Chicken Pot Pie

Roughly based on Eating Well recipe with a rue based on Condensed Soup recipe then topped with Garlic Biscuits.

Chicken Pot Pie

Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch or smaller cubes
  • 1 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 10- or 12-ounce bag frozen mixed vegetables (2-2 1/2 cups), thawed
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • salt and pepper 
  • 1 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1¼ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup freshly grated cheddar cheese (sharp or mild, or a combination)
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • ½ cup milk
  •  ¼ cup finely chopped green onion

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, stirring often, until it turns white, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil, green onions and garlic, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in vegetables; cook, stirring occasionally, until hot, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove to plate.
  3. Melt butter in skillet. Add flour stirring constantly. Slowly pour in broth, followed by milk, whisk frequently and bring to a boil. Add seasonings. Cook and whisk until thickened, about 8 minutes. Add the chicken and veggies back into pot and stir thoroughly until warm.
  4. In a medium sized bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Use a fork to stir in the grated cheese.
  5. Mix in the melted butter and milk until well combined, but not over-mixed.
  6. Put the chicken and veggie mixture into a large casserole dish. Then drop heaping spoonfuls of the mixture on top. 
  7. Bake for 20 minutes or until biscuits are cooked through.
