Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (You can use rotisserie chicken to save time.)
- 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 properly warm it for baking the pot pie.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Assemble Filling in Dish: Transfer the chicken mixture into a casserole or pie dish, spreading it out evenly to create a uniform base.
- Make Biscuit Dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Add Cheese and Milk: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Slowly add the milk, mixing just until the dough comes together; be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
- Top Pot Pie: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling, covering the surface as best as possible.
- Bake: Place the assembled pot pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is beautifully golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes after baking to set before serving warm.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken simplifies the preparation and adds great flavor.
- Ensure biscuits cover the filling well for a perfect crust.
- Do not overmix biscuit dough to maintain a tender texture.
- You can customize the mixed vegetables to your preference.
- Leftovers store well and can be reheated in the oven.
