A creamy chicken and vegetable filling topped with buttery, golden biscuits, this easy-to-make chicken pot pie is the ultimate comfort food for chilly evenings or cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (use gluten-free flour if needed)
  • 2 cups chicken broth (low-sodium)
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk or dairy-free alternatives like almond milk)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 package biscuits (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  3. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, whisking until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the mixed vegetables and cooked chicken. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well combined and heated through.
  5. If using store-bought biscuits, follow the package instructions. For homemade biscuits, mix your biscuit ingredients in a bowl (flour, baking powder, salt, cold butter, and milk), roll out the dough, and cut into rounds.
  6. Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Place the biscuit rounds on top, slightly overlapping if needed.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Let the pot pie cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes
