Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 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 the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the pot pie.
- Prepare the 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. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Transfer filling: Pour and spread the prepared chicken mixture evenly into a casserole or pie dish, creating the base layer for your pot pie.
- Make biscuit dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Add cheese and milk: Stir the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder into the flour mixture, then gradually pour in the milk. Mix gently just until the dough comes together—avoid overmixing for tender biscuits.
- Top the filling: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling, making sure the topping covers the entire surface.
- Bake the pie: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping turns golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Cool and serve: Remove the pot pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly for easier serving.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken is a convenient shortcut and adds great flavor.
- Frozen mixed vegetables can be substituted or adjusted based on preference.
- Do not overmix biscuit dough to ensure a light and fluffy topping.
- The creamy filling can be enriched with a little extra chicken broth if it appears too thick before baking.
- Serve with a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
