About Our Tasty, Hearty Creamy Parmesan Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

Today we will be creating an uber-rich and creamy parmesan chicken pot pie recipe. This recipe fuses traditional chicken parmesan with a pot pie.

So, how do we do this?

To start, you will need to make a pie crust for the top of your pot pie. Traditionally pot pies only have a top crust. But, we know many people like a double-crusted pie.

In that case, you can pre-bake the bottom crust. Add the filling and top crust, then bake the pie again. This will take some experimenting depending on the dough you use.

We’ve provided a super easy pie dough recipe. It is rich, packed with delicious textures, and very quick to make too. You can buy a pie crust if you prefer.

Then, we make a chicken parmesan pot pie filling. The flavors we’ve incorporated into this filling is simple. You have the chicken, the tomato sauce (pasta sauce), and a ton of cheese, especially parmesan cheese.

Now, some people ask us why we don’t add crispy chicken. You definitely can, but when the dish is baking, the crumb becomes soggy in the sauce. So you’re ultimately going to spend a lot of time and effort crumbing the chicken for nothing.

We used basic cheeses for the filling. This is where the creamy texture comes from. Most of the grated cheese geld mixed into the filling. But some if placed on top of the filling to create a cheesy layer.

Once the top crust has been added, you can bake your chicken pot pie and serve it with a simple salad.

chicken parmesan pie

Step by step instructions

Step 1: Make the pot pie crust

Combine all of the crust ingredients in a food processor. Blend until the ingredients form a smooth dough.

Take the dough out of the bowl and shape it on a lightly floured surface. Once shaped into a flat disc, wrap it in plastic and set it aside until you need it later.

Step 2: Brown the chicken

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Season your chicken strips with some sea salt flakes and black pepper.

Add the chicken to the pan and cook it for roughly 5 minutes or until it’s done.

Step 3: Shred the chicken

Once the chicken has been cooked, pull it apart into chunks. You can decide how chunky or fine you want the shredded chicken to be.

Set aside your pulled chicken.

Step 4: Make the pot pie filling

To start, heat some olive oil again in a frying pan. Add the onions and allow them to fry for 3-4 minutes or until they become translucent. Add the garlic and fry it for a minute.

Then, add the green beans, carrots, and corn kernels. Allow them to sweat for a minute or two.

Finally, add the shredded chicken, and pasta sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and allow the filling to simmer for 5 minutes. Stir to prevent the ingredients from burning at the base.

Step 5: Assemble your pot pie

Preheat your oven to 360ºF (180ºC).

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Then, roll it into a disc the size of your pie dish or baking dish. The dough should be roughly 1/6 to 1/4 of an inch thick. Set it aside.

Fill the baking dish or pie dish with your filling. Stir in three-quarters of the cheese. Then, add the rest of the cheese as a topping.

Place your rolled-out crust over the top of the baking dish. Crimp the edges. Cut a steam hole in the top of the crust.

Step 6: Bake your creamy chicken pot pie

Bake the pot pie for roughly 25-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked.

The exact baking time will large depend on the thickness of your crust and size of your baking dish.

Expert Tips And Tricks

  • You can buy a premade sheet of pie dough. Just make sure it’s from a good brand and that it is big enough to fit your baking dish. The baking times and temperatures will also change depending on the package instructions.
  • This recipe doesn’t use a cream sauce for chicken pot pie. But, you can replace the pasta sauce with a white sauce or cheese sauce if you’d like. It won’t create an authentic chicken parmesan flavor, but it will still be delicious.
  • If you don’t want to buy many different types of cheeses, you can simple get a shredded cheese blend. For this creamy parmesan chicken pot pie recipe, an Italian blend will be best.
  • To help get your crust golden brown, brush it with some egg wash or milk. Only do this in the last 10 minutes of baking.

Step by step instructions

Step 1: Brown the chicken

To start, make sure that your chicken is prepared completely. That also goes for the rest of your ingredients.

Add the olive oil to a medium or large saucepan over medium heat. Then, add the diced onions. Allow them to sweat for 5 minutes.

Once they have become translucent, add the diced chicken. Increase the heat and allow the chicken pieces to brown.

Step 2: Finish off the curry base

After they got some color, add the minced garlic, fresh ginger paste, and curry powder. Give them a stir so they coat all of the chicken.

Then, add the bell peppers, pineapple chunks, and tomatoes. Mix the ingredients well.

Next, add the vegetable stock so it almost covers the ingredients.

Step 3: Leave the Hawaiian chicken curry to simmer

Bring the curry to a boil. Then, reduce the heat and allow it to simmer for about 15-20 minutes. The chicken should be tender along with the other vegetables.

Step 4: Finish off the curry

Remove the curry from the heat. Then, stir in the coconut cream. Keep mixing until you have a uniform Hawaii chicken curry recipe.

Finally, season the curry with salt and pepper to your liking. Garnish it with fresh parsley leaves before serving the curry.

Expert Tips And Tricks

  • You can easily make this curry vegan by replacing the chicken with tofu. You can also have a look at this list of vegan alternatives for chicken. Just keep in mind the flavor profile of this curry. The substitute should blend it seamlessly.
  • Traditional chicken curry in Hawaiian style doesn’t contain spicy ingredients. However, it is perfectly fine if you’d like to add some chili to the recipe. We like to add fresh bird’s eye chili or green Thai chili. You can use chili powder or paste as well. The easiest alternative is to simply use a spicier curry powder.
  • Coconut cream is often hard to find. You can use coconut milk instead. But, if you want an uber-creamy substitute, use plain yogurt, heavy whipping cream, creme fraiche, or cream cheese. These are all great alternatives that will help keep the rich thick texture of the curry.
  • When you initially simmer to curry (before adding the coconut cream) the goal is to reduce the liquid (stock). This helps concentrate the flavors and helps create a thicker curry. If you don’t reduce it enough, you will have a very runny curry once you add the coconut cream.
  • Do not boil the coconut cream. Doing so will separate it from the curry base. The curry will still be perfectly edible, but it won’t be visually appealing to look at.
  • Another great addition to this Hawaii chicken curry recipe is coconut flakes. You can use fresh shavings or dried and toasted ones. Toasted coconut shavings add a slightly nutty flavor and it helps give some texture too.
  • This curry can be frozen for several months. It actually keeps really well! Just store it inside an airtight container. Then, wrap the container in a layer of aluminum foil. This will protect it from excess freezer burn, which makes it taste better for longer.

About Our Delicious Italian Chicken Calzone Recipe

Today, we experiment with two of our favorite dishes: chicken parmesan and calzones!

This chicken parm calzone recipe is incredibly easy to make and there are loads of shortcuts.

For one, you can buy premade fresh or frozen pizza dough. Don’t buy actual pizza bases. You need to use “raw” dough and shape it into the disc sizes you want.

Fresh homemade dough is the best to use. And our recipe only takes 10 minutes at the most. But, we understand that sometimes time is of the essence!

You can also buy frozen chicken tenders and simply bake them before you begin assembling this chicken parm calzone recipe. Today, you are even able to find freshly crumbed chicken tenders.

These two shortcuts alone will save you about 20 minutes!

Our chicken parmesan calzones are packed with flavors and crispy, creamy textures.

They can also be made in advance and frozen for later use. Freeze them before they are cooked.

Place them inside an airtight container in a single layer. Cover the container with foil to help protect them from freezer burn.

chicken parmesan calzone

What You Need To Make This Chicken Parm Calzone Recipe

Ingredients for the dough

  • 3 1/3 cups bread flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 sachet (7 grams) fast acting dried yeast
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup water, lukewarm

Ingredients for the crispy chicken

  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into 2/3-inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs

Ingredients for the filling

  • 1 cup premade pizza sauce, plus extra for topping
  • 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowls
  • Deep-fryer, air-fryer, or oven
  • Rolling pin
  • Baking dish
  • Non-stick baking paper

Step by step instructions

Step 1: Make the dough

Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Make sure they are mixed well so the ingredients are evenly distributed. Make a well in the center.

Then, add the olive oil and 3/4 cup of water. Whisk the ingredients together using a fork or spoon. Add more water until your dough has come together.

Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it for a minute or so until it gets smooth.

Leave the dough to rest in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover it with plastic or a damp towel. Set it aside until you need it again.

Step 2: Crumb the chicken tenders

Prepare the chicken breasts and set them aside. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Place the beaten eggs in another separate bowl. Finally, add the Panko breadcrumbs to a final mixing bowl.

Start dipping a slice of chicken into the flour, then the beaten eggs, then the breadcrumbs. Repeat the step once more so the chicken has two coatings.

Set the piece aside. Repeat these steps until all of the chicken has been crumb-coated.

Step 3: Cook the crumbed chicken

For this recipe, you can cook the chicken tenders inside the air-fryer, in the oven, or a deep-fryer.

If you are deep-frying the chicken, it will take between 6-8 minutes. Remember to drain any excess oil on the chicken.

If you want to air-fry the chicken strips, it will also take 7-9 minutes at 360ºF (180ºC).

Inside the oven, your crumbed chicken strips will take between 10-20 minutes at 400ºF (200ºC). The exact time depends on the thickness of your strips.

Once your chicken is cooked and crispy, chop it into smaller pieces.

Step 4: Assemble the chicken calzones

Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Line a baking dish with non-stick baking paper.

Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Then, roll it into a disc that’s roughly 1/6-inch thick.

Spread some pizza sauce over one-half of the disc. Leave a 1/2-inch border around the edge.

Top the pizza sauce with some grated mozzarella, grated parmesan, and chopped crispy chicken tenders.

Fold over the other half of the dough and pinch the sides closed. You can use a little bit of water to help the dough edges stick to each other.

Place your calzones onto a lined baking pan. Repeat the steps until you have 4 uniform calzones.

Step 5: Bake the chicken parmesan calzone

Use a sharp knife to cut three small slits on top of the calzones. Brush the dough with melted butter.

Leave the calzones to bake for about 20-25 minutes. The dough should be golden brown.

Add some more pizza sauce over the calzones and top them with grated mozzarella. Allow them to bake for another 10 minutes.

Expert Tips And Tricks

  • You can divide the pizza dough into however many portions you want.
  • Remember, your chicken parm calzone calories will increase as the portion sizes increase. This isn’t a healthy dish, so you shouldn’t overeat if you are on a diet.
  • The parmesan cheese isn’t replaceable. The mozzarella cheese on the other hand is. You can use any cheese that melts nicely. Mozzarella has the best, most neutral flavor. But you can also try Cotija, Havarti, and cheddar.
  • You can also bake your calzones inside the air-fryer. Preheat the appliance to 400ºF (200ºC). Then, bake the calzones initially for 15-20 minutes. Add the sauce and cheese and continue baking them for another 5 minutes.

    For this recipe, you can cook the chicken tenders inside the air-fryer, in the oven, or a deep-fryer.
    If you are deep-frying the chicken, it will take between 6-8 minutes. Remember to drain any excess oil on the chicken.
    If you want to air-fry the chicken strips, it will also take 7-9 minutes at 360ºF (180ºC).
    Inside the oven, your crumbed chicken strips will take between 10-20 minutes at 400ºF (200ºC). The exact time depends on the thickness of your strips.
    Once your chicken is cooked and crispy, chop it into smaller pieces.
  • Assemble the chicken calzones
    Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Line a baking dish with non-stick baking paper.
    Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Then, roll it into a disc that's roughly 1/6-inch thick.
    Spread some pizza sauce over one-half of the disc. Leave a 1/2-inch border around the edge.
    Top the pizza sauce with some grated mozzarella, grated parmesan, and chopped crispy chicken tenders.
    Fold over the other half of the dough and pinch the sides closed. You can use a little bit of water to help the dough edges stick to each other.
    Place your calzones onto a lined baking pan. Repeat the steps until you have 4 uniform calzones.
    1 cup premade pizza sauce, plus extra for topping, 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese, plus extra for topping, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • Bake the chicken parmesan calzone
    Use a sharp knife to cut three small slits on top of the calzones. Brush the dough with melted butter.
    Leave the calzones to bake for about 20-25 minutes. The dough should be golden brown.
    Add some more pizza sauce over the calzones and top them with grated mozzarella. Allow them to bake for another 10 minutes.
    2 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Notes

You can divide the pizza dough into however many portions you want.
Remember, your chicken parm calzone calories will increase as the portion sizes increase. This isn't a healthy dish, so you shouldn't overeat if you are on a diet.
The parmesan cheese isn't replaceable. The mozzarella cheese on the other hand is. You can use any cheese that melts nicely. Mozzarella has the best, most neutral flavor. But you can also try Cotija, Havarti, and cheddar.
You can also bake your calzones inside the air-fryer. Preheat the appliance to 400ºF (200ºC). Then, bake the calzones initially for 15-20 minutes. Add the sauce and cheese and continue baking them for another 5 minutes.

About Our Delicious Campbell’s Chicken Quesadillas Recipe

The quesadillas we are making today are similar to those on Campbell’s website.

But, we’ve incorporated even more flavor! You can look at our tips section to see how you can make authentic quesadillas. Our recipe makes folded mini quesadillas.

So, what exactly do you need to make this recipe?

To start, this recipe consists of three parts. A saucy Picante chicken filling, Mexican cheese, and flour tortillas.

The saucy chicken element is very versatile and flexible. You can adjust the flavors to your liking. But personally, we love the balance of spiced and savory, meaty flavors.

Make sure that the chicken is infused with a lot of sauce. It shouldn’t be too wet (or the tortillas will become soggy) but it shouldn’t be dry.

The sauce just consists of aromatics, cheddar cheese soup, and a  Picante sauce for chicken quesadillas.

Then, you will also add some grated Mexican cheese. There are loads of options that will work. Any cheese that melts quickly and evenly will work.

You can try Queso Fresco, Queso Anejo, or Cotija. All of these options are relatively easy to find. And they will work incredibly well with the flavor profile we are developing.

And finally, you will need flour tortillas. These work best because you can heat them to make them more pliable. Corn tortillas will work for “traditional” quesadillas, but not for folded ones.

These cuts are also usually flavored with salt and spices. Sometimes, sugar is also added to help create a sweeter flavor profile. And of course, don’t forget that the cooking method you use will also add flavor.

Hot smoking is a technique that can flavor the meat with smokiness while simultaneously cooking it as well.

So, what about our chicken cold cut recipe? Today’s cold cut will be made from chicken breasts. The seasonings we will use are also very basic. This way, you can experiment yourself to create a cut that suits your preferences best.
