Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this delicious Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits:

For the Filling

• 1 lb boneless chicken breast, diced (or cooked rotisserie chicken)
• 1 cup carrots, chopped
• 1 cup celery, chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup frozen peas
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup milk
• 1-2 tsp Creole seasoning (or your favorite chicken rub)

For the Topping

• 6-8 frozen biscuits (or canned biscuits, unthawed)

Directions

Follow these simple steps to make your Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits:

1. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the diced chicken and season with half the Creole seasoning. Cook until no longer pink (about 6-8 minutes).
2. Add Veggies: Stir in the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the veggies soften, about 5 minutes.
3. Thicken the Base: Sprinkle flour over the mixture in stages, stirring well after each addition to avoid clumps. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly. Add the remaining Creole seasoning and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens into a creamy sauce.
5. Add Peas: Stir in the frozen peas until evenly mixed.
6. Assemble: Transfer the filling to a baking dish. Place the frozen biscuits on top, spacing them evenly.
7. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (or per your biscuit package instructions). Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.
8. Serve: Let it cool slightly, then dig in!

Expert Tips for Perfect Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

• Add flour gradually: Prevents lumps in the sauce.
• Check biscuit doneness: Ensure the bottoms are cooked by lifting one slightly.
• Use rotisserie chicken: Saves time without sacrificing flavor.

Servings and Timing

• Servings: 6-8
• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 25-30 minutes
• Total Time: 40-45 minutes

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overcooking the chicken: Cook just until done to keep it tender.
• Using too much flour at once: Leads to a clumpy sauce.
• Not preheating the oven: Biscuits won’t rise properly.

Variations

Make this Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits your own with these ideas:

• Swap peas for green beans or corn for a different veggie twist.
• Use puff pastry instead of biscuits for a flakier top.
• Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick.

Storage and Reheating

• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheating: Warm in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes to keep the biscuits crisp.
• Freezing: Freeze the filling (without biscuits) for up to 2 months. Thaw, top with fresh biscuits, and bake.
