Perfect for a family meal, this recipe simplifies traditional pot pie by using biscuit dough for a quick and delicious crust, baked to perfection in under an hour.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn (optional)

Roux and Sauce

  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup milk

Topping

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your casserole cooks evenly and the biscuits rise nicely during baking.
  2. Make the Roux: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir continuously until the mixture forms a smooth paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly and slightly golden, creating a flavorful roux.
  3. Add Liquid: Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk while stirring constantly. Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens and reaches a gentle boil, forming a creamy gravy consistency.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas and carrots, and frozen corn if using. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly, then remove the skillet from heat.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the chicken mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly to promote uniform cooking.
  6. Top with Biscuits: Open the biscuit dough can and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands and arrange them spaced apart on top of the chicken mixture to allow room for expansion during baking.
  7. Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and are fully cooked. This step brings together the creamy filling with a crisp, fluffy biscuit topping.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes after baking to let the filling set. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of this classic dish.

Notes

  • You can use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Frozen vegetables can be substituted or adjusted according to preference.
  • For a healthier twist, try whole wheat biscuit dough or puff pastry as a topping.
  • This casserole can be prepared ahead by making the filling and refrigerating it; add the biscuit topping only before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat thoroughly before serving.
  • Thaw frozen chicken completely before using in the recipe to ensure even cooking.
