Ingredients

For the Chicken Filling:

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk or cream
1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon thyme or Italian seasoning

For the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping:

2 cups biscuit mix (or homemade baking mix)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
¾ cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

In a large skillet or oven-safe pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.

2. Make the Creamy Sauce

Sprinkle in flour and stir to form a roux. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk, cooking until the mixture thickens.

3. Add Chicken and Vegetables

Stir in cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, salt, pepper, and thyme. Simmer for 5 minutes until everything is well combined.

4. Prepare the Biscuit Dough

In a bowl, mix biscuit mix, cheddar cheese, and milk until a soft dough forms.

5. Assemble the Dish

Spread the chicken filling evenly in a baking dish (if not already using an oven-safe pan). Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the top.

6. Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18–22 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

7. Add Garlic Butter Finish

Mix melted butter with garlic powder and parsley, then brush over the hot biscuits.

8. Serve and Enjoy

Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture.

What Makes This Recipe Special?

This dish replaces the traditional pie crust with cheesy, garlicky biscuits—adding more flavor, texture, and a rustic feel. The biscuits soak up just enough of the creamy filling while staying fluffy on top, creating the perfect bite every time.

Tips for the Best Chicken Pot Pie

1. Use Rotisserie Chicken

Saves time and adds extra flavor.

3. Keep Biscuit Dough Light

Avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy biscuits.

4. Space the Biscuits

Allow room for them to expand while baking.
