QUICK & EASY CHEESY CHICKEN POT PIE
Steps:
- 1. Place meat and vegetables in a 9 inch round or 8x8 square baking dish. 2. Make the sauce: Melt butter over medium heat, add flour and cook 1 minute to take out the raw flavor. Slowly add chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally. Remove from heat, add salt and pepper to taste and stir in cheese until melted. Pour over meat and vegetables. Mix well. 3. Biscuit topping: Stir together all ingredients with a fork until even moistened. Spread thinly over mixture in casserole dish. (Don't worry if there are gaps, it does not need to be perfectly covered and it will fill out more as it bakes.) 4. Bake at 400oF for 25 minutes or until topping is golden and filling is bubbly. Makes: 4 servings *if using fresh chicken, simply chop 2 chicken breasts into bite size pieces and saute until cooked through.

- 5. Pour chicken mixture into a 9 x 11 baking pan and cover with the pie crust (I like using the frozen but feel free to make your own if you're adventurous) Or use the halved refrigerator buscuits. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or till top (crust) is golden brown. Let rest for about 10 minutes before serving. *Note, if using a pie crust be sure to cut steam vents into it. The buscuits make their own steam vents.
