minutesHearty and stick-to-your-ribs satisfying. A 12 ounce bag of mixed vegetables from the freezer works great for a fast, weeknight supper. You can also use any veggies you have available seasonally.
Ingredients
- SKILLET GRAVY
1/4 cup 1/4 Maine Grains Organic Sifted All Purpose Flour
1/4 cup 1/4 butter
1/2 tsp 1/2 of each: sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme & marjoram
2 1/2 cups 2 1/2 milk or bone broth
fresh ground black pepper to taste
- FILLING
1 1 small onion, diced
2 2 celery ribs, diced
2 cups 2 vegetables: diced carrots, peas, corn, pepper etc.
3 cups 3 cooked chicken, cut into bites
- CORNMEAL CREAM BISCUITS
1 1/2 cup 1 1/2 Maine Grains Organic Sifted All Purpose Flour
1/2 cup 1/2 Maine Grains Organic Cornmeal
3 tsp 3 baking powder
1/2 tsp 1/2 sea salt
1 1/2 cups 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup 1 shredded cheese, optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- To prepare gravy, melt butter in a 10″ skillet over medium-low heat, and stir in the flour. Cook a moment or two before adding about half your liquid. Stir to combine.
- Add remaining milk or broth. Cook until the sauce is thick and bubbling. You may need a little more liquid, but keep in mind your vegetables will add moisture.
- Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and mix in the chicken or turkey meat.
- To make biscuits, add flour, cornmeal sea salt and baking powder to a bowl. Stir to combine. Add heavy cream and stir until a stiff but scoopable dough is formed.
- To assemble, transfer the chicken, vegetables, and sauce into a 2-quart baking dish. Using a cookie scoop or spoons, dollop out portions and drop the biscuits on top of the filling. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuits are golden brown and the pie filling is bubbling, 30 to 45 minutes. Rest 10-15 minutes before serving.
