Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits
This easy chicken pot pie with biscuits is hearty comfort food! Made with Grands biscuits instead of a traditional crust, it's a family favorite any night of the week.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup salted butter
- 1 large potato , diced
- 3 large carrots , sliced
- 4 ribs celery , sliced
- ½ cup chopped sweet onion
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 15 ounces chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt , more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper , more to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme , or 1/4 teaspoon dried
- ½ cup half and half
- 2 cups shredded chicken , cooked turkey will work too
- ½ cup frozen peas
- 16 ounces canned biscuits , I only use 6 of the biscuits
Instructions
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 diced potato, 3 carrots, 4 ribs celery and 1/2 cup onion. Cook until the onions are tender (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in 1/4 cup flour until blended. Then slowly add 15 ounces chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme. Bring to a light boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally. Boil until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Reduce the heat to low so it is no longer at a boil. Then add a spoonful of the soup to 1/2 cup half and half to temper it. Stir together and then slow stir into the soup. Add 2 cups chicken and 1/2 cup frozen peas. Heat through and then add more salt, pepper and thyme if desired.
- Pour filling into a pie dish or 9x13" dish if desired. Then flatten biscuits and add on top of the filling.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through. Cover the top with foil if they are browning too fast. Allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Brushing egg on top: If you'd like your biscuits to have a glossy finish, brush 1 beaten egg yolk over top of the biscuits before baking.
Biscuits: I used Pillsbury flaky-style biscuits for this recipe. If you'd prefer to make homemade, try these homemade biscuits or drop biscuits. Add to the pot pie before baking.
