Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Pot Pie 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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the pot pie evenly.
  2. 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 thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Transfer Filling: Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly into a casserole or pie dish, forming the base layer of the pot pie.
  4. Make Biscuit Dough: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring a flaky texture.
  5. Add Cheese and Milk: Stir shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder into the flour mixture. Gradually add milk, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
  6. Top the Filling: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling, covering the surface completely to form the biscuit crust.
  7. Bake: Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and to avoid burns.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken significantly cuts down prep time while adding great flavor.
  • Make sure the butter is cold when cutting it into the flour for flaky biscuits.
  • If desired, substitute cheddar cheese with a blend of cheeses for a richer biscuit topping.
  • The filling can be customized with other frozen vegetables like green beans or mushrooms.
  • To make ahead, assemble the pot pie but hold off baking; cover and refrigerate, then bake just before serving.
