Easy Chicken Pot Pie With Biscuits Recipe

I always find joy in making a Homemade Chicken Pot Pie that is bursting with flavor. Fresh chicken, tender carrots and a medley of vegetables mingle perfectly in a creamy sauce crowned with buttery biscuits. The simplicity and comfort blend easily into my weeknight routine, making it delightful and satisfying.

I was really excited to try out this Easy Chicken Pot Pie With Biscuits recipe because it packs so many flavors in one dish. I tossed in 1 lb of fully cooked chicken with diced onions, carrots, and celery to build a hearty base.

A couple of cloves of minced garlic give it that extra punch while a splash of 1 cup milk mixed with 2 cups chicken broth creates the creamy sauce that’s just perfect. I also added in frozen peas and corn kernels to bring in some extra color and taste.

For the biscuits, mixing all-purpose flour with baking powder, salt, and a bit of melted butter not only makes them tender but they form a delightful topping that crumbles just right when baked. It’s like combining the best parts of comfort food with a twist from homemade chicken pot pie and even touches of ideas you find in recipes like Campbell’s Chicken Pot Pie Recipe.

FAQ

Easy Chicken Pot Pie With Biscuits Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you’re out of chicken, you can use turkey instead for a similar taste or even tofu if you’d prefer a veggie option
• If you need a substitute for the onion, try using a red onion or a few shallots; they add a slightly sweeter flavor
• If butter isn’t available for the filling, olive oil works well though it might change the richness a bit
• For the biscuits, if you’re low on all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour can be used; the texture might be a bit denser but it’s still tasty

Pro Tips

1. When you’re sautéeing the veggies, let ’em get a little browned so they add a deeper flavor to the dish. This little browned bits really step up the taste game.

2. Mix your flour in slowly and steadily when making the sauce. If you whisk too fast or dump it all in at once, you might end up with lumps that ruin the smoothness of your gravy.

3. For your biscuit topping, be extra careful not to overwork the dough. Stir it just until it’s combined; overmixing makes the biscuits tough and you want them light and fluffy.

4. If you wanna mix it up, try adding a pinch more of your favorite dried herbs or even a dash of paprika. It’s a simple tweak that can switch up the flavor and make your dish stand out a bit more.
