CHICKEN AND BISCUIT POT PIE
Steps:
- To make the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a large shallow casserole dish, or 6 individual casserole dishes with cooking spray.
- Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chicken with its juices to a bowl.
- Add 2 more teaspoons of oil to the same pan and heat it over a medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the green beans, garlic and remaining salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the milk. Stir the flour into the broth until it is completely dissolved and add to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 2 minutes more. Return the chicken with its juices back to the pan. Add the peas and thyme and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the mixture into the baking dish or individual dishes.
- To make the crust: Put the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse about 12 times, or until pebble sized pieces are formed. Add the buttermilk then oil to the food processor and pulse until just moistened. Do not over mix.
- Drop the batter in 6 mounds on top of the chicken mixture (1 mound on each individual dish, if using) spreading the batter out slightly. Bake until filling is bubbling and the biscuit topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your pot pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peas, and corn.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough. A thin sauce will make your pot pie soupy. If your sauce is too thin, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) and cook until thickened.
- Use a good quality biscuit mix. This will make your biscuit topping light and fluffy. If you don't have biscuit mix, you can make your own using flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and butter.
- Bake the pot pie until the biscuit topping is golden brown. This will ensure that the topping is cooked through and delicious.
Conclusion:
Chicken pot pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own tastes. With a few simple tips, you can make a chicken pot pie that is sure to impress your family and friends.
