Chicken-Corn Bread Pies

Ingredients

2 tsp margarine
5 ounces diced cooked chicken
½ cup each diced carrot and celery
¼ cup diced onion
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 tsp each pepper and thyme leaves
¼ cup all-purpose flour, divided
1 cup canned read-to-serve chicken broth
½ cup buttermilk
1 egg
2¼ ounces uncooked yellow cornmeal
¼ tsp baking soda

Method

  • Preheat oven to 4000F.

  • In 2-quart saucepan melt margarine; add chicken, carrot, celery, onion, parsley, garlic, pepper and thyme and sauté over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender-crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.

  • Sprinkle 1 tbsp flour over vegetables and stir quickly to combine; stir in broth.

  • Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened and mixture thickens, 5 to 6 minutes.

  • In medium mixing bowl combine buttermilk and egg; set aside.

  • In small mixing bowl combine cornmeal, baking soda and remaining 3 tbsp flour; add to buttermilk mixture and stir until smooth.

  • Spray two 1½-cup casseroles with nonstick cooking spray and spoon half of the chicken mixture into each; top each with half of the cornmeal mixture and spread evenly over chicken mixture. Bake until cornmeal mixture is cooked through and lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.

  • MAKES 2 SERVINGS, 1 PIE EACH.
