Ingredients

  • For the Filling:
    • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
    • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
    • 1/3 cup butter
    • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • For the Biscuit Topping:
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
    • 3/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden.
  2. Step 2: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, cooking until the mixture thickens, about 3–5 minutes. Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and thyme if using. Remove from heat.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the biscuit topping by combining the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined.
  4. Step 4: Pour the chicken filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the filling, leaving space between each biscuit.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Step 6: Allow the pot pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor to the filling.
  • Try adding a splash of heavy cream in the filling for an even richer sauce.
  • Swap the frozen mixed vegetables for fresh or different veggies like mushrooms or broccoli.
  • For a cheesy twist, sprinkle shredded cheddar on top of the filling before adding the biscuit dough.
  • Brush the biscuits with a little melted butter before baking for a golden, glossy finish.

Storage

Store leftover pot pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes. You can also microwave individual portions, but the biscuit topping may lose some crispness.

How to Serve

A white round deep dish holds a creamy chicken and vegetable casserole topped with five large golden brown biscuits. The biscuits have a crumbly and slightly crispy texture on top, with small green herb leaves sprinkled around and on them. Below the biscuits, the creamy filling shows chunks of white chicken, orange carrot pieces, bright green peas, and bits of darker mushrooms, all immersed in a thick light beige sauce. The dish has a warm, hearty look with a rustic and homely feel, set against a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
