Here is a new recipe for you.
Chicken potpie. Turned out good and we ate every last leftover (which is saying a lot for my family).
Part I: Creamed Chicken
1. Buy a roasted chicken at Jewel (I like the large chicken breast that you can buy). Pull all meat from the bone and place in a bowl.
2. Melt in a large saucepan 4 TBSP butter.
3. Add and whisk until smooth 1/2 cup flour.
4. Cook, whisking constantly for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat.
5. Add 2 cups of chicken broth and whisk until smooth.
6. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups milk.
7. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking constantly. Scrape the inside of the saucepan and whisk vigorously to break up any lumps.
8. Stir in the cooked poultry and cook for 1 minute more.
9. Remove from heat and season to taste with:
>fresh lemon juice
>salt and black pepper
>a pinch of nutmeg
(Congratulations, you just made your first white sauce!)
Part II: The Veggies
1. Heat a large skillet over med-high heat; melt 2 TBSP butter.
2. Add and cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes:
>1 medium onion, chopped
>3 medium carrots, sliced
>2 small celery ribs, sliced
3. Stir the vegetables into the creamed chicken, along with:
>3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
>3 TBSP minced fresh parsley
4. Pour the mixture into a prepared baking dish.
Part III: The Biscuits.
1. Combine in a bowl and whisk together:
>2 cups flour
>2 tsp baking powder
>1/2 tsp baking soda
>1 tsp salt
2. Add all at once:
>2/3 cup buttermilk
>1/3 cup vegetable oil
3. Stir with a fork just until the dough readily leaves the sides of the bowl.
4. Drop walnut-sized dabs of dough from a spoon onto the top of the chicken/vegetable mixture. You could also roll out the dough and make it more like a pie, but I am too lazy and likely to drop the f-bomb.
Bake at 400F on the top 1/3 shelf in the oven for 30-40minutes. Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the topping is golden.
Enjoy!

Ooooh, this looks yummy! I’m going to have to make it for the Granges so they can find out what American biscuits taste like.
