Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
- 1 cup cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ cup chicken broth
Biscuit Topping
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the pot pie.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine diced cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Mix everything together until well incorporated.
- Assemble Filling: Transfer this filling mixture into a casserole or pie dish, spreading it evenly to create the base layer of your pot pie.
- Prepare Biscuit Topping Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure an even rise and proper texture.
- Cut in Butter: Add cubed cold butter to the dry mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, which helps create a flaky biscuit topping.
- Add Cheese and Garlic Powder: Stir shredded cheddar cheese and the tablespoon of garlic powder into the flour and butter mixture to infuse the biscuits with rich flavor.
- Form Biscuit Dough: Gradually pour in milk, mixing gently just until combined to avoid overworking the dough, which keeps biscuits tender.
- Top Filling with Biscuit Dough: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling, covering the surface fully to create a biscuit crust.
- Bake the Pot Pie: Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly and heated through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the pot pie cool for a few minutes to set before serving warm.
Notes
- You can save time by using rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken yourself.
- Be careful not to overmix the biscuit dough to ensure a light, fluffy texture.
- The biscuit topping can be spread slightly thinner or thicker depending on your preferred biscuit-to-filling ratio.
- Feel free to add other vegetables such as mushrooms or green beans for added texture and flavor.
- For a richer biscuit, substitute milk with buttermilk, adjusting baking powder slightly if desired.
