Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup onion minced
  • 4 carrots diced
  • 1/3 cup, plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 heaping tablespoon chicken flavor Better Than Bouillon dissolved in 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried ground sage
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen pearl onions
  • 1 rotisserie chicken meat removed and chopped into 1" pieces

Topping:

  • 1 (16.3 ounce) tube refrigerated flaky-style biscuits-such as Pillsbury Grands

Instructions

  • Prep. Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Saute. Melt butter (3 tablespoons) in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion (1 cup) and carrots (4). Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle flour (1/3 cup, plus 2 tablespoons) over vegetables stirring constantly, until the flour coats the vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the flour. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Broth. Return pan to medium-high heat, and whisk in chicken broth (2 1/2 cups), and dissolved Better Than Bouillon (1 heaping tablespoon). Bring to a boil, stirring up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce (1 teaspoon), half-and-half (1 cup), salt, pepper, poultry seasoning (1/2 teaspoon), thyme (1/4 teaspoon), sage (1/4 teaspoon), frozen peas (1 cup), frozen onions (1 cup), and chicken (1) and simmer a few minutes to heat through. 
  • Assemble. Transfer chicken and vegetable mixture to a 9X13 inch baking dish. Arrange biscuits on top of the filling.
  • 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.

Notes

  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
