Lemon Chicken Not-Potpies with Poppy Seed Crust (Rachael Ray)

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (9-inch square), thawed but cold
  • 1 egg, beaten with a little water
  • 2 t. poppy seeds
  • 2 baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • salt
  • 1 c. frozen peas
  • 3 T. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1-1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into pieces
  • pepper
  • 2 leeks-stems splint, thinly sliced and thoroughly rinsed
  • 1 carrot, peeled and shredded
  • 2 T. chopped thyme
  • 2 T. butter
  • 2 T. flour
  • 1/2 c. white wine
  • 1 c. chicken broth
  • 1/2 c. heavy cream
  • grated peel and juice of 1 lemon

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Roll out the puff pastry into a 12-inch square. Set aside four 2-cup bowls; invert 1 bowl onto the pastry and cut out 4 rounds. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and brush with egg. Sprinkle with the poppy seeds and bake until golden, 12 minutes. Let cool.

In a large saucepan, add the potatoes and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, salt the water and cook until tender, 7 minutes. Add the peas and cook for 1 minute; drain.

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons EVOO over medium heat. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook for 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon EVOO to the skillet. Add the leeks and carrot; season with salt, pepper and the thyme. Cook for 3 minutes.

Scoot the leeks to the side and add the butter. Whisk the flour, then the wine and chicken broth. Stir in the chicken and cream and heat through. Stir in the lemon peel, lemon juice, potatoes and peas. Fill the bowls with the chicken mixture and top with the crust.

Shar's Basic Whole Wheat Bread

6 cups warm water, approx. 115 degrees 2 tbs. Sea salt 2/3 cup canola oil 2/3 cup honey 3 tbs. Dough enhancer 2 cups high gluten bread flour or 1/3 cup vital wheat gluten 3 tbs. Saf instant yeast 6 to 8 cups of fresh ground flour (to begin with) (10 to 11 cups of un-ground grain will make enough flour for this recipe) Use the momentary switch (m) to mix well. Turn the machine to speed 1 and continue to add wheat flour only until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. When you can see the sides pull clean as well as the dough coming clean from the bottom of the bowl you know you have enough flour. (do not add too much flour) the dough should be very sticky and does not come together at this point, but the bowl is clean. Knead on speed 1 for 8-10 minutes or until the gluten has been developed. If you feel your dough is too dry, simply add a few tablespoons of water to moisten. (always pulling the sides clean) if dough starts sticking simply add a little white flour to
