Chicken Pot Pie

This makes a large pot of Chicken Pot Pie to be served Family Style with Biscuits instead of a biscuit topping... It may take a bit longer to cook, but it warms both the heart and the home and smells divine while cooking!
2 Large Chicken Breasts - Poached and Shredded 2 tbsp olive oil 1 large yellow/white onion, diced 3-4 ribs celery, diced 1 container baby bella mushrooms, rough chop 2 large Yukon Gold Potatos, small dice 2 cups carrots, diced 2 cups fresh green beans, 1" pieces 1 1/2 cups frozen corn 6-8 cups hot chicken stock 2 tbsp minced garlic 1 tsp dried parsley 1 tsp dried basil 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper 1 tsp thyme S&P 2 Cups GF Bisquick 2 tsp Dried Dill 2/3-1 Cup warm GF Chicken Stock (I use my poaching liquid)
Add oil, onion, celery, garlic, mushrooms, potatoes and carrots to a large cast iron dutch oven on medium high heat. Saute for about 5 minutes and turn down to medium. Add 2 cups of chicken stock and the shredded chicken and herbs. Let cook stirring occasionally for 45 minutes to an hour (my stove was on 4). During the cooking process I added a couple of cups of stock as I went. After the potatoes and carrots were softening up, I added the green beans and corn and turned the stove down to simmer (dial on 2) and let it cook for another hour. At this point you will want to check the salt level. You probably won't want to add more but if you need to this is the time to do it. The stock/poaching liquid will have some in it also. Add the GF Bisquick, dill and 2/3 of the warm stock to a bowl and mix. If the mixture is a bit dry you can add up to 1 1/2 cups of stock. You don't want it too runny though. I bake these as drop biscuits for 15 minutes on my pizza stone in 2 batches. It makes about 20 large spoon size biscuits. Serve the pot pie in a bowl with 2 biscuits per person on top (or on the side if you like). This was based on a Rachael Ray recipe that I saw on TV last year before my Dad came to visit and since I could not eat it the way she made it, I spent time trying to make it my own. I would consider this one a success. It was so cool, but the mosquitos had not gone away yet! We had so much rain, and the cool weather came to visit, I wanted to warm up the house but not turn on the heat (classic Heather)! This smells so yummy and taste's even better! Share & enjoy!!
