Chicken Pot Pie
Ingredients
- About 3 cups of chicken broth
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Flour and milk to thicken sauce
- 1 tbsp. Black Dog Belly Rub™
- Prepared Bisquick mix or Pillsbury biscuits in the can
- Chopped onion
- Chopped celery
- Sliced carrots or mini carrots
- Peeled diced potatoes
- Frozen peas
- Any other vegetables you like summer squash or zucchini are good, too
Instructions
- Bring the broth to a simmer and poach the chicken breasts for about 20 minutes, then take them out to cool. (I sometimes add seasoning to the broth - use your favorite dried herbs).
- Add the hard veggies first (the ones that take longest to cook - carrots, celery and onions), and add the potatoes after a few minutes.
- Add the peas a few minutes before all the veggies are done (so they don't overcook and turn to mush).
- When the chicken has cooled, chop it into bite size pieces and return to the pot with the veggies.
- Thicken with a flour-milk mixture (like making gravy) and stir until it boils.
- Turn off the heat and assemble the pie.
- In a casserole dish, start with the wet mixture but don't fill it too high.
- Drop the Bisquick biscuits/canned biscuits over the top of the mixture, but not too close, because they will rise and spread.
- Bake in a 400° oven for about 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are slightly browned.
- This re-heats well in the microwave, too.
