A creamy chicken pot pie loaded with tender chicken and vegetables, topped with fluffy, golden biscuits. This comforting family dinner is easy, hearty, and perfect for cozy nights.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 cup carrots diced
- 1 cup peas
- ½ cup celery chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1½ cups milk
- 2 tablespoons flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon thyme optional
- For the Biscuit Topping:
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 stick cold butter diced
- ¾ cup milk or buttermilk for extra richness
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in carrots, peas, and celery and cook for another 4–5 minutes.
- Thicken the Sauce
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir. Gradually pour in chicken broth and milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes, until thickened.
- Add Chicken and Seasoning
- Stir in shredded chicken, thyme (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
- Make the Biscuit Topping
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and stir until just combined.
- Assemble
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the chicken filling into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top, spreading them out evenly.
- Bake
- Bake for 30–35 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use store-bought biscuits if you’re short on time.
- Add your favorite veggies or use up leftovers.
- For extra richness, use buttermilk in the biscuit dough.
- Freeze before baking for a ready-to-go dinner later!
