Ingredients:

For the Filling:

• 2 tablespoons butter (or plant-based butter substitute)
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 teaspoons Clean Monday Meals Zest & Herb Chicken Seasoning
• 1 cup Clean Monday Meals Cream of Chicken powder
• 3 cups hot water
• 1/2 cup milk (or unsweetened, plain dairy-free milk alternative)

For the Gluten-Free Topping:

• 2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon Clean Monday Meals Ranch Powder (Optional)
• 1/2 cup cold butter (or cold, solid plant-based butter substitute), cubed
• 1 cup milk (or dairy-free milk alternative, chilled)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling Base:

• Sauté Vegetables: Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until tender.

• Make the Gravy: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Cream of Chicken powder and the hot water until smooth. Stir in the Zest & Herb Chicken Seasoning and the 1/2 cup of milk.

• Combine & Thicken: Pour the gravy mixture into the pot with the vegetables. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Remove from heat.

• Finish Filling: Stir in the cooked chicken and frozen peas. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

2. Prepare the Topping:

• Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the GF flour, baking powder, salt, and the optional CMM Ranch Powder.

• Cut in Butter: Cut the cold butter cubes into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

• Form Dough: Gradually stir in the 1 cup of chilled milk alternative until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

3. Assemble and Bake:

• Preheat: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• Assemble: Pour the entire chicken filling mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough mixture evenly over the top of the filling.

• Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is actively bubbling.

• Serve: Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.
