BEST Chicken Pot Pie

BEST Chicken Pot Pie

Parts and pieces:

Regarding the Filling

  1. 450 grams (one pound) of cooked chicken,
  2. either shredded or cubed (rotisserie chicken is an excellent option).
  3. half a cup of carrots, diced
  4. You can use either fresh or frozen peas.
  5. half a cup of chopped celery
  6. two-half cups of chopped onion
  7. 3 garlic cloves, minced cloves
  8. one-fourth cup of all-purpose dough
  9. 2 cups of fresh chicken broth
  10. 1 cup of milk or heavy cream 1 cup
  11. 1 milligram of dried thyme
  12. Dried rosemary, one teaspoon
  13. To taste, season with salt and pepper
  14. 2 tablespoons of butter or olive oil

To the Crust, I say:

  1. 1 packet of pie crusts that have been refrigerated (or homemade pie crusts, if you prefer)
  2. (for the egg wash) one egg

Details to follow:

First, preheat the oven.

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).

Put together the filling by:

  • Olive oil or butter should be heated in a big skillet over a medium heating source. Garlic, carrots, celery, and chopped onion should be added at this point. Within five to seven minutes, sauté the vegetables until they have become more tender.
  • In order to coat the vegetables, sprinkle the flour over them and mix them. Keep cooking for one to two minutes to get rid of the taste of raw flour.
  • Stir the ingredients while gradually adding the chicken broth until it reaches the desired consistency. Heavy cream, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper should be added at this point. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chicken and peas that have been cooked.

To put together the pie:

  • Roll out one pie crust and place it in a pie dish that is 9 inches in diameter. Fill the crust with the chicken filling and set it aside.
  • After the second pie crust has been rolled out, it should be placed on top of the filling. Using your fingers or a fork, crimp the edges to ensure that they are sealed. Several slits should be cut into the top crust in order to enable steam to escape.

To wash eggs:

  • A golden finish can be achieved by beating the egg and then brushing it over the top crust.

Baking:

  • For thirty to thirty-five minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, bake the pie in an oven that has been prepared.

Provide:

  • Before slicing the pot pie, you should wait a few minutes for it to cool down. Have fun while it’s still warm!

Not only is this Chicken Pot Pie ideal for winter evenings, but it is also certain to become a favorite among the family itself. Have fun with your cooking!

Cheesy Potato Balls

Cheesy Potato Balls

Components:

  1. Two cups of mashed potatoes, or roughly three large ones
  2. One cup of shredded cheese, either mozzarella or cheddar, or to taste
  3. 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
  4. 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions or chives
  5. half a teaspoon of powdered garlic
  6. Half a teaspoon of powdered onion
  7. To taste, add salt and pepper.
  8. One cup of normal or panko breadcrumbs
  9. one or two beaten eggs (for binding)
  10. Canola or vegetable oil for frying

Guidelines:

Get the mashed potatoes ready by:

  • If you don’t have any left over mashed potatoes, boil them, then mash them with salt, pepper, and any other seasoning you like. Allow the mashed potatoes to cool down a bit.

Blend the Filling:

  • The mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions (if used), onion and garlic powders, salt, and pepper should all be combined in a big bowl. Blend until thoroughly blended.

Create the Balls:

  • Roll a tiny bit of the mixture into a ball that is between one and one and a half to two inches in diameter. Continue until the entire concoction is consumed.

Cover the Balls:

  • Assemble a breading station by setting up two bowls: one for the beaten eggs and the other for breadcrumbs. After dipping each potato ball into the egg and letting any excess drop off, cover it with bread crumbs.

Cook the balls of potatoes:

  • Heat the oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat, or roughly 350°F/175°C. Add the potato balls carefully in batches and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Using a slotted spoon, remove them and set them on a dish covered with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.

Serve:

  • Warm up and pair with your preferred dipping sauce, like sour cream, ranch, or marinara.

Advice:

  • Think about adding cooked bacon or gammon to the potato mixture for some extra flavour.
  • If you would rather go with a healthier option, you can bake them for about 20 to 25 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Just give them a little oil spray before baking.

Baked Potato recipe

Baked Potato recipe

Components:

  1. Four medium-sized russet potatoes
  2. Extra virgin olive oil
  3. Sea salt that is coarse (or ordinary salt)

Guidelines:

Warm up the oven:

  • Set the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).

Get the potatoes ready:

  • To get rid of any dirt, scrub the potatoes under cold water. Take a cloth and pat them dry.
  • To let steam out, feel free to puncture each potato several times with a fork. For skin that is crispier, you can also rub them with a little olive oil.

The season

  • Make sure the potatoes are well coated by generously dusting them with coarse sea salt.

Cook:

  • Either place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or—for easy cleanup—on a foil-lined baking sheet. Depending on how big your potatoes are, bake them for 45 to 60 minutes. When the skin is crispy and the flesh can be readily pierced with a fork, they are done.

Serve:

  • After baking, take the potatoes out of the oven and give them a little time to cool. Using a fork, cut them open and fluff the insides. Top with your preferred ingredients, such as cheese, sour cream, butter, bacon pieces, chives, or whatever else you like!

Advice:

  • If you’re in a hurry, you may microwave the potatoes for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on their size. Afterward, you can bake them to get a crispier skin.
  • For variation, try using other toppings or seasonings!

Tapioca

Tapioca

Components

  1. Half a cup of tiny tapioca pearls
  2. Two cups of milk, or any kind of nondairy milk
  3. Half a cup sugar, or to taste
  4. 1/4 tsp salt
  5. One tsp vanilla essence
  6. Two eggs (more for a more decadent custard)

Guidelines

Let the tapioca soak.

  • Soak the tapioca pearls in water for approximately half an hour in a bowl, and then remove them.

Prepare the tapioca:

  • Put the soaked tapioca, milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Stir continuously and cook over medium heat until the sauce starts to thicken and the tapioca pearls turn translucent, which should take around 15 to 20 minutes.

Add Eggs (Required):

  • Beat the eggs in a different bowl if you plan to use them. To temper the eggs, slowly whisk in a little amount of the hot tapioca mixture and return the mixture to the pot. Simmer for a further two to three minutes.

Taste and Present:

  • After taking off the heat, whisk in the vanilla essence. It will thicken even more if you let it cool somewhat before serving. Serve hot or cold.

Advice

  • Flavour Variations: To give the milk a tropical twist, add coconut milk or add spices like nutmeg or cinnamon.
  • Garnish with almonds, fresh fruit, or a honey drizzle for extra flavour.
  • Storage: For up to several days, keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Please let me know if you would want any additional details or other tapioca-based recipes!
