Bloody Mary Chicken Pot Pie with Olive Biscuit Crust

Part comfort, part Sunday morning this chicken pot pie flavored with an untraditional tomato  based sauce and topped with a tender biscuit topping studded with green olives can be on the table in less than an hour. If you want to serve it for valentines -hello bloody mary valentine!- but don’t have heart shaped cutouts simple make one big biscuit heart instead of several small ones (insert joke about eating your heart here).

I really like biscuits!

here are some of my favorite variations

this breakfast version with shiitake  mushroom gravy is also scaled for two!

biscuits made with pickle brine (I also really like pickles)

a sweet heart AKA one giant heart shaped blueberry biscuit

just in case you want to know more about bloody marys

bloody mary, the cocktails probable origins

also, how did I not know about this bar when I actually lived in NYC??

Bloody Mary Chicken Pot Pie with Olive Biscuit Crust

makes one mini chicken pot pie, perfect for two

making this in cast iron (or any dish safe for both the stovetop and oven if tomatoes in your cast iron offends you) cuts down on clean up

To save time I mix the crust in a food processor, your favorite biscuit assembly can be substituted just chop the olives a little finer before adding.
