Equipment
- 1 cast iron skillet
- 1 bowl to make sourdough biscuit dough
- 1 knife and cutting board to chop veggies
- 1 spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- 1 batch sourdough biscuits
- 1 onion
- 6 small carrots
- 5 stalks celery
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1/2 Cup flour/sourdough starter
- 1/2-1 Cup milk cream or half and half
- 1 Cup chicken broth
- 1 Cup peas
- 1 Cup sweet corn
- butter
- 12 oz shredded cheese sharper cheddar, pepper jack, gouda, etc
- sage, thyme, salt pepper, favorite herbs
Instructions
- This recipe can be quick and easy if you do all the prep work before you start assembling the pie. Dice all your vegetables and have them ready in a bowl. Cook and shred your chicken and have your milk and chicken broth ready to use. Your sourdough biscuits should have been made the morning before or a day ahead, so you should pull those out, roll and fold the dough and cut the biscuits out.
- Once everything is prepped and ready,, heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add a pat of butter, then sauté the onions, carrots, celery until translucent. Next add in some flour or some sourdough starter (discard or active), and stir until the butter is well absorbed and flour is cooked. Slowly whisk in milk and chicken broth to create a gravy. Add in potatoes and allow everything to simmer while gravy thickens.
- Next stir in any peas or corn and level off the filling so that it's smooth in the pan. Top the filling with shredded cheese. Finally, arrange your biscuits over the top of the pie. Bake at 400 degrees until tops of biscuits are golden brown. Allow the entire pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
