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