In large saucepan, cook celery in margarine until tender. Stir in flour, bouillon, and pepper. Add 4-1/2 cups milk. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in chicken, carrots, potatoes, and peas. Remove from heat. In medium bowl, combine remaining milk and biscuit mix. Mix well. Turn 2/3 of dough into well-greased 13 X 9 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with flour. With floured hands, pat evenly over bottom and up sides of dish. Pour chicken mixture into prepared dish. Turn remaining dough onto a well-floured surface. Knead until smooth.
