Ingredients
-
-
2 cups cooked chicken, diced
-
1 onion, chopped
-
3 red potatoes, diced
-
1 3/4 cups chicken stock
-
1 cup mixed vegetables (I use frozen peas, carrots, corn, and beans)
-
1 teaspoon sage
-
1 teaspoon parsley
-
1 teaspoon celery salt
-
1/2 cup flour (use 1/4 cup for a more soupy casserole)
-
-
2 cups all-purpose flour or 2 cups whole wheat flour
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves or 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
3 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
-
3/4 cup water
-
1/4 cup shortening
Instructions
- For the Base: Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl
- Spread evenly in a 8 x 8 casserole dish
- For the Biscuit Topping:
- Place flour, basil, sugar, baking powder, salt, pepper, and powdered milk into a medium bowl
- Cut shortening into ingredients with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles fine crumbs
- Stir in just enough water so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball
- (Too much liquid will make dough sticky; not enough will make it dry) Place dough onto lightly floured surface
- Knead lightly 20 to 25 times
- Roll or pat 1/2 inch thick
- Spread over filling and brush with egg
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until crust browns and filling bubbles
