How to Make Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

Be sure to check out the full recipe and ingredient list below

Spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Set aside.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and place in a large pot. Add chicken broth and simmer gently.
Cook the chicken until it’s fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. The internal temperature should reach 165°F using an instant read thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the pan, saving the broth. Shred chicken and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, and onions and cook until softened.
Add the garlic, seasonings, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 30 seconds, then sprinkle with flour.
Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Whisk and gradually add chicken broth to the pan, using 2-2 ½ cups and saving the rest.
Whisk in the half and half gradually. If the filling is too thick, add more broth to reach the desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Add the shredded chicken and frozen peas to the pan; stir until the peas are warmed through.
Transfer the mixture to the pan and spread it evenly. Place the biscuit pieces over the filling, leaving some space between each piece.
Bake according to the biscuit package instructions.
Optional: Mix ¼ cup melted butter with ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon parsley, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Brush the mixture over the biscuits.
Serve warm!

Quick Tips

Tips

Use your favorite biscuits! This recipe works with homemade biscuits, Cheddar Bay Biscuits, or your favorite canned biscuits. Just follow the cook time and temperature for the biscuits you use to ensure thorough cooking.

How to Store Leftovers

Refrigerator: Store leftover pot pie in an airtight container for 4 days.

Make Ahead: Prepare the filling up to 2 days ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat before placing in a baking dish. Add broth or milk to thin if needed, and place the biscuits on top just before baking!

Freezer: This pot pie freezes well. When properly stored, it stays fresh for about 2 months.

Note: Some people prefer to remove the biscuits and store them separately from the chicken filling. That works well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! Heavy cream can be used as a substitute for half-and-half for a richer and creamier consistency in your pot pie. However, keep in mind that heavy cream has a higher fat content, which can change the texture slightly.

If desired, you can dilute the heavy cream with water to mimic the lighter consistency of half-and-half; simply mix three parts of heavy cream with one part water.

Certainly! Rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver and adds a depth of flavor. Simply shred the cooked rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces and use it in place of the chicken breasts.

Keep in mind that since the rotisserie chicken is already cooked, you’ll still need to add chicken broth to make the filling.
