Ingredients

1 1/2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 cup carrots, chopped in 1/2-inch chunks

1 onion, chopped

3 stalks of celery, chopped

1/3 cup butter

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups chicken broth(from cooking chicken, or use store bought)

1 1/2 cups milk

4 chicken thighs

1 cup frozen peas, defrosted

1 tsp. chicken seasoning

salt and pepper to taste

FOR THE BISCUIT TOPPING:

2 cups all-purpose flour

4 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup shortening (can sub with butter)

2/3 cup milk

Directions

In a medium saucepot bring water to boil. Add 1 tsp. salt to the boiling water. Cook chicken thighs in the boiling water until no longer pink inside. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of broth. Cool chicken until easy to handle. Strip the meat off the bones, set aside. Discard skin and bones.

In a large pan saute mushrooms, carrots, onion and celery in butter until tender.

Sprinkle with flour. Stir in broth and milk. Cook and stir until blended. Bring to a boil. Keep cooking and stirring until thickened, for about 2 more minutes.

Add the chicken, peas, 1 tsp. of chicken seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. Heat through. Pour into a shallow, greased 2 1/2 qt. baking dish, set aside.

FOR THE BISCUIT TOPPING:

In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk, just until moistened.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead about 10 times. Pat or roll out to a 1/2 inch thickness. Cut in circles with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter, dipped in flour.

Place biscuits in rows over chicken mixture.

Bake, uncovered, at 400F oven for about 20 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown. Serve warm.

Using biscuits instead of a crust? What a wonderfully glorious idea you have here, julia! I normally use biscuits over pie filling as a crust but this is such a great idea! I will be making this soon. My 255 goes out to you, julia! Thank you!

You did it again, Juels - love the "from scratch" biscuit topping, too. The pie filling ingredients are the perfect match. This is definitely a meal for the cold weather we are experiencing "up north". I must try to put this together for us while the timing is perfect! Thank you, thank you, thank you...Krum

Another winner from you Julia. This sounds & looks sooo good. For single folk like me I think this would work real well made as individual pies too. 5 forks +++++
