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 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 diced cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Mix everything thoroughly to create a well-seasoned filling.
- Transfer Filling: Spread the filling evenly into a casserole or pie dish, ensuring a uniform layer for the biscuit topping.
- Make Biscuit Dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, which creates a flaky biscuit texture.
- Add Cheese and Milk: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder for flavor, then gradually add the milk, mixing gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuit dough tender.
- Top the Filling: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling, covering the surface completely.
- Bake: Place the assembled pot pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pot pie to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling set and avoid burns.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor.
- Ensure the butter is cold for a flakier biscuit topping.
- Do not overmix the biscuit dough to keep it light and tender.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have available.
- This dish can be reheated in the oven for best biscuit texture retention.
