Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 2 cups frozen peas and carrots
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (for filling)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuits)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2/3 cup whole milk (for biscuits)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Set your oven to 400°F and warm a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  2. Melt the butter in the skillet, then whisk in the 1/4 cup flour and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes to create a roux.
  3. Slowly add the chicken broth and 3/4 cup milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens smoothly.
  4. Stir in the shredded chicken, peas and carrots, thyme, salt, and pepper, and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes before tasting and adjusting your seasoning.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together 2 cups flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cheddar cheese, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Add the 2/3 cup milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients, and gently combine to form biscuit dough.
  7. Spoon the biscuit dough over the hot filling in the skillet, making sure to leave some space between each dollop.
  8. Bake the pot pie uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits turn a golden brown and are fully cooked.
  9. Finish by sprinkling fresh parsley on top and allow it to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful shortcut
  • Chill the biscuit dough briefly before baking for fluffier results
  • Swap veggies or cheese based on what you have on hand
  • For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
