Ingredients

For the crust 3 c. all-purpose flour, plus more for surface 1 tsp.

baking powder 1 tsp.

kosher salt 1 c.

unsalted butter, cut into 1/2″ pieces 1/2 c.

ice water (or more, if needed) For the filling 4

boneless skinless chicken breasts (or 3 cups shredded cooked chicken) 1/2 c.

butter, plus more for baking dish

kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper 2

large carrots, peeled and diced 1

medium onion, chopped 3

cloves garlic, minced 3/4 c.

all-purpose flour 3 c.

low-sodium chicken broth 1/4 c.

heavy cream 1 c.

frozen peas 2 tbsp.

freshly chopped parsley 2 tsp.

freshly chopped thyme leaves

Egg wash

Flaky sea salt

Directions

  1. Make dough: Place flour and butter into freezer for 30 minutes before starting crust process. In a large food processor, pulse flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. Add butter and pulse until pea-sized and some slightly larger pieces form. With the machine running, add ice water into feed tube, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough just come together and is moist but not wet and sticky (test by squeezing some with your fingers).
  2. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, form into 2 balls, and flatten into 2 discs (making sure there are no/minimal cracks). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook chicken: Preheat oven to 400°. Grease a large baking dish with butter and grease one side of a large piece of parchment with butter. Season chicken all over with salt and pepper then place in baking dish. Place buttered side of parchment paper over chicken, so that chicken is completely covered. Bake until chicken is cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. Let reset 10 minutes before cutting into cubes.
  4. Meanwhile, start filling: In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and carrots and cook until vegetables are beginning to soften, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic, then stir in flour and cook until the flour mixture is golden and beginning to bubble. Gradually whisk in chicken broth. Bring mixture to a boil and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, cubed chicken, peas, parsley and thyme. Season mixture with salt and pepper.
  5. Assemble pie: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a large round about ¼” thick. Place in a shallow pie dish then add filling. Roll out second disc of dough into a large round about ¼” thick and place on top of filling. Trim and crimp edges, then use a paring knife to create slits on top. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  6. Reduce heat to 375° and bake pie until crust is golden, about 45 minutes. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Peach Upside Down Cake/Recipe

Peach Upside Down Cake

Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar (either light or dark is just fine)
2 large ripe peaches, sliced into about 12 wedges each
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, beaten to blend

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 and spread the softened butter all over the bottom and sides of an 8 inch square baking pan.
Spread the brown sugar over the bottom of the pan, and then put the peach wedges in a single layer across the sugar, covering the full bottom of the pan.
Mix together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.
Mix together the vegetable oil, vanilla, buttermilk and eggs. Pour this egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until well combined. Now pour the batter evenly over your sliced peaches.
Bake for 40 minutes or until cake is set (a toothpick stuck into the center should come out clean).
Let the cake cool for about ten minutes, and then slide a knife around the edges to loosen it. Let it cool completely.
Now! Here comes the exciting part. Place a serving dish over the top of the baking dish and carefully flip it over so the cake comes out peach side up.
Cut into squares, and I won’t tell anyone if you serve it up with some vanilla ice cream on top of each piece!

Easy Shrimp Gazpacho/Recipe

Easy Shrimp Gazpacho

Ingredients
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
2 large tomatoes (heirlooms if you can get ’em), chopped
1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
1/2 sweet onion, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup parsley, plus extra for garnish
1/2 cup olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add shrimp and Old Bay. Simmer until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and cool the shrimp in ice water.
Put tomatoes, cucumber, onion, parsley, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper into a blender and puree until smooth.
At this point you can pop it in the fridge to cool it down, or you can serve it at room temperature. When you are ready to serve it up, divide the soup among bowls, garnish with the shrimp and some chopped parsley, drizzle with a little olive oil and serve!
Notes
I like to get smaller shrimp and put them into the soup whole, but if you prefer larger shrimp you can cut them into bite-sized pieces before adding to the soup for easier eating!
