Rinse chicken and pat dry. In a 4 quart Dutch oven combine chicken, water and bay leaf. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is tender and no longer pink. Drain; reserving chicken stock. Discard bay leaf. Cool chicken slightly; discard bones and cut up chicken into bite-size pieces.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan cook potatoes, carrots, garlic, and onion in a small amount of boiling water, about 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Drain; keep warm.

For sauce, in medium saucepan stir together the evaporated milk, flour, basil, poultry seasonings, salt and pepper. Add 1 cup of the reserved chicken stock, stirring until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.

Gently stir together the cut-up chicken, drained vegetables, peas and sauce. Keep warm while preparing green onion biscuits.
