I remember my grandma making pot pie during the colder months. The smell of it baking would fill the whole house, and it always felt like a warm hug. This recipe is my take on that classic, tweaked and perfected over the years to be extra delicious and easy to make. Making this, I was reminded of my time with my grandfather in my youth. Time really flies when you enjoy moments like that. I hope this pot pie becomes a cherished tradition in your home, too. My family certainly loves it. This is great for any special occasions.

What sets this recipe apart? I think it's the biscuits. Instead of a traditional pie crust, we're using light and airy biscuits that soak up the savory sauce without becoming soggy. It's a game-changer, trust me. And because sometimes, lets be honest, we’re all about skipping steps, I'll show you how to use store-bought biscuits without any shame! But If you're feeling ambitious, you can absolutely make the biscuits from scratch. Plus, I’ll share my secret for getting that perfect golden-brown biscuit top every time.

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Get the oven nice and hot. I sometimes forget and have to wait, so make sure!
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pot. Watch it carefully so it doesn't burn.
  3. Add 1 diced yellow onion, 2 chopped carrots, and 2 diced celery stalks to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. They should be tender but not browned.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. This helps thicken the sauce. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking.
  5. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of chicken broth. Make sure there are no lumps of flour. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken (about 1 pound). You can use leftover rotisserie chicken to make it easy. Check for any stray bones before adding the chicken.
  7. Stir in 1 cup of frozen peas, 1 cup of frozen corn, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and salt to taste. Mix well and let simmer for 5 minutes to heat through. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Its easy to add to much salt, so taste test!
  8. While the sauce simmers, prepare the biscuits. If using store-bought biscuits, simply open the can. If making homemade biscuits, follow your favorite recipe or use the one included below.
  9. Drop the biscuits evenly over the top of the chicken mixture in the pot. If using store-bought biscuits, you may need to cut them in half or quarters to fit. For homemade biscuits, aim for about 1-inch thickness.
  10. Brush the tops of the biscuits with 1 tablespoon of melted butter. This helps them brown nicely.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Use a toothpick to check for doneness. The internal temperature of the biscuits should reach 200°F (93°C).
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Be careful, it will be very hot!
  13. Serve hot and enjoy! This is best served immediately while the biscuits are still warm and fluffy. My family loves to eat this with a side salad!

📝 Notes

  • For richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and simmer them in the broth before shredding.
  • Add other vegetables like potatoes, mushrooms, or green beans.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the simmering sauce.
  • For homemade biscuits, use a combination of butter and shortening for a flaky texture.
  • Brush the biscuits with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) for an extra golden and glossy finish.
