    Degree of difficulty: moderate
    Low-calorie

    1 whole chicken (3 1/2 lbs.)
    4 cups water
    1 tablespoon butter or margarine
    2 cups chopped mushrooms
    1 cup chopped carrots
    1 cup chopped celery
    1/2 cup chopped green onions
    1/4 teaspoon thyme
    1/8 teaspoon sage
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    2 cups chicken broth
    1/4 cup milk
    1 tablespoon white wine
    --------------------
    BISCUITS
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
    1/2 cup buttermilk

    Recipe



    1. Heat chicken and water to boiling in a large Dutch oven; reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Remove chicken from pot to cool; reserve broth.

    2. Meanwhile, heat butter in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Add vegetables, thyme, sage and salt; cook 5 minutes, until tender. Stir in flour. Stir in reserved broth, milk and wine. Bring to a boil and cook 3 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and set aside.

    3. Heat oven to 425 degrees F. When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones and cut into bite-size pieces. Add 3 cups chicken to vegetables (reserve remaining chicken for another use). Pour mixture into a 2 1/2-quart shallow casserole. Keep warm.

    4. Make biscuits: Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk just until dough holds together; do not over mix. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto chicken mixture. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until golden.

    Makes 8 servings.
