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.

Oh, and if you want to make those little individual pot pies you have to try my KFC chicken pot pie! They’re so yummy and the whole family loves getting their own pie.

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

1. Saute. Melt butter in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrots. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
2. Sprinkle flour over vegetables stirring constantly, until the flour coats the vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the flour. Remove skillet from heat.
3. Broth. Return pan to medium-high heat, and whisk in chicken broth, and dissolved Better Than Bouillon.
4. Bring to a boil, stirring up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
5. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, half-and-half, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, thyme, sage, frozen peas, frozen onions, and chicken and simmer a few minutes to heat through.
6. Assemble. Transfer chicken and vegetable mixture to a 9X13 inch baking dish.
7. Arrange biscuits on top of the filling.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the biscuits are cooked through. If the biscuits need more color, place them under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the biscuits are nicely browned.
