Ingredients
Scale
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
- Prepare the Filling: 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. 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.
- Prepare the Biscuit Topping: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined.
- Assemble and Bake: 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. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Allow the pot pie to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy this comforting dish.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken such as rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken for convenience.
- Frozen mixed vegetables can be substituted with fresh vegetables if preferred; just adjust cooking time accordingly.
- If you like a thicker filling, reduce the chicken broth slightly or cook filling a bit longer before assembling.
- Make sure the butter for biscuit topping is very cold for a flakier texture.
- You can add fresh herbs like rosemary or parsley in addition to thyme for extra flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain biscuit texture.
