Ingredients
- Chicken – 2 cups, cooked and shredded
- Frozen mixed vegetables – 1 cup
- Chicken broth – 1 cup
- Heavy cream – 1/2 cup
- Onion – 1 small, diced
- Garlic – 2 cloves, minced
- Butter – 2 tablespoons
- All-purpose flour – 1/3 cup
- Biscuit dough – 1 can (or your favorite homemade recipe)
- Salt – to taste
- Pepper – to taste
Instructions
Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil and let it sizzle. Next, toss in your bite-sized chicken pieces. As they cook, savor the aroma filling your kitchen. Stir frequently until the chicken turns a golden brown and is cooked through. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes. Make sure to season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor!
While the chicken is cooking, chop your vegetables. You can use carrots, peas, and any other favorites you love in pot pie! Once your chicken is ready, add the chopped vegetables to the skillet. Cook everything together for about 5 minutes, allowing the veggies to soften and mingle with the chicken.
Now for the magic! Sprinkle flour over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir this in to form a roux, which will thicken your sauce. Slowly pour in chicken broth while continuously stirring. Watch your mixture transform into a creamy filling! Let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens. Remember, this is where rich flavors develop, so stir well and don’t rush!
To add that extra touch of creaminess, pour in some heavy cream. Stir gently until everything is well combined. The sauce should be luscious and velvety, coating your chicken and veggies beautifully. Taste your mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary – this is key!
Transfer your delicious filling to a baking dish. Now, for the fun part – biscuits! Open a can of biscuits and arrange the pieces on top of the chicken mixture. It’s okay if they don’t cover every inch; they’ll puff up and spread as they bake. This step is where your pie truly begins to take shape!
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the dish in the oven and let the magic happen! Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling bubbles invitingly. As it bakes, the whole house will smell delightful – you can’t resist taking a sneak peek!
Once baked, carefully remove the chicken pot pie from the oven. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. When you do, grab a spoonful and dive into the flaky biscuits and savory filling. This dish not only warms your stomach but also your soul.
Notes
