Chicken biscuit pot pie is a cozy, all-in-one comfort dish featuring a creamy chicken and vegetable filling topped with golden, fluffy biscuits. It’s a modern, simplified take on the classic pot pie.


Ingredients

  • For the Filling:
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • For the Biscuit Topping:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk

  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery; sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle in flour, stir to coat vegetables, and cook for 1–2 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, stirring until thickened.

  7. Pour the filling into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  8. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined.
  9. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the filling.
  10. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until biscuits are golden and filling is bubbling.
  11. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
