Buttermilk Biscuit-Topped Potpie

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half
• 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• pinch cayenne
• 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1 small red onion, chopped
• 4 celery stalks, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (corn, carrots, peas, and green beans), thawed
• 1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken breast
• 1 (6 oz.) package refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

Makes 5 Servings (generous 1 cup chicken with vegetables and 1 biscuit)

1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Spray a 3-quart shallow baking dish with nonstick spray.
2. Whisk together the broth, half-and-half, flour, mustard, salt, black pepper and cayenne in a glass measure until blended.
3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, garlic, and thyme; cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mixed vegetables and chicken and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add the broth mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce bubbles and thickens, about 3 minutes.
4. Pour the chicken mixture into the baking dish. Arrange the biscuits on top, spacing them evenly. Bake until the filling is bubbly and the biscuits are golden brown, 10-12 minutes.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Ultimate Chicken Cookbook. You can have your comfort food and eat it too. If you love chicken pot pie and buttermilk biscuits, you will love this dish. This meal takes about 30 minutes to make if you move productively. This is what I call hearty comfort food. I highly recommend making this dish on the weekend so you can take your time and enjoy making and eating this meal. I really enjoyed this meal because it was so filling and flavorful. If you don't have any chicken broth, you can substitute white wine. If you don't have half-and-half, substitute milk instead. I also highly recommend making your own buttermilk biscuits for the buttermilk biscuit topping. I highly recommend the Weight Watchers Buttermilk Biscuits recipe for the topping because they're really tasty and when you make them, you know what's in them.
