When it comes to food and celebrating, no one should ever be left out!
I created these amazing“Morning Butter Biscuits”for the cookbook and when I couldn’t stopeating them, I realized they would be the perfect topping for a chicken pot pie- full of vegetables and fresh herbs.You can alsosubstitute SmokeTurkey (page 204) if you have leftovers in place of the chicken in this recipe! The crumbly, buttery topping just completes this dish and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!Thank you Matt and Stacy for having me on the blog today and letting me share a bit about mycookbook,All American Paleo Table!

Ingredients
- 3 skin-onchicken breasts(about 1 1/4 lbs)
- 1 1/4 tspsalt, plus more for roasting the chicken
- 1 tbspolive oil
- 8 cremini mushrooms, minced
- 1 small sweet yellow onion, minced
- 1 cup carrots, chopped
- 3 large cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh sage, chopped
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 1 cupcoconut milk, full-fat and unsweetened
- 1 tsparrowroot starch/flour
- 1 recipeMorning Butter Biscuit dough(page 40)
- 1 tbsp melted butter,gheeorolive oilfor brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Sprinkle the skin side of the chicken breasts lightly with salt, cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, warm a large skillet on low heat and drizzle in the olive oil. Add the minced mushrooms, onions, carrots, garlic, rosemary, thyme sage, salt and pepper. Sauté the vegetables for 15 to 20 minutes or until the carrots are tender and soft.
- Add the sauté mixture along with he peas to a large bowl and set aside. While everything is cooking, I usually prepare the biscuit dough.
- When the chicken is finished cooking, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before removing the skin and shredding the chicken. Add the chicken to the bowl with the vegetables and stir in the coconut milk and arrowroot until well mixed. Scoop the mixture into an 8 by 8 inch pan or medium oval baking dish.
- Lightly oil your hands with coconut oil and shape the biscuit dough into small flat circles and arrange on top of the pot pie filling. You may have extra dough, and if so, just use it to make a biscuit, according to the baking instructions on page 40.
- Lightly tent the dish with a piece of foil, place the chicken pot pie in the lower half of the oven and bake for 30 minutes, brushing the biscuit tops with the melted butter during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
- To save time, you can prepare you chicken and chop your vegetables ahead of time.
