FILLING

3 tbsp butter
1/2 cup finely diced celery
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1 small bay leaf
3 tbsp flour
1 1/2 cup chicken stock
1 1/2 cup milk or cream
1 dash tabasco (or more, to taste)
1 salt
1 freshly ground black pepper
2 cup cooked chicken - (shredded or diced, )
3/4 lb diced cooked potatoes
1/2 lb diced cooked carrots
6 oz green peas, cooked or- green beans -
1/2 cup chopped dill

BISCUITS

1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp butter or veg. shortening -(or a co, mbination), cold
1/2 cup milk
3 tbsp chopped dill

Instructions:

For Filling: Melt the butter over low heat in a large saucepan. Add
the celery, onion, and bay leaf, cover, and cook about 10 minutes, or
until the vegetables are soft.

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stir well to incorporate,
then cook for about 5 minutes.

Stir in the chicken stock and the milk or cream. Cook the sauce over
low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the bay leaf
and add the Tabasco, salt, and pepper.

Stir in the chicken, potatoes, carrots, peas or beans, and dill. Keep
the filling warm while you make the biscuit dough.

Biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425 F.

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Make a
well in the mixture and cut the fat into the dry ingredients. Add the
milk and dill and stir the mixture with a fork for about a minute, or
until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl.

Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture to a 3-quart ovenproof
casserole. Drop the dough over the filling with a large spoon,
spacing evenly, to make six biscuits.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly browned
and the pie is bubbling. Serve hot.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting

Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.

Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.

"The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg - not by smashing it." - Arnold Glasow
