Chicken and Peach Flatbreads

Premade pizza crusts are a lifesaver for the busy weeknight cook. Here they provide a filling base for these outside-the-box pizzas. To make your own balsamic glaze, simmer down 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes.

Ingredients:

1 (12-oz.) pkg. of 3 (7-inch) prebaked pizza crusts (such as Mama Marys)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 ounces whole-milk ricotta cheese (about 3 Tbsp.)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups shredded skinless rotisserie chicken breast (about 6 oz.)
1 cup sliced peaches
1/4 cup thinly sliced sweet cherry peppers (such as Mezzetta; about 1 oz.)
1 1/2 ounces whole-milk mozzarella cheese, torn into small pieces
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon bottled balsamic glaze Fresh basil leaves

How to Make It:

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 425°F. Brush both sides of crusts evenly with oil, and place on a baking sheet. Combine ricotta, garlic, lemon zest, and black pepper in a small bowl; spread mixture evenly over 1 side of each crust.

Step 2:

Top ricotta mixture evenly with shredded chicken, peach slices, cherry pepper slices, and torn mozzarella. Bake until edges of crusts are crisp and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle evenly with salt and crushed red pepper. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, and sprinkle with basil leaves.

Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie

Ingredients:

3 whole (6 split) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin-on

3 tablespoons olive oil

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

5 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade

2 chicken bouillon cubes

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter

2 cups yellow onions, chopped (2 onions)

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup heavy cream

2 cups medium-diced carrots, blanched for 2 minutes

1 (10-ounce) package frozen peas (2 cups)

1 1/2 cups frozen small whole onions

1/2 cup minced fresh parsley leaves

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove the meat from the bones and discard the skin. Cut the chicken into large dice. You will have 4 to 6 cups of cubed chicken.
  3. In a small saucepan, heat the chicken stock and dissolve the bouillon cubes in the stock. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and saute the onions over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until translucent. Add the flour and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the hot chicken stock to the sauce. Simmer over low heat for 1 more minute, stirring, until thick. Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and heavy cream. Add the cubed chicken, carrots, peas, onions and parsley. Mix well.
  4. For the pastry, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add the shortening and butter and mix quickly with your fingers until each piece is coated with flour. Pulse 10 times, or until the fat is the size of peas. With the motor running, add the ice water; process only enough to moisten the dough and have it just come together. Dump the dough out onto a floured board and knead quickly into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  6. Divide the filling equally among 4 ovenproof bowls. Divide the dough into quarters and roll each piece into an 8-inch circle. Brush the outside edges of each bowl with the egg wash, then place the dough on top. Trim the circle to 1/2-inch larger than the top of the bowl. Crimp the dough to fold over the side, pressing it to make it stick. Brush the dough with egg wash and make 3 slits in the top. Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.
