Mini Chicken Pot Pies

Note/Suggestions: To make this dish portable you need an insulated bowl. Scoop the creamy chicken filling into the insulated bowl then top with the biscuit.
Makes 4 servings.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium sized white or yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced or grated
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups frozen assorted vegetables, thawed*
  • 1 14oz cream of mushroom soup (not condensed, or only semi condensed)
  • Four biscuits (recipe to follow)

Directions:

  • In a medium - large pot, sautee the onions, celery and garlic until translucent and fragrant.
  • Add the assorted vegetables and soup and head until boiling.
  • Reduce to a simmer and add the chicken. Bring back to a boil stirring often so that the cream doesn't burn on the bottom.
  • Put one biscuit into a shallow wide mouth insulated bowl and a ladle about a 1-1 1/2 cups of chicken mixture on top. Seal the container while still piping hot.
  • If serving at home. Ladle the chicken mixture into a bowl or large mug and top with biscuit.
Tip:  I like to use the assorted veggies that are peas, carrot, corn, green beans, and lima beans. Like a succatash.

Biscuits:

Note/Suggestions:  You could always buy a nice biscuit in the bakery section of your local grocer.
Bisquick, by far has the easiest semi-homemade solution to making biscits at home. But if you want to make them from scratch here is a good recipe for cheesey biscuit to try. Makes 1 dozen.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole white wheat flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried mustard
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 Tbsp of very cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, monterey jack, swiss-your choice)
  • 2/3 cup cold milk (2% or whole)
  • 1 egg

Directions:

  1. In a measuring cup pour the milk, add the egg and whisk together.
  2. In the bowl of a food processor combine the flours, baking powder, mustard, salt and butter. Pulse until the mixture looks like cornmeal.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of cheese and pulse. While the food processor is running, add the milk-egg mixture. The whole thing should form a ball very quickly.
  4. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and roll out to the dimensions of about 6" x 8" rectangle.
  5. Using a Pizza wheel cutter, cut the dough into 12 equally sized squares, and put onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat.
  6. Brush each biscuit with milk and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Let rest for 15 minutes.
  7. While the biscuits are resting, pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees. Then bake the biscuits for 15 minutes or until well risen and turing golden.
