Chicken Pot Pie With Biscuits
I absolutely adore chicken pot pie. The homemade rich, creamy filling in the is absolutely amazing and really sets this recipe apart from other recipes. No canned soup, all fresh scratch ingredients. It’s velvety smooth, rich, and wonderfully seasoned. I love the big chunks of chicken and a great mix of veggies.

Important Ingredient Notes, Tips + Tricks
- Biscuits: The star of this dish is obviously chicken, but those biscuits are what everyone really wants! For convenience and my weeknight schedule I typically use canned refrigerated buttermilk biscuits. Homemade biscuits are amazing to use when time permits!
- Onions: Yes, my tasty chicken pot pie with biscuits calls for pearl onions. The sweetness you get with pearl onions is unmatched! I know, I know! They’re a pain to peel, the good news is the frozen ones come already peeled! YAY! Just make sure to drain them well because they tend to hold a lot of water.
- Seasoning: What really makes any chicken recipe sing are the herbs used in the dish. Aside from thyme and sage, I use poultry seasoning to create a rich flavor profile.
Storing/Freezing Tips, Serving Recommendations
- How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? Once fully cooked, these chicken pot pie biscuits will last in your fridge for up to five days. Though, be warned: the longer the leftovers sit, the more the biscuits will lose their structure by soaking up that yummy sauce.
- Can You Freeze This? Despite the dairy content, yes, you can freeze chicken pot pies! Thoroughly cool your baked pie and properly seal it (either with your casserole lid or plastic wrap), and you can store your chicken pot pie for up to six months in the freezer.
- Make-Ahead Tips: The best way to accelerate your cooking time is to make the filling and refrigerate it until you need it. The prepped chicken pot pie filling will last in the fridge for up to five days. You’ll want to reheat your filling before you finish out the recipe though so it goes into the oven ready to bake! Either pop it in the microwave for a few minutes, until just close to bubbling or stir it on a stovetop skillet.
Step By Step How To Make Chicken Pot Pie With Biscuits

This is a family favorite-great comfort food! I bake the biscuits separately because sometimes the bottoms are soggy so when I dish out a serving, I top each one with a biscuit! YUM
Hi, Susan! That’s a great idea, thank you for sharing. So happy you like this recipe 🙂
I made the chicken pot pie twice now. We love it. To get the biscuits to brown on top I rub the top of each biscuit with some soft butter. They come out with a lovely brown top.
That’s a great idea, Millie! Thank you for sharing it with us. I’m so happy you loved this 🙂
DELICIOUS recipe! I’ve made something similar and my biscuits are always soggy underneath so I bake them separately and pop them on at the end of baking time. FAMILY FAVORITE!
Wow! Thank you so much, Susan! 🙂
My niece and my mom loved this. Next time, I’m gonna make extra batch.
That’s awesome, Yolanda! Thank you so much <3

What kind of biscuits
I used Pillsbury Grands
Made this yesterday and it was fantastic. Definitely a keeper. I did omit the Worcestershire and the biscuits were perfectly browned even though I didn’t brush them with cream. It was really cold here yesterday and this was perfect….really hit the spot!
Hi Marianne! So happy to hear it was a big hit! ❤️
What size baking dish?
Also, Worcestershire sauce? That’s not a mistake? I’m making this right now, and I wish I’d asked these questions a few days ago. ?
Hi Marianne. Sorry I’ve been out of town!! This bakes in a 9X13 inch baking dish. And yes! Worchestershire!! I hope you like this pie as much as we do <3
