Filling
- 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 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
- Prepare the 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. Stir until well mixed.
- Make the biscuit dough: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Gradually add the milk and stir just until a soft dough forms.
- Assemble the pot pie: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into a greased 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the filling, covering as much surface as possible.
- Bake: Place the assembled pot pie into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly for easier serving.
Notes
- You can substitute any cooked chicken or leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Feel free to use your favorite frozen mixed vegetables or fresh vegetables chopped small.
- If you prefer a thicker filling, reduce chicken broth slightly or add a teaspoon of flour or cornstarch to the filling mixture.
- For a dairy-free option, use a dairy-free butter substitute and plant-based milk.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain biscuit crispness.
