Chicken Pot Pie Gravy and Biscuits


As requested my easy pot pie gravy and biscuits recipe follows. 
It can be made in one pan, uses up leftover chicken and comes together in under 30 minutes.


Ingredients:
1 lb cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
onion
3 Tbs butter
4 Tbs Flour
1+1/2 Cups Chicken Broth/Stock
1 Cup Milk
16 oz bag Frozen Mixed Vegetables 
Salt, Pepper, seasonings to taste
Cheese (optional)


In a large pan melt butter over medium heat and saute onion 1-2 minutes, whisk in flour to make a thick roux.
Slowly whisk in chicken broth making a smooth sauce, slowly stir in milk, add seasonings(i use salt pepper and my own cajun spice mix) and bring to a simmer to thicken stirring continuously. 

As the sauce simmers stir in frozen vegetables, after they begin to soften add cooked chicken.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are cooked and chicken is heated through.
If you'd like, stir in a cup or so of shredded cheese to make an even richer sauce.

Serve with biscuits for soaking up the gravy, like my quick low-fat biscuits:

Preheat oven to 400, in a bowl combine 2 cups flour, 1 Tbs baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt.
Stir in 1 1/4 cups of plain yogurt until dough comes together.
Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet OR dump dough onto floured surface, pat out into 1/2 inch thick layer and cut out biscuits. 
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and delicious.
