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: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready when your pot pie is assembled.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy and flavorful filling.
- Transfer Filling: Pour and spread the chicken filling evenly into your casserole or pie dish, forming a solid base for the biscuit topping.
- Mix Dry Ingredients for Biscuit: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut In Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Cheese and Garlic Powder: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder, distributing them evenly throughout the biscuit dough.
- Add Milk: Gradually add the milk, stirring just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Top Filling: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling, covering the surface.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pot pie to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling set slightly for easier serving.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor.
- Ensure the butter for the biscuit dough is cold to achieve a flaky texture.
- Do not overmix the biscuit dough to keep the topping light and tender.
- You can substitute mixed vegetables with fresh or other preferred veggies if desired.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend and confirm the cream of chicken soup is gluten-free.
