Chicken Pot Pie With Biscuit Crust


This is a combo of my chicken pot pie filling and my mother in-law's biscuit style crust. They go together fabulously. This is awesome with a double crust, but if you are watching your fat intake, it is also yummy with just a top crust. Also, the homemade gravy is wonderful, but if you have leftover gravy or prefer to use canned or jarred, this is even easier. Enjoy!!

Steps


Crust: this is for just a top crust.
If you would like a top and bottom , double the recipe.
Combine dry ingredients and cut in butter until it resembles small peas.
Add milk all at one and stir just to moisten.
Pour out onto a floured surface and knead about 8 times.
Roll into desired shape , depending if you are using a round or square casserole dish.
If you are making two crusts , make sure you roll the bottom one larger.
Filling: melt butter over low heat in a large saucepan.
Stir in flour , chopped onions , salt and pepper.
Cook until mixture is bubbly , stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and whisk in broth and milk.
Put back over heat and heat to boiling , stirring constantly for a couple minutes , until thickened.
Add chicken and frozen peas and carrots into the mixture and combine.
Remove from heat.
Putting it together: preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Pour chicken mixture into 2 quart casserole.
Lay crust over mixture and press into the inside edges of dish.
