To make this Jambalaya Pot Pie, you will need the following ingredients:
For the filling:
- 1 pound of chicken breast, diced
- 1 pound of andouille sausage, sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the crust:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2/3 cup of shortening
- 6-8 tablespoons of ice water
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, cook the chicken and sausage over medium heat until browned. Add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic and cook until the vegetables are tender. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
While the filling is simmering, make the crust. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
Divide the dough in half and roll out one half to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the filling into the pie dish and top with the remaining crust. Cut slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake the Jambalaya Pot Pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
This Jambalaya Pot Pie is a perfect combination of spicy and savory flavors. The chicken and sausage provide a hearty base, while the vegetables add a fresh crunch. The crust is flaky and buttery, making it the perfect complement to the filling. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
