    Method

    • Lightly spray the sauce pot with non-stick spray. Add onions, pepper, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir-cook 5 minutes until onions are tender.
    • Add broth, potatoes, carrots, and celery. Bring to a boil. Cover; reduce heat; simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are almost tender. Remove bay leaves.
    • Blend the flour and cold water together; stir to make a slurry. Add slurry to vegetable mixture stirring constantly. Bring stock to boil. Cover; reduce heat; simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
    • Fold in peas, and cooked, diced chicken. Bring to a boil. Cover; reduce heat; simmer 5 to 10 minutes.
    • Pour mixture into ungreased pan.

    BATTER TOPPING

    • For batter topping, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into mixer bowl.
    • Reconstitute milk in warm water. Combine milk, egg whites and margarine or butter. Add to dry ingredients; mix at low speed until dry ingredients are moistened, about 30 seconds. Do not overmix.
    • Pour batter evenly over top of chicken mixture in pan.
    • Using a convection oven, bake 20 to 25 minutes at 400 F. or until lightly browned.
