Ingredients for Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping

For the Filling:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
• 3 carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 tsp thyme

For the Biscuit Topping:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 3/4 cup buttermilk

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a large skillet, sauté onions, carrots, and celery until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to coat. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth. Simmer until thickened, then stir in chicken, peas, and seasonings.

Step 2: Make the Biscuit Dough

Whisk together dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

Transfer filling to a 9×13 baking dish. Drop biscuit dough by spoonfuls over the top. Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes until biscuits are golden and filling is bubbly.

Tips for the Best Biscuit-Topped Pot Pie

• Use cold butter for flakier biscuits
• Don’t overwork the biscuit dough
• Let the filling cool slightly before adding biscuit topping
• Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra browning

Variations and Serving Suggestions

This chicken pot pie with biscuit crust is versatile. Try adding mushrooms, swapping chicken for turkey, or using different herbs. Serve with a crisp green salad for a complete meal.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or the entire dish at 350°F until warmed through. The biscuit topping will soften upon storage but remains delicious.
