Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie chicken works well 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: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the pot pie.
- 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 everything thoroughly until well combined to create the flavorful filling.
- Transfer Filling: Pour the mixed filling into a casserole or pie dish and spread it out evenly to ensure an even baking surface for the biscuit topping.
- Make Biscuit Dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder.
- Add Milk: Gradually add the milk to the biscuit mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
- Top Filling: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling, covering the surface completely to allow the biscuits to bake on top.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the biscuit topping turns golden brown and the filling bubbles, indicating it is heated through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pot pie to cool for a few minutes after baking to set before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken cuts down prep time significantly without sacrificing flavor.
- Ensure the butter for the biscuit dough is cold to achieve a flaky biscuit texture.
- Do not overmix the biscuit dough to keep biscuits tender and light.
- You can customize the vegetables based on preference or availability.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
