Easy Bisquick & Buttermilk Chicken Pot Pie

Submitted by juniperwoman

"This is heavenly beyond words! And so easy. It's from Kitchen Life, by Art Smith (who happens to be Oprah's private chef). Please note that I've slightly changed the recipe, adding more herbs and spices and more crust, because crust ROCKS. Also, please note that it's easy to simplify the recipe if even a little chopping seems like too much hassle. Simply replace the chicken breasts with already cooked chicken (from a can or from a deli) and, instead of chopping fresh vegetables, throw in some more frozen ones. It'll still be good, I promise!"

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 17
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 29.58 ml vegetable oil
• 3 (510.29 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)
• salt and pepper, to taste
• poultry seasoning, to taste
• onion powder, to taste
• garlic powder, to taste
• 44.37 ml unsalted butter (margarine will work, too)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 celery rib, finely chopped
• 78.78 ml all-purpose flour, plus
• 29.58 ml all-purpose flour
• 283.49 g box frozen mixed vegetables, thawed (find a mix of corn, green beans, and whole baby carrots if you can)
• 709.77 ml reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 236.59 ml half-and-half
• 14.79 ml fresh parsley (fresh or dried)
• 591.47 ml Bisquick
• 236.59 ml buttermilk

directions

1. Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken as you see fit, and add it to the skillet. Cook, stirring quite often, just until it turns opaque and loses its raw look, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
3. Add the butter to the skillet, and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables soften, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mixed vegetables and mix well. Add the broth and half-and-half, and bring to a boil, stirring up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the reserved chicken, thawed mixed vegetables, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Pour into an ungreased 2 1/2 to 3 quart round casserole, or, if you don't have one (like me!), pour into whatever casseroles you have.
5. Mix the Bisquick and buttermilk to make a soft, slightly sticky dough. Drop six large spoonfuls of the dough over the chicken mixture (or, if you're using two casseroles, make eight or nine smaller biscuits).
6. Pop the casserole(s) in the oven, and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown.
7. You're done!

This was very easy to make and really good! A few years ago I was lucky enough to take a cooking class from Art Smith. It was a lot of fun! Today it is raining and cold so this was such a nice comfort dinner. Followed the recipe exactly. Great recipe!

One small change: use fresh carrots that are finely chopped, and use fresh or frozen peas. This is a go-to recipe for us!
