Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large shallot chopped
- 1 16-ounce package frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened, plain dairy free milk
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
For the biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3/4 cup unsweetened, plain dairy free milk
Instructions
- Mise en place. Preheat your oven to 425˚F. Then, gather and measure out all of your ingredients before you begin.
- Make the biscuits. In a large mixing bowl, stir the dry biscuit ingredients and whisk until evenly distributed. Then add the wet ingredients and gently stir with a rubber spatula until a rough dough forms and the flour in no longer dry. Set aside.
- Make the filling. Heat a large, oven-proof skillet to medium-high. Add olive oil and let it heat. Add shallots and sauté, stirring as needed, until softened - about 3 minutes. Add vegetables and cook for another minute.Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir until evenly coated. Cook until the flour is fully hydrated.Slowly stir in the chicken stock and milk. Simmer until the sauce has thickened, stirring as needed to prevent clumping and burning.Stir in the chicken, and adjust seasoning with salt & pepper, to taste.
- Top with biscuits. Scoop the biscuit dough on top of the pot pie in 3 tablespoon portions leaving space between biscuits to allow them to rise. If desired, brush oil or melted dairy free butter.
- Bake the pot pie. Transfer your pot pie to the oven and bake for about 15 - 20 minutes, or until biscuits are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
