Classic Chicken Pot Pie With Homemade Biscuit Topping is a beloved comfort food that combines tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and rich gravy, all enveloped in a flaky, golden biscuit topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup peas, frozen
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (for the biscuit topping)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (for the biscuits)
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, diced
  • 3/4 cup milk (for the biscuits)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery, cooking until soft.
  2. Stir in the flour, mixing well for about 1 minute before adding the chicken broth. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens.
  3. Add the shredded chicken, milk, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Stir well and then remove from heat.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined.
  5. Pour the chicken filling into a deep dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit batter over the filling. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for better flavor.
  • Taste the filling before assembling the pie.
  • Avoid overmixing the biscuit topping.
  • Allow the pie to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Experiment with herbs for added flavor.
