Print Recipe

Make this hearty Creamy Chicken Pot Pie, topped with fluffy, golden biscuits instead of a traditional crust. It is comforting and perfect for a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Biscuits: 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup cold milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Cook until the sauce thickens.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Fold in the cooked chicken and frozen peas. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish.
  7. Prepare the biscuits: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Stir in the cold milk until just combined to form a soft dough. Do not overmix.
  9. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the top of the chicken mixture, leaving small gaps between them.
  10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy that Sunday Flavor!

Notes

  • Using leftover rotisserie chicken saves significant time.
  • For richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • You can brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking for extra browning.
