Chicken Pot Pie on a Slab

Chicken Pot Pie on a Slab

Adapted from Eating Well: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipe/269821/slab-chicken-potpie/
Prep Time45 mins
Cook Time30 mins
Total Time1 hr 15 mins
Course: Main Course
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 5 cups unsalted chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, unbleached
  • 1 1/4 lbs boneless, skinless, chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 24-oz package of frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 pkg whole wheat pizza dough
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 handful baby spinach
  • 1 cup sauteed baby bella mushrooms

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Combine broth, miso, bay leaves in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, undisturbed, until reduced to about 4 cups, about 10 minutes. Discard bay leaves.
  • Whisk milk and flour in a small bowl, then whisk into the broth in the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat; cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Stir in chicken. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in mixed vegetables, mushrooms and parsley. Line the bottom of the dish with baby spinach, then pour the mixture onto a large rimmed baking sheet.
  • Spread out pizza dough like you would make a pizza.  Cut your strips as you would like to cover the dish.  I used a fancy pizza cutter.  Brush the top of the dough with egg white. 
  • Bake until the top is browned and the chicken is cooked through, 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Cut to serve.

Notes

I would use a 9 x 13 casserole dish next time, as using a cookie sheet was not deep enough.  If you use a cookie sheet, make sure you place something long enough in the oven below it to catch the drippings if it overflows while cooking.

Ingredients
  1. 2 small golden or green zucchini, diced (11/2 cups)
  2. 1/2 large yellow onion, diced (1 cup)
  3. 1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced (3/4 cup)
  4. 2 medium Japanese eggplants, diced (21/2 cups)
  5. 41/2 tsp. olive oil
  6. 11/2 tsp. minced garlic
  7. 1 tsp. chopped fresh oregano
  8. 1 cup Perfect Roasted Tomatoes
  9. 16 Gaeta olives, pitted and coarsely chopped (3-4 Tbs.)
  10. 1 Tbs. chopped flat-leaf parsley
  11. 2 oz. Fontina or Asiago cheese, grated (1/2 cup)
  12. 3 Tbs. grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss zucchini, onion, bell pepper, eggplants, in large bowl with oil, garlic, and oregano; season with salt and pepper, if desired.
  2. Arrange vegetables on two baking sheets, and roast 20 minutes in oven, rotating pans from top to bottom and flipping vegetables halfway through for even cooking. When vegetables are just tender, transfer to bowl, and set aside to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
  3. Add tomatoes, olives, parsley, and cheeses to roasted vegetables; toss gently; and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
  4. Mound 3/4 cup filling in center of each dough round. Gently fold edges inward, forming 6 to 8 pleats as you move around the dough. Some filling will be visible in center of each tart.
  5. Whisk egg with 2 Tbs. water (or spray with cooking spray). Brush dough tops lightly with egg wash, and transfer tarts to parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 20 to 30 minutes, or until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
Notes
  1. Easy to make if you do not make the dough yourself.

Ingredients
  1. 2 Boneless Pork Chops, 3 oz each
  2. 3 tsp EVOO
  3. 1 Medium Sweet Potato, peeled, and spiralized
  4. 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (divided)
  5. 3-4 cup Chopped Kale
  6. 2 Garlic cloves
  7. Cinnamon, salt, pepper optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Rub each pork chop with 1 teaspoon of the EVOO, then season if you like.
  3. Set a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the last teaspoon of EVOO. Add the pork chops to the skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Transfer the pork chops to the oven (in a roasting pan) until cooked thru. Reserve the juice.
  5. Place another large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil oil and then add in the sweet potato noodles and season with cinnamon. Let cook for 7 minutes or until cooked to your preference. Divide amongst 2 plates.
  6. In that same skillet cook the kale and garlic until your desired preference. I cooked the kale until it was a little crunchy and wilted.
  7. Top each plate with a pork chop and kale and use the reserved pan juice to drizzle over the plates.
