Crustless Chicken Pot Pie w/Cheesy Biscuit Topping

-
As promised I took pictures of my meal preparations yesterday. This is a fairly simple recipe to put together. I served it with a tossed green salad and watermelon.
 

Crustless Chicken Pot Pie w/Cheesy Biscuit Topping
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup chopped green pepper (I used several mini peppers)
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 ½ to 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken, cut into bite size pieces
4T olive oil
½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
4 cups broth – this can be homemade chicken, beef or vegetable broth. If you don’t have homemade broth you can substitute 4 cups of water and 2 to 3 bouillon cubes.
2 cans green beans, drained or 1 quart home canned green beans, drained
1 recipe cheesy buttermilk biscuits (recipe follows)
1+ cups grated cheddar cheese

In a large frying pan over medium high heat sauté veggies and chicken in olive oil until veggies are soft and chicken is cooked.


Add the flour and stir.


Add broth all at once and stir to make sure there are no lumps in the flour.


Bring to a boil and let it cook for about 3 minutes or until the mixture is thick and bubbly. Add the green beans..





Pour this into a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.




Set this aside and make cheesy biscuits...


Cut out biscuits and arrange them over the top of the chicken/gravy mixture.


Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top ...


Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until top of casserole is lightly browned and biscuits are done.






Cheesy Buttermilk Biscuits
2 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
¼ cup butter
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 egg
¾ cup buttermilk

Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt. With your clean hands, combine butter into flour mixture until crumbly like cornmeal. Stir in cheddar cheese. Blend egg and milk together. Add to flour/butter mixture. Mix until combined and knead until dough is soft and workable. Be cautious not to over-knead. On a lightly flour-dusted counter top, pat dough until it is approx ¾ to 1 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or drinking glass dipped in flour, cut dough into circles and put on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Arrange on top of beef pot pie. If baking these by themselves, bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

Enjoy!! :)

    MMmmm! That looks really good and one of my favorite meals too! I've made a similar dish from the Barefoot Contessa cookbook, but yours looks much healthier! I am going to try it this week! Thanks!

Canning Chicken Noodle-less Soup

Today was one of those busy days that it seemed I was moving from the time my feet hit the floor until this evening.. But, I got so much done and that is a great feeling! :) One of my accomplishments today was canning 14 jars of chicken noodle-less soup. I call it “noodle-less” because you can’t can noodles. They end up falling apart. So I canned the chicken, veggies and broth. When I go to use the soup I will bring it to a boil and then add a handful of noodles (any type of pasta will work) and cook it until the noodles are done. Because I plan to add the pasta after the fact I wanted to make sure there was enough chicken broth to do this. So I only filled my jars about half to two thirds with chicken and veggies and then filled with chicken broth. Here is how I did this…. I started off with 2 chickens that were a total weight of about 10lbs. I put them in my 14 quart stock pot… I then added 2 gallons of water.. And 3 tablespoons salt.. I brought this ...

Canning Cabbage

I had 4 large heads of cabbage that weighted about 25 pounds. We had some really hot days and I figured I better get the last of them picked soon. My daughter Sierra and I ended up processing 3 of them yesterday and I have one left for a meal on my menu this week. I made pickled cabbage and then canned up the last of the cabbage. Here is the recipe for the pickled cabbage (according to how I made it)… 8 pounds cabbage 1 large onion 1 ½ red peppers 1 lb carrots ¾ cup salt 9 cups water 12 cups white vinegar 10 cups sugar 1t mustard seed 1t celery seed Slice cabbage thinly. Slice onion and peppers. Grate carrots. Mix all veggies together in a very large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix in well. Let sit for 2 hours to soften veggies. Rinse veggies well.  In a large stock pot (mine was 14 quarts) combine water, vinegar, sugar, spices. Bring to a boil. Add cabbage/veggies. Bring to a boil. Fill hot pint jars with veggies using a slotted spoon. Fill jar with brine...

Canning Beef Stew

In my last blog post I shared that I had bought 10 pounds of beef roast. I cut it all up and used 4 pounds in 2 crockpot freezer meals ( http://homesteadinghomemaker.blogspot.com/2012/02/two-more-crockpot-meals-for-freezer.html ) . I used the other 6 pounds of meat along with potatoes, carrots, onions and celery to can beef stew. Here were the general proportions I used in canning 7 quarts of beef stew.. 6# beef 2# potatoes 2# carrots 1# onions 1# celery After I cut up the meat and got the freezer meals done I moved to the beef stew. I peeled and cut up the potatoes and carrots. I chopped up the onions and sliced the celery. I pulled out 3 quarts of veggie stock from my freezer to use for liquid in the stew. You can use beef or chicken stock or you can use water. I did not add anything to thicken the liquid as usually thickeners don’t hold up in canning. You can thicken the broth after it is opened if you would like. I added 1 teaspoon salt to each of my ...
