Crafting Your Perfect Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits: Step-by-Step Instructions

Alright, let’s get this amazing Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits into the oven! It all comes down to building those layers of flavor and then topping it off with those fluffy biscuits. Don’t worry, it’s totally doable and so worth it!

Preparing the Flavorful Chicken Filling

First things first, we need to get our chicken all cooked and tender. Take those seasoned chicken breasts and pop them into a saucepan with your chicken broth. Let them simmer gently, covered, for about 15 minutes. You want them cooked through, not boiling like crazy. Once they’re done, take the chicken out, shred it up with two forks – it’s so satisfying! – and set aside that lovely broth. Now, grab an oven-safe skillet (this is key!) and melt your butter over medium heat. Toss in your diced onions, celery, and carrots. Let them get nice and soft, about 5-6 minutes. Then, add your minced garlic and all those wonderful dried herbs and spices: onion powder, thyme, rosemary, and sage. Give it a quick stir for about a minute until it smells amazing. Next, sprinkle in your flour and cook it for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly. This helps get rid of that raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in about two-thirds of that reserved chicken broth and your half and half. Keep stirring until it’s all smooth. Now, stir in that chicken bouillon cube and soy sauce – these are flavor boosters! Finally, add your shredded chicken back into the mix. Bring it all to a gentle boil, and if you like a thicker gravy, just let it simmer for a bit longer. Stir in those frozen peas and let them heat through. You’ve got your filling!

Assembling and Baking Your Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

Okay, the filling is ready and smelling incredible! It’s time for the best part: the biscuits. Get your biscuit dough ready according to its recipe or package directions. While that’s happening, go ahead and preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Now, carefully spoon your delicious chicken filling into your oven-safe skillet if you haven’t already. Arrange your prepared biscuits right on top of the filling. Make sure they have a little space between them so they can puff up nicely. Pop that skillet into your preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 18 minutes. You’re looking for those biscuits to be beautifully golden brown and for the filling underneath to be nice and bubbly. It’s going to smell *so* good! For more biscuit inspiration, check out our keto biscuits.

For an extra special touch, you can do what I like to call the “golden crown” treatment. Once the biscuits are mostly done, carefully brush them with a little melted butter. Then, crank the oven up to 450°F (230°C) and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes. This gives them an incredible golden-brown, extra crisp finish. Just watch them closely so they don’t burn! Serve this glorious Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits piping hot and get ready for the compliments! You can find more delicious recipes like this on our Pinterest page.

Tips for the Best Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

Making the perfect Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits is all about a few little tricks that make a big difference. Don’t stress too much, though – this recipe is pretty forgiving! A few key things will really elevate your pot pie. For super tender chicken, make sure you poach it gently in the broth, no rapid boiling allowed! And if your skillet isn’t oven-safe, no worries at all. Just transfer that gorgeous filling to a greased baking dish before you add the biscuits. It works just as beautifully!

Biscuit Perfection for Your Chicken Pot Pie

The biscuits are really the crowning glory here! Whether you’re going for homemade buttermilk biscuits, a fun Cheddar Bay recipe, or even just good ol’ store-bought refrigerated biscuits, they all bring something special. Just follow their directions closely. For the best texture, try to get them nicely browned; that little extra bake time can make all the difference between soft and *perfectly* golden.

Ensuring a Flawless Filling

Getting that gravy just right is key to a dreamy filling. Remember, if it seems a little too thin after adding the peas, just let it simmer a bit longer to thicken up. If it’s accidentally too thick, a splash more chicken broth or half and half will loosen it right up. And don’t skimp on those herbs and seasonings – they’re what give this pot pie its amazing depth of flavor!

Frequently Asked Questions about Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

Got questions about making this cozy Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits? I’ve got you covered! It’s a pretty straightforward recipe, but a few tips can make it even better.

What kind of biscuits work best for Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits?

Honestly, any biscuit you love works! Fluffy homemade buttermilk biscuits are divine, but good quality refrigerated biscuits or even a fun Cheddar Bay biscuit recipe are fantastic shortcuts. Just follow their baking instructions!

Can I use a different type of skillet?

Absolutely! If your skillet isn’t oven-safe, no sweat. Just transfer the chicken filling to a greased 8×8 inch baking dish before adding the biscuits and baking. It’ll be just as delicious!

How can I make the gravy thicker or thinner?

It’s easy! If your gravy is too thin, just let it simmer a little longer uncovered to let some liquid evaporate. If it’s too thick, stir in a bit more reserved chicken broth or half and half until it’s just right.

When you’re ready to reheat, you have a couple of great options:

Refrigerate	Oven	Cover it loosely with foil to prevent the biscuits from getting too brown. Reheat at around 350°F (175°C) until everything is nice and hot all the way through. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of your portion.
Refrigerate	Microwave	This is a quicker option, but fair warning, the biscuits might soften up a bit. Cover it loosely and reheat in short bursts, checking frequently to make sure it’s heated evenly.
