Chicken Pot Pie for the Busy Mama

being pregnant..all i want is quick and easy comfort food. this recipe does the trick! The busy mama's way to chicken pot pie! ingredients and directions below!

Besides a few bumps along the way. cough..bisctuis cough.. this came together so fast!! i even have extra plain chicken to make up into something for sophia tomorrow.. and leftovers to warm up when i'm exhausted from growing a baby. i found a recipe here and changed it up a bit.


Ingredients
2 Cups chicken
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup diced onions
2 cups mixed veggies (frozen pack)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
14 oz chicken broth
1 batch of biscuits (or 1 can if you mess up like me.)


First things first... bake the chicken...or boil. I threw some tenderloins in with olive oil..salt and pepper. took about 30 minutes. 
Chop the chicken into pieces and set aside.


time to make up the deliciousness.
melt the butter at medium heat. (add onions in now if you want.. i skipped them this time. cook onions two minutes until tender.)stir in flour, salt and pepper until well blended.

gradually stir in broth and milk, cooking and stirring until bubbly and thickened.

mix in vegetables (i used a frozen pack..steam fresh. (you could probably zap it in the microwave before you throw it in..but i ended up letting mine cook together for a while.) mix in chicken.

now the part that makes this chicken pot pie easy is instead of making a crust you just throw in a batch of biscuits. i tried to make homemade biscuits.........(i didn't have the oven's heat high enough. thats my conclusion. they "looked" like my grandmother's when they went in.....haha.)

husband stepped in and saved the preggo lady by running down the street and grabbing a pop in the oven batch of biscuits. (when i pregnant lady has her mind on having something for dinner you don't want to mess up that plan. haha... we planned on going to cici's pizza the other night..i know.,.ew..gross.. and we show up and it was CLOSED! i was lost. seriously. i didn't know what else to eat nothing sounded good.)

spoon chicken and vegetable mixture over warm biscuits.

this meal is so easy, super fast and tastes like classic home cookin'.

most importantly it's husband approved.

you should try it.

while ben ran to the store to grab the biscuits... sophia was let loose on the kitchen at my feet. being pregnant i feel like i'm way more laid back with her making a mess.. i'm like...oh well...we'll clean it up when she takes her nap. haha. 

after she destroys the house she is a snuggle bug.
