Ingredients

Filling Ingredients:

  • 5 small red or yellow baby potatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 6- oz of cremini or button mushrooms sliced
  • 1 carrot peeled and diced
  • 1 celery stalk diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 4½ cups of chicken broth
  • 1 cup of whole milk or heavy cream
  • ½ cup frozen sweet corn thawed

Biscuits:

  • 2 cups of flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp sugar
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup of whole milk
  • 2 tbsp butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large 9x13-inch baking dish with olive cooking spray.
  • Cook the potatoes in a large saucepan of well-salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 5-7 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat, drain, and cool. Once cool, dice into small chunks.
  • Cook the vegetables by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, carrots, and celery, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, or until slightly tender.
  • Add garlic and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 45 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Make the filling by heating the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 7-10 minutes, until thickened.
  • Add sauteed vegetables, corn, peas, potatoes, and chicken to the mixture and stir; season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour into the baking dish.
  • Make the biscuits by combining the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and garlic powder until mixed thoroughly.
  • Stir in milk and melted butter just until the flour mixture is moistened.
  • Drop biscuit topping onto the hot mixture in the baking dish to form 16 small biscuits.
  • Place into the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown.
