Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken (cubed or shredded)
  • 3 cans cream of chicken soup (10 oz each)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 1/2 cups frozen vegetables (peas and carrots, corn, or any other favorite)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Topping

  • 12 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury biscuits)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the pot pie.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, minced garlic, milk, frozen vegetables, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated to create a creamy chicken filling.
  3. Assemble Pot Pie: Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly to form the base of the pot pie.
  4. Add Biscuit Topping: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and arrange the biscuits evenly on top of the chicken mixture, slightly pressing each biscuit into the filling to secure them.
  5. Brush Butter: Brush the melted butter over the tops of the biscuits to help them brown beautifully in the oven.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the pot pie from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.

Notes

  • You can use any combination of frozen vegetables such as peas, carrots, corn, or green beans based on your preference.
  • If you prefer a thicker filling, reduce the amount of milk slightly or add a tablespoon of flour to the filling mixture.
  • Leftover cooked chicken works perfectly and helps reduce preparation time.
  • For a richer flavor, use sharp cheddar cheese and real butter for brushing.
  • The refrigerated biscuit dough topping can be swapped with homemade biscuit dough if preferred.
  • Keep an eye on the biscuits towards the end of baking to prevent over-browning.
