Cumin-Scented Chicken Pot Pie {Pi Day}



It's Pi Day today. 3/14 = 3.14159265359 or pi. Also known as a great excuse for Cam to make pie. So, for dinner tonight I made a biscuit-topped chicken pot pie.

The filling: chicken thighs, carrots, kale, and mushrooms. Sauté the chicken thighs in a splash of olive oil till they are completed cooked through. Add the kale, carrots, and mushrooms and cook till softened. Add in 1 T of corn starch dissolved into 1 C of chicken broth, 1/2 C of heavy cream, and a splash of soy sauce. Once the sauce begins to thicken, stir in 2 t ground cumin. Spoon the filling into your baking dish. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

To make biscuit topping, whisk together 1-1/2 C whole wheat flour, 1 t baking powder, and 1/2 t baking soda.  Using a pastry blender, work butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add 1 C buttermilk and 1/2 C shredded parmesan. Stir until just combined.

Bake till the biscuits are golden brown, approximately 20 minutes. Serve hot.

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo.
