Servings: persons

1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up
4 cups water
3 medium carrots, halved widthwise
2 medium onions, quartered
4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1 bay leaf
1/2 pound whole fresh mushrooms
2 celery ribs, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1 cup frozen peas
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons shortening
1/2 cup milk

1
Place the chicken, water, carrots, onions, bouillon and bay leaf in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Add mushrooms and celery; simmer 15 minutes longer or until chicken is tender.
2
Remove chicken; allow to cool. Strain broth, reserving vegetables; skim fat. Set aside 2 cups broth (save remaining broth for another use). Discard bay leaf. Remove meat from bones; discard bones. Chop vegetables and cut chicken into bite-size pieces.
3
In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add milk and reserved broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the chicken, cooked vegetables, peas and seasonings. Pour into a greased 2-qt. baking dish; set aside.
4
For biscuits, in a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened.
5
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Pat or roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter.
6
Place biscuits on top of chicken mixture. Bake, uncovered at 400u00b0 for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
