Ingredients

Chicken filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 stalk celery sliced
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 large potato cut into small cubes
  • 3 tablespoons butter divided
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables

Dropped biscuits

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Add the celery, onion, potatoes, and 2 tablespoons butter to a large oven safe skillet. Cook until the vegetables are getting tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add one tablespoon of butter and 3 tablespoons of flour to the vegetables. Stir until the butter and flour are blended and it makes a paste.
  • Stir in the cream and the chicken broth.
  • Cook until the cream and chicken broth start to thicken. Add the chicken and the frozen mixed vegetables. Reduce heat and simmer while the biscuits are mixed together.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to a medium bowl and mix together. Add the shortening and cut in until coarse crumbs form. Add the milk and mix until the dough comes together.
  • Drop by heaping teaspoons the biscuits on top of the hot chicken filling. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Serve.

Notes

  1. The cooked chicken can be made the day before or leftover chicken be used.
  2. Do not skip the step for cooking the onions, celery, and onions. This step brings out the flavor of the vegetables. 
  3. The frozen vegetables can be added to the skillet frozen. 
  4. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. I would not recommend freezing leftovers.
  5. For easy reheating use the microwave. Heat until the desired temperature.
