Ingredients
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 (for filling)
- 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 (for biscuit topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the pot pie later.
- 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 all ingredients until well mixed.
- Assemble Filling in Dish: Transfer the prepared filling mixture evenly into an oven-safe casserole or pie dish.
- Mix Biscuit Dough Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Cheese and Garlic Powder: Stir the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder into the crumb mixture evenly.
- Add Milk and Form Dough: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently just until combined to form the biscuit dough. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
- Top Filling with Biscuit Dough: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling to cover the surface.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling settle and to avoid burning.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves preparation time without compromising flavor.
- Feel free to swap out mixed vegetables to accommodate seasonal produce or personal preferences.
- This pot pie can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated; if baking from cold, add extra 5-10 minutes to the bake time.
- For a richer biscuit crust, you can substitute some of the milk with buttermilk.
- Ensure the butter for the biscuit topping is very cold for the flakiest texture.
