This gorgeous galette takes traditional chicken potpie and gives it a fun open-faced spin. The rich filling and flaky cheddar-flecked crust make it taste so homey. It's lovely for fall and winter dinners, but you can enjoy it anytime.
Ingredient
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1/4 cup ice water
3 tablespoons butter
2 large carrots, sliced
1 celery rib, diced
1 small onion, diced
8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
3 cups julienned Swiss chard
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh oregano
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Direction
Combine flour, cheese, thyme and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Shape into a disk; refrigerate 1 hour.
For filling, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add carrots, celery and onion; cook and stir until slightly softened, 5-7 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook 3 minutes longer. Add Swiss chard and garlic; cook until chard is wilted, 2-3 minutes.
Whisk together broth, flour, salt and pepper; slowly pour over vegetables, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Stir in chicken and oregano.
Preheat oven to 400°. On a floured parchment sheet, roll dough into a 12-in. circle. Transfer to a baking sheet. Spoon filling over crust to within 2 in. of edge. Fold crust edge over filling, pleating as you go, leaving center uncovered. Bake on a lower oven rack until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 30-35 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with parsley.
