Chicken Biscuit Pie

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart casserole dish.
  2. In a large saucepan
  3. sauté chopped onion in butter. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and milk. Heat to boiling
  4. 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.
  5. In a medium bowl
  6. mix together 2 cups flour
  7. baking powder
  8. and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Stir in milk just until dough is moistened
  9. then drop by spoonfuls onto chicken mixture.
  10. Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes
  11. or until biscuits are golden brown
  12. and cooked on bottom. This tends to bubble over so I place a piece of aluminum foil under the pan to catch drips.
