Photo: Vermont Chicken Pie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 quart chicken stock, available on soup aisle
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders, 2 packages
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 ribs celery, diced
- 6 white mushrooms, quartered
- 1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/3 palm full
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Handful flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 package refrigerated biscuits in tube, found on dairy aisle
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Reserve 2 cups of stock for vegetables. Cut tenders into 1/3's. Bring remaining stock to a boil in skillet, add chicken, cover and reduce heat to simmer. Poach chicken 6 to 8 minutes.
While chicken cooks, in a second large skillet over medium to medium high heat, add oil and butter. To melted butter, add onion, carrots, celery, and mushrooms, adding veggies to the pan as you chop them. Add bay leaf and season veggies with thyme, salt and pepper. Saute 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add flour and cook another minute. Whisk in reserved 2 cups of stock forming a sauce around veggies. Stir in cooked chicken pieces, parsley and peas. Transfer the mixture to a large casserole, oval or rectangular. Open the biscuits and arrange them, edges touching, in a layer across the top of the casserole. Bake 8 to 10 minutes until biscuits are golden brown, then serve.

This was a bland dish, even after I added garlic and potato based on reading other reviews. The sauce had little flavor and did not thicken up much. Also the carrots were not softened enough for our liking. I will not be making this one again.

OMG!!!!! Thank you Rachael for sharing this recipe....my boyfriend loved it!!!! He went for seconds, and when I put the dish away in the refrigerator, he got some more!!!! This was an easy dish to follow and make. Of course, I had to some adjustments to make the dish just a little bit more thicker, I added some half n half (for some reason, it wasn't getting thick enough. When poaching the chicken, I added some celery and chopped tomatoes to the chicken stock and used that stock for the vegetables!!! As for plating, I took the biscuits and turned them upside down on the plate, then added the vegetables over the biscuits. Yummy!!!

THis was a great and easy dish! I only gave it 4 stars though because I added a few more ingredients and think maybe it would be a little bland with just the few things mentioned! I added corn and potatoes. It was really good! I made a meatless version for my husband (he dont eat meat and he really liked it as well!
