    Recipe Introduction


    TOTAL TIME: Prep: 40 min. Bake: 15 min. YIELD:8 servings

    I always have leftover chicken broth on hand and use it for many things, including this comforting family favorite. You can bake your own biscuits, like I do, or buy them at the store. I like to bake extra biscuits to eat with butter and jam.

    List of Ingredients




    Ingredients:

    1/3 cup butter, cubed
    1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
    2 medium carrots, sliced
    1/2 medium onion, chopped
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1 cup chicken broth
    1 cup 2% milk
    4 cups cubed cooked chicken
    1 cup frozen peas
    1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimientos, drained
    1/2 teaspoon salt


    BISCUIT TOPPING:

    2 cups all-purpose flour
    4 teaspoons baking powder
    2 teaspoons sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
    1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
    2/3 cup 2% milk

    Recipe



    Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a large saucepan, heat butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms, carrots and onion; cook and stir until tender.

    2. Stir in flour until blended; gradually stir in broth and milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in chicken, peas, pimientos and salt; heat through. Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish.

    3. For topping, in a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cream of tartar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir just until moistened.

    4. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times. Pat or roll dough to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place over chicken mixture. Bake, uncovered, 15-20 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Yield: 8 servings.
