Chicken Pie

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This recipe makes a fine sauce, the amount of flour in it makes the filling slightly poolish, if you really desire a tight sauce, add up to 1/4 cup more flour. I am currently developing a two crusted pie, but this works.

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Make the Pastry: Stir Together the Flour, and Salt, and Sugar, If Using. Add the Shortening and Cut Inches Stir in the Water, and Make a Paste, Adding a Few More Drops If Nessecary to Form a Cohesive Dough. Gather in Plastic Wrap, Tightening, and Forming Into a Loose Rectangular Shape, Then Allow to Chill.

    2
    Done

    Poach the Chicken, Follow the Rules Carefully, Lest They Burn.

    3
    Done

    Wash to Clean the Chicken, Removing Any Innards, Set Aside For Another Use. Tie the Legs Together With String. Put the Chicken Into a Spaghetti Pot, Adding the Prepared Broth, the Vegetables, the Seasonings, Including All the Salt, and Enough Waster to Almost Cover the Chicken.

    4
    Done

    Bring to a Furious Boil, Then Turn Down the Heat to Low or Medium Low, However It Will Simmer Delicately, and Cook For About 40 Minutes, the Leg Joint Should Just Wiggle a Little Bit, but the Hen Should not Nessecarily Be Done. Turn Off the Heat, Transfer the Stockpot to a Side of the Kitchen, Lid Half Ajar, and Let the Chicken Cool Gently, For at Least an Hour, While Other Things Get Done, Do not Remove the Chicken from the Broth, Until Ready to Proceed.

    5
    Done

    Make the Sauce: Working Over Medium Heat, Put the Bacon Slices, and 1 Tablespoon Oil Into a 12-Inch Saut Pan. Cook and Stir the Bacon Until It Is Done, There Should not Be Any Fat Left, It Should Look Crisp. Remove to a Plate, Leave Fat in Pan, and Deglaze the Mixture With One or Two Tablespoons of Water.

    6
    Done

    Add the Sliced Green Onions, the Shallots, and a Pinch of Salt. Cook Gently, Until Tender but not Brown, It Is Okay to Get the S Little Brown, If You Want, but Unnecessary.

    7
    Done

    Measure and Stir in the Flour, Cook the Roux Gently, Adding More of the Reserved Oil, If Nessecary to Make a Smooth Paste, It Will not Require a Lot, but It Will Probably Require Some. Turn the Heat Down to Low, or Remove the Pan from Heat.

    8
    Done

    With a Carving Fork, or Tong, Remove the Chicken to a Plate, and Set Aside. Gather a 1-Cup Measure, and a Small, Fine Sieve, and Also a Whip.

    9
    Done

    Return Pan to Heat, Increase Heat. Add 5 Cups of the Broth Through the Strainer. Work in Batches If It Feels Necessary, I Usually Add All of the Broth, Before Whisking and Brining to the Boil, Whisking All the Time, but If You Have Fear, of These Types of Sauces, One or Two Cups, at the Time Can Be Added. Remove the Mixture from the Heat and Set Aside, Salt Can Be Added Later.

    10
    Done

    Detach the Legs (thighs) from the Body of the Chicken. I Like Two Peel the Chicken in the Stages, It's Neater, and Makes Less Likely, That Anything Stray Will Suffer the Pot. First, Pull All of the Skin from the Chicken and Discard, Detaching the Wings (with a Steak Knife, If Nessecary), from the Breasts, and Pulling Off Any Pieces of Gristle or Bone, Take Off All of the Rib Pieces Too, and Throw All of That Away, or Transfer to a Separate Pile.

    11
    Done

    Pull the Breasts from the Body, Find the Tender, and Detach It, Taking Away the Thin White Membrane That Surrounds It. Chop Off the Piece of Connective Gristle That Hangs from the Top of the Breast, Sometimes, Also, I Tear Off the Very Hard, Tip End, to Make Way For Smoother Meat. Set the Breast Aside, Discarding Any Refuse.

    12
    Done

    Pull Off All of the Thigh Meat in Batches, Discarding All of the Pieces of Lumpy Fat, That Surround the Different Lobes. the Leg Meat Will Be Very Tender and Flavorful, and I Often Leave It in Bigger Pieces, but Chop as Desired.

    13
    Done

    Chop the Tenders, Then Slice the Breast Into Two, Slice the Larger Half Into Three, and Chop, the Smaller, Into Two, and Chop Likewise.

    14
    Done

    Put All of the Meat Into the Pot of Sauce, Stirring. the Breast and Thigh Meat Provides More Than Enough Protein to Fill the Prepared Dish, and I Rarely Pick the Meat from the Drumsticks or Wings, Just Chill the and Use For a Mayonnaise Sandwich, Use Them If You Wish.

    15
    Done

    Add the Frozen Peas, to the Pot, Stir, Set Aside.
