Description
This is a favorite of my family. I double it because I have hungry teenagers! Make your own biscuits or use pre-made refrigerated biscuits.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- ⅔ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 1 cup frozen diced carrots
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken meat
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons shortening
- ¾ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart casserole dish.
- In a large saucepan
- sauté chopped onion in butter. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and milk. Heat to boiling
- stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium and cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Add frozen peas and carrots and cooked chicken. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
- In a medium bowl
- mix together 2 cups flour
- baking powder
- and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Stir in milk just until dough is moistened
- then drop by spoonfuls onto chicken mixture.
- Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes
- or until biscuits are golden brown
- and cooked on bottom. This tends to bubble over so I place a piece of aluminum foil under the pan to catch drips.
