Chicken Breast - Meat and Poultry

Chicken Biscuit Pie

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

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart casserole dish.

Step 2

In a large saucepan saute chopped onion in the 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 into prepared casserole dish.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked on the bottom. This tends to bubble over so I place a piece of aluminum foil under the pan to catch the drips.
