Crowd Pleaser Chicken

This was hands down a crowd pleaser in my house. It is a recipe I came across a while ago on food.com and I made a few adjustments. My kids literally loved this and did not seem to notice the veggies. It is rich and creamy and just really good. Really good. 

• 8 ounces noodles (I do not suggest a fettuccine type noodle or the like, a thicker different shaped noodle works best)
• 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (any type, I used left over rotisserie)
• 1/2 cupgreen pepper, diced
• 1/2 cupcelery, diced
• 1/2 cuponion, diced
• 4 ounces canned mushrooms don't buy the cheap ones...this matters (I used organic golden mushrooms, fantastic flavor)
• 1/2 cupchicken broth
• 1/2 cupParmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon basil
• 1 1/2 cupssmall curd cottage cheese
• 1 can cream of chicken soup

cook noodles per package instructions until almost done...a little firm.  Mix with all of the rest of the ingredients.  Make sure it is mixed thoroughly so the noodles do not stick together.  Spray your crock.  Put mix into crock and spread around so it is even.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours.  DO NOT...I REPEAT DO NOT LIFT THE LID.  You want it to bake and make a crusty brown outer edge.   Serve and enjoy.

I was not able to put this all together before leaving for work in the morning so I made it the night before and it worked fine.  I just pulled it out of the fridge and put the timer on.

Chicken Pot Pies

Yield: 6 servings
 
FILLING
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium-size yellow onion, chopped
1 large russet potato, peeled and diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 purchased cooked rotisserie chicken or 1 whole stewed chicken,
cooled
8 ounces fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces (optional)
1 (8-ounce) package frozen peas (optional)
 
CREAM SAUCE
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup all purpose flour
2 1/2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (optional) Dash of hot pepper
sauce, such as Tabasco
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
 
CRUST
1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter
3 cups all purpose flour
10 ounces chilled cream cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 large egg
 
To make the filling:
Melt the butter in a large sauté pan set over medium heat. Add
the onion and potato; sauté for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, bell
pepper, and mushrooms and sauté about 15 minutes, until the
potatoes are tender. Stir in the crushed red pepper and add salt
and pepper to taste.
 
While the vegetables are sauteing, skin the chicken, pull the
meat off the bones and shred the meat or cut into bite-size
pieces. Place the green beans in a microwave-safe bowl and add
enough water to cover. Cover the dish and microwave on high
power about 10 minutes, until the beans are tender. Drain
thoroughly. Stir the beans, peas and chicken into the vegetable
mixture. Set the filling aside.
 
To make the cream sauce:
Melt the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the
flour and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the chicken stock and
cook the sauce over medium heat until it thickens to the
consistency of a cream soup. Add the cream, hot pepper sauce,
and salt and white pepper to taste. Pour the cream sauce over
the chicken filling and stir to combine. Fill individual
1'/4-cup capacity oven-safe bowls three - quarters of the
way to the top with the creamed chicken filling.
 
To make the crust:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the butter into 16
pieces. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal
blade, pulse the butter and flour until crumbly. Add the cream
cheese, salt, and white pepper. Continue pulsing just until the
dough forms a ball.
Set the dough on a flat surface dusted with flour. Use a floured
rolling pin to roll the dough out to 1/4-inch thickness. Measure
the diameter of the pot pie bowls-mine are about 4 inches
across-and cut out dough rounds that are 1 1/2 inches larger in
diameter. Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Lay the dough rounds on
top of the pot pies, making sure the dough hangs evenly over
each bowl. Brush the dough lightly with the beaten egg. Bake the
pies for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Serve
immediately.
 
Variations:
Pot pies lend themselves to all manner of vegetable additions,
such as diced carrots, fresh corn kernels, diced turnips, sliced
celery, cut-up asparagus spears, or sliced wild mushrooms. Just
add them to the sauté mix and enjoy.
 
Tip:
Double wraps the pot pies in plastic wrap and pop them in the
freezer. The pies will keep frozen for 2 to 3 weeks. When ready
to use, bake them at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes and
dinner is ready.
