Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  3. In same skillet, whisk together broth, milk, cornstarch, salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until sauce is bubbly and thickens. Stir in chicken and vegetables; return to boil. Remove skillet from heat and keep warm.

  5. Drop dough by scant 2-tablespoon dollops over chicken mixture, making 12 biscuits. Brush biscuits with remaining 1 teaspoon melted butter. Bake until biscuits are golden and filling is bubbly, 25–30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Ladle into 4 bowls.
  6. Serving size: 3 biscuits and about 1 cup filling

Notes

Note from Chef Eric: When I need something warm and nourishing for body and soul, chicken potpie is my go-to. And I like to bulk up my pies with excellent zero Points vegetables like leeks and snap peas.
