1c chopped onions
1 clove garlic, minced
1c low-sodium reduced-fat chicken broth
1 -1/2c peeled, cubed potatoes
1 -1/2c chopped carrots
1c sliced green beans (cut into 1 inch pieces)
1 can (10 0z) reduced-fat Cream of Mushroom Soup
1-1/2 tbsp all purpose flour
2c chopped chicken breast (about 3/4 of a pound)
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp each dried basil and ground thyme
1/4 tsp black pepper

Biscuit Crust

1c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground sage
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter or margarine
1/3c skim milk

Spray a large saucepan with non-stick spray. Add onions and garlic. Cook over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add broth, potatoes, carrots, and beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Partially cover and simmer for 12 minutes. The potatoes should be slightly undercooked. Remove from heat.

In a small bowl, stir together mushroom soup and flour. Add to vegetables, along with chicken, parsley, basil, thyme, and pepper. Stir well. Pour into a medium casserole dish.

To prepare crust, combine flour, baking powder, sage, and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter or margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk. Form a ball with the dough. Add a bit more flour if dough is too sticky. Roll out on a floured surface to fit top of casserole. Place dough over chicken mixture. Prick several times with a fork. Bake at 400F for 25 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
