A quick and easy creamy chicken pot pie topped with flaky biscuits, perfect for comforting family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded or diced chicken breast or thighs (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix (or fresh diced carrots and peas)
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk or 2%
  • 2 cups biscuit baking mix
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar or mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water (egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and celery, sauté for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour over the veggies and stir constantly with a whisk for 2 minutes.
  4. Slowly whisk in 2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup milk. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble gently, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Fold in 3 cups cooked chicken and 1 cup frozen peas and carrots. Remove the skillet from heat.
  7. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups biscuit mix and 3/4 cup milk (or as package directs). Stir until just combined to form a soft but not sticky dough.
  8. Pour the creamy chicken mixture into your greased pie dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the top. If using cheese, sprinkle it over or gently tuck it into the biscuit dough.
  9. Lightly brush the biscuit tops with beaten egg wash.
  10. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until biscuits are puffed and golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  11. Let the pot pie sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

If biscuits brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. For crispier tops, broil for 1-2 minutes watching carefully. Use rotisserie or leftover chicken to save time. You can substitute gluten-free flour and biscuit mix for gluten-free diets. Dairy-free milk like coconut milk works well in the filling.
