Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk (for biscuits)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or small casserole dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, milk, thyme, and pepper. Stir until the filling is evenly mixed.
  3. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the prepared pie dish. Spread it into an even layer.
  4. Prepare the biscuit topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in the 1/2 cup of milk until just combined to form a soft dough. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the top of the chicken filling. You should have about 6 to 8 biscuits covering the surface.
  8. Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the melted butter.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Let the pot pie cool for 5 minutes before serving. This is the ultimate comfort food dinner.

Notes

  • For a Southern Style Chicken Pot Pie, add 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the filling mixture before topping with biscuits.
  • If you need a faster option, you can substitute the homemade biscuit dough with 6 refrigerated canned biscuits, placing them on top of the filling.
  • This recipe works well as a Quick Chicken Pot Pie Casserole if you use an 8×8 inch baking dish.
