Healthy Chicken Pot Pie With Biscuit Crust - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Filling
    1 cup onion, chopped
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1 cup reduced-fat chicken broth
    1 1/2 cups diced potatoes, peeled
    1 1/2 cups chopped carrots
    1 cup green beans, cut in 1 inch pieces
    1 (10 ounce) can reduced-fat cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom)
    1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 cups chopped cooked chicken breasts
    2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
    1/4 teaspoon dried basil
    1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    Biscuit Crust
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon ground sage
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
    1/3 cup skim milk
Preparation
    In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute onions and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes (use oil or cooking spray).
    Add broth, potatoes, carrots and beans.
    Bring to a boil.
    Reduce heat to medium-low.
    Simmer for 12 minutes, partially covered.
    Potatoes should be a bit undercooked.
    Remove from heat.
    Combine condensed soup and flour in a small bowl.
    Add to vegetables, along with chicken, parsley, basil, thyme and pepper.
    Stir well.
    Pour into a casserole dish (I use a 9 x 9 pyrex baking dish).
    Prepare biscuit crust.
    Combine flour, baking powder, sage and salt.
    Cut in butter or margarine with a pastry blender until it looks like coarse crumbs.
    Stir in milk.
    Form the dough into a ball, adding a bit more flour if too sticky.
    On a floured surface, roll out dough to the size where it will fit the top of your casserole dish.
    Place dough on top of chicken mixture.
    Prick dough with a fork several times.
    Bake at 400 F for 25 minutes, until crust is golden brown.
    Let stand for 5 minutes.
    Serve.
