How to Make BONNIE'S CHICKEN POT PIE IN A SKILLET
- MAKE THE VEGETABLES AHEAD:
Prepare the vegetables and cook them ahead in the crockpot the day before if desired. Cook the vegetables on low about 4 hours until tender. (Use no salt or seasonings or garlic or onions.) Drain the vegetables and chop them according to the recipe. Save the rest of the vegetables for future meals. Don't skip this step, it really makes a huge difference in taste. - Add the chopped cooked crockpot vegetables and add the measured amounts to the gravy: 1 cup carrots, 1 cup celery with tops and 3/4 cup red potatoes and seasonings of 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon rubbed sage. Stir gently to mix. Reduce heat to low and simmer about 5 minutes.
- MAKE THE GREEN ONION BISCUITS FOR THE TOPPING
Combine the 2 cups all-purpose flour with the salt and baking powder and 3 TBS fine chopped green onion, and mix well. Cut in the 1/4 cup of Crisco with your fingers until it is like coarse cornmeal, then add the 3/4 cup of milk (it may not take all of it so add it gradually.) DON'T OVERMIX or it will make biscuits tough. Go down the sides of the bowl and under the flour mixture gently until you have a workable ball. I use a large cutter. Pat into a half inch thick circle and cut out 8 biscuits.
