Description
A warm and comforting chicken pot pie topped with fluffy golden biscuits instead of a traditional crust, filled with tender chicken, vegetables, and a creamy savory sauce.
Ingredients
2 tbsp butter
1 small onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk (or half-and-half)
2 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuits)
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
3/4 cup milk (plus more if needed)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet or oven-safe pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery and cook 5–7 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute.
- Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir well. Cook for 1–2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then milk. Simmer 5–7 minutes until thickened.
- Stir in cooked chicken, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt for the biscuits.
- Cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly.
- Stir in milk just until a soft dough forms.
- Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the warm filling.
- If needed, transfer filling to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Use rotisserie or leftover chicken for convenience.
Canned biscuit dough can be substituted for a quicker version.
Add fresh herbs like parsley or rosemary for extra flavor.
Store leftovers refrigerated for 3–4 days.
Reheat in a 350°F oven for best texture or microwave for convenience.
Freeze filling separately for up to 2 months.
