Serves:
4 servings
Ingredients
For the crust:
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 to 2 tablespoons cold water
For the filling:
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 2 ribs celery, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 large or 2 small carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- Kosher salt
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
- 3 pounds skinless chicken legs and thighs
- 4 cups rich chicken stock, (homemade or I use Gluten Free Pacific stocks from HEB or Whole Foods)
- 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 1/2 cups 1/2-inch pieces haricots verts or fresh green beans (I
buy the ones in the bag and microwave a few minutes and then cut them
up. And recently instead of the beans, I used organic fresh spinach)
- 6 sage leaves, finely chopped (I've also used fresh Rosemary and Thyme from my garden, I cut off some stems and tie them and place in the pot with the veggies and chicken and scoop it out after they are done).
- 4 TBS Grass Fed Butter
- 4 TBS Gluten Free all purpose flour
-
- 1 pasture egg beaten with 2 tablespoons of water, for egg wash
Directions
To make the
crust: In the bowl of a
food processor, combine the butter, cream cheese, flour and salt.
Pulse to combine. Pulse, pulse, pulse until the ingredients start to come together and resembles
Parmesan.
Add the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water. Pulse a couple of more
times until the ingredients start to form a ball. If the mixture is
exceedingly wet, add some more flour. Or conversely, if the mix is dry,
dry, dry, add in a few more drops of water.
When the mixture has come together into a ball, turn it out onto a floured work surface and
knead it a couple of times to help it come together. Dust it with flour, form it into a disk and wrap it in
plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use. This can be done a day ahead.
Cook's Note: When ready to use the dough, remove it from the
refrigerator about 20 minutes before rolling, to allow it to warm up and
soften.
To make the filling:
Coat the bottom of a stock pot lightly with olive oil put over medium heat. Add the
onions,
celery and the
carrots
and sprinkle with salt, to taste. Saute the vegetables for 7 to 8
minutes. Add the garlic and sweat for another 2 to 3 minutes. Season
with salt, then add the chicken and the chicken stock. If the stock
doesn't cover the chicken, add water until it does. Bring the stock to a
boil, over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
While the chicken is simmering, add the butternut squash to a large bowl,
drizzle with some olive oil and add salt, to taste. Toss to coat the squash with the oil and transfer to a baking sheet.
Roast until the squash is cooked but still has some texture, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and reserve.
Remove the chicken and vegetables from the stock and put into a large
bowl. Reserve the stock. When the cool enough to handle, remove the
bones from the chicken and stir into the vegetables. Add the roasted
squash to the chicken and vegetables. Stir to combine and season with
salt, if needed. Stir in the haricots verts and the chopped
sage.
Melt the butter in a large
saucepan over low heat. Add the flour and stir to combine with melted butter. Cook stirring frequently until the mixture is the consistency of wet sand
and is starting to turn a little beige, about 6 to 7 minutes. Gradually
whisk in the reserved chicken stock. Taste and adjust seasoning, if
needed. When the stock is combined into the
roux, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and
simmer until it has a gravy-like consistency, about 20 to 25 minutes. If the gravy reduces too much and becomes too thick,
whisk in a little more
chicken stock or water.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Add the chicken mixture into a 2-quart
casserole dish or 4 individual (2 cup) crocks. Ladle the "
gravy" over the chicken mixture until the dish(s) are 3/4 filled.
Dust
a clean work surface with flour and roll the dough into the shape of
the casserole dish or large enough to cut circles to cover the
individual casserole dishes. Whichever dishes are being used the dough
needs to have generous overhang of dough on the edges of the dish. Brush
the outside edges of the dish with a little of the egg wash to help
"glue" the dough to sides of the dish. Fold the edges of the dough under
and press it onto the edges of the dish. Brush the top of the dough
with the remaining
egg wash. Cut a couple of vents in the top of the
dough to allow the steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven until the dough is golden brown and the
inside is hot and bubbly, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven
and serve hot.

This
muffin batter comes out more like scone dough. I baked them in my
Pampered Chef nonstick brownie pan so they come out in little squares! Sprayed the pan with a bit of Olive
Oil cooking spray.
This
broccoli cheese soup will warm you up on a cold day and comes out
incredibly delicious! Even better than the cheese soup at Panera Bread
and cost less! I used Almond Milk to cut down on some of the dairy..
and added some crispy gluten free croutons on top! Quick and easy week
night meal! 
This
dish taste just like chicken Enchiladas only with rice pasta! Great for
those who may be eliminating Corn from their diet. So good too that I
decided to make them for our Life Group pot luck tonight!
