Filling
- 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie chicken recommended for convenience)
- 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the pot pie.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked diced chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed.
- Assemble Filling: Transfer the chicken and vegetable filling mixture into a casserole or pie dish, spreading it out evenly for consistent baking.
- Make Biscuit Dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Cheese and Garlic: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder into the flour mixture to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Add Milk and Combine: Gradually add the milk to the flour mixture, stirring gently just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
- Top Filling with Dough: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling to cover it as much as possible.
- Bake Pot Pie: 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 around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the pot pie to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling set slightly.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor.
- You can substitute the cream of chicken soup with a homemade white sauce for a fresher taste.
- Ensure the butter is cold when cutting into the flour mixture to create a flaky biscuit topping.
- Do not overmix the biscuit dough, as this can make the biscuits tough.
- Feel free to use your preferred mixed vegetables or fresh vegetables if available.
- If you want a richer biscuit topping, substitute milk with buttermilk.
