Instructions



1. Spray large saucepan with nonstick spray. Add onions and garlic, cooking over medium heat until tender. Add broth, potatoes, carrots, and beans; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover and simmer for 12 minutes. Potatoes should be slightly undercooked. Remove from heat.
   
   
2. In a small bowl, stir together mushroom soup and flour. Add to the vegetables, along with chicken, parsley, and spices; stir well. Pour into a medium casserole dish.
   
   
3. For crust combine flour, baking powder, sage, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk. Form a ball with the dough. More flour can be added if the dough is too sticky. Roll out on a floured surface to fit the top of the casserole. Place dough over chicken mixture and prick several times with a fork. Bake at 400° F for 25 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
