Main Course: Upside Down Chicken Pot Pie

Servings: 8 servings

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 30-40 minutes

Ingredients

This recipe tastes like traditional pot pie but it’s made on the stovetop and served with biscuits rather than in a pie crust.

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 8 chicken thighs or drumsticks, skin removed
  • 1 dried bay leaf or 1 teaspoon dried thyme or parsley
  • 2 teaspoons of chicken bouillon powder or 2 chicken stock cubes
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 2 cups frozen mixed peas and carrots
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (canned evaporated milk will make a creamier gravy)
  • 12 biscuits

Directions for Preparation

  1. In a large pot, fry the onion and the chicken together until the onion is softened.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients except the flour, milk and biscuits.
  3. Bring up to a low bowl and cover with a lid. Let cook on a low boil for 30 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile make biscuits from your own recipe.
  5. In a small bowl, slowly add the milk to the flour until it is a smooth paste.
  6. Stirring constantly, add the milk mixture to the pot.
  7. Turn off the heat once sauce has thickened.
  8. Serve in a bowl topped with a biscuit.
