Skillet Tomato Cheddar Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients

• 3 oz prosciutto (optional)

• 4 tbsp salted butter or olive oil

• 1 yellow onion, chopped

• 3 clove garlic, chopped

• 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

• 1 tsp paprika

• ¼ tsp cayenne

• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour

• 2 cups broth

• 4 cups cherry tomatoes

• salt and black pepper

• 2 cups whole milk

• 2 cups shredded chicken

• 1 cup fresh basil leaves

• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

• 1 egg yolk

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400° F.

2. Cook the prosciutto with 1 tablespoon butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crispy. Pull the prosciutto out and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, melt together 2 tablespoons butter with the onion, garlic, thyme, paprika, and cayenne, cooking until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and cook until golden, 2 minutes.

4. Add the tomatoes, then gradually whisk in the broth until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium. Cook uncovered until the tomatoes begin to burst, about 10 minutes.

5. Mix in the milk. Let cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Mix in the chicken, basil, and cheese. Remove from the heat. Top the chicken with the reserved prosciutto.

6. Roll the pastry out into a slightly larger square to fit your skillet. Mix the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water, then brush the pastry all over with the beaten yolk. Lay the pastry over the chicken filling, tucking in the sides as needed. Bake until the pastry is deeply golden, about 30 minutes.

7. Top the pie with sea salt, then break into it and enjoy! #skilletchickenpotpie #fyp #foodie #growyourownfood
