The smell of herbs and roasted garlic, combined with the succulent flavor of chicken, make this dish an absolute delight. With Pasolivo’s high-quality Olive Oil, Roasted Garlic Sea Salt, and Tuscan Spice Blend, you can make your own delicious homemade Tuscan Chicken Pot Pie. Let’s explore how!
The first step in making this savory pot pie is to prepare your ingredients. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Next, prepare your chicken by seasoning it with a pinch of Pasolivo Roasted Garlic Sea Salt and Tuscan Spice Blend for extra flavor. Then add 1 tablespoon of Pasolivo Rosemary Olive Oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 8 minutes until lightly browned on both sides. Once cooked, set aside the chicken in a bowl while you prepare the vegetables.
For vegetables, dice one onion and one red bell pepper into small pieces. Add these to the same skillet with 2 tablespoons of Pasolivo Rosemary Olive Oil and sauté for 5 minutes until they are soft and fragrant. Now add one cup of mushrooms (optional), 1/2 cup frozen peas (optional) as well as 1/2 cup white wine or stock to deglaze the pan if needed. Cook this mixture for 5 more minutes until all vegetables are cooked through. Once cooked, set aside this vegetable mixture in a bowl alongside the cooked chicken.
Create Your Pot Pie Filling
Now it’s time to make your filling! For this step, you will need 3 tablespoons butter plus 3 tablespoons flour mixed together into a paste-like consistency known as a roux. Heat up a large saucepan over medium heat then add the roux and stir continuously until golden brown in color—this should take about 5 minutes. Once golden brown, slowly whisk in 2 cups milk or cream then bring to a simmer for 15 minutes stirring constantly until thickened slightly—you made need more milk if needed for desired consistency so adjust accordingly if necessary Meanwhile in another large bowl mix together 2 cups cubed potatoes (optional), 1/4 teaspoon black pepper plus 2 teaspoons parsley flakes or fresh chopped parsley leaves along with 1/2 teaspoon Pasolivo Roasted Garlic Sea Salt plus 1/2 teaspoon Tuscan Spice Blend until evenly distributed throughout potato cubes (if using). Lastly once your sauce has thickened slightly fold in your cooked chicken plus vegetable mixture from earlier ensuring everything is evenly distributed throughout sauce then pour entire contents into 9” x 13" baking dish sprayed lightly with non stick cooking spray then top with prepared potato cubes (if using).
