FROM LHJ ONLINE A cornucopia of vegetables, this chicken potpie with a biscuit topping gets lots of flavor from just a little meat. Prep time: 30 minutes Baking time: 12 to 15 minutes Degree of difficulty: Easy 1. Make Biscuits: Heat oven to 425°F. Lightly coat cookie sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add carrots to saucepan and cook 7 minutes. Add squash, green beans and green onions; cook 2 minutes more. With slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to plate. 3. Heat broth over medium-low heat 1 minute. Stir cornstarch into 1/4 cup milk until smooth. Whisk into broth along with remaining milk, dill, salt, pepper and thyme. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. Stir chicken, peas and cooked vegetables into sauce; cook until heated through.
