      1/2  Cup           butter or margarine
    5      Tablespoons   flour
      3/4  Teaspoon      salt or to taste
      1/4  Teaspoon      fresh ground pepper
      1/4  Teaspoon      garlic powder (I use fresh)
    3      Cups          chicken broth
    3      Cups          chicken, -- cooked and cubed
    2      Cups          biscuit mix
      2/3  Cup           milk
      3/4  Cup           cheddar cheese -- grated
      1/8  Teaspoon      paprika
 
 Cook onion, celery, green pepper in butter until soft.  Blend in flour,
 salt, pepper and garlic powder.  Add chicken broth, peas, corn and cook
 over medium heat, stirring constantly, unti mixture is thickened and
 bubbly.
 Combine onion mixture with chicken and pour into a greased 2 qt
 casserole. Put in a hot oven 425 to heat while you make the biscuits.
 Prepare biscuits mix, using 2/3 cup milk as directed on package.  Turn
 onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few time.  Roll out to an 8"
 square; sprinkle with the cheese.  Roll as for jelly roll, sealing the
 edges.  Cut 8 slices 1" thick.  Place on the hot chicken mixture in
 casserole and sprinkle with paprika and bake until the biscuits are
 lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
