Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 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
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Biscuit Topping
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the pot pie.
- Prepare 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 thoroughly to create the filling mixture.
- Transfer Filling: Pour and spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly into a casserole or pie dish.
- Mix Biscuit Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit topping.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mixture and cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Cheese and Garlic: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder evenly through the biscuit dough mixture.
- Add Milk: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
- Top Filling: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken filling, covering the surface evenly but leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pot pie sit for a few minutes after baking to set before serving warm.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time without sacrificing flavor.
- Don’t overmix biscuit dough to avoid tough biscuits.
- Feel free to substitute frozen mixed vegetables with fresh or your preferred veggies.
- For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of milk in the biscuit topping.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
