or the almonds. Kim (Miller) said, originally it didn't call for cheese, but they added it for more flavor. I used the boxed Zataran's Wild Rice, so I think it had enough flavor. I am sure you could use Uncle Ben's too. If you use plain wild rice, you just may need to season it more!

Note: If I use regular rice I prefer to cook separately and add when it asks for it. You can also cook the cubed chicken in the chicken broth, drain, and then add each when the recipe asks for it. Then you don't have to worry about the rice or the chicken being fully cooked or having either burn on the bottom of the pan.

I have cubed zucchini, measured and put in freezer for this soup. GREAT way to use any sized zucchini and with it osterized the kids don't even know they are eating ZUCCHINI!

Mie’s Note: I always double this recipe.

Brown chicken on all sides in skillet in oil.  Season with salt and pepper.  Place in slow cooker.

Combine soup, mayo, curry powder, salt, and pepper.  Pour over chicken.  Cover and cook on high 3 hours or on low 5 hours.

If using fresh asparagus steam lightly until just tender.  If using canned asparagus, heat.  Drain asparagus and place in bottom of serving dish.  Cover asparagus with chicken.  Sprinkle with cheese.

Serve with egg noodles or white rice.  Add another cooked vegetable, along with fruit salad, applesauce, or mandarin oranges, as side dishes.

Note: I always double this recipe, and I nearly always make this WITHOUT the asparagus, but it is good with fresh asparagus.
