Description
A comforting Chicken Pot Pie topped with flaky biscuits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 4 tbsp butter
- ½ cup finely diced onion
- ½ cup finely diced celery
- ½ cup finely diced carrots
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp each: onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary
- ¼ tsp ground sage
- ⅓ cup flour
- ½ cup half and half
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Unbaked buttermilk biscuits (homemade or refrigerated)
Instructions
- Prepare biscuits but do not bake. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add to a saucepan with chicken broth and gently simmer (do not boil) for about 15 minutes until cooked. Remove chicken, shred, and reserve broth.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, celery, and carrots for 5–6 minutes. Add garlic and seasonings; cook 1 minute.
- Sprinkle in flour and cook 2 minutes.
- Slowly add about ⅔ of the reserved broth, stirring constantly, then add half and half.
- Stir in bouillon cube, soy sauce, and shredded chicken. Simmer gently until thickened, adding more broth if needed.
- Stir in peas and remove from heat.
- Transfer filling to a lightly greased baking dish if needed, top with biscuits, and bake until biscuits are golden and set.
Notes
- 3 cups cooked chicken may be substituted, but cooking chicken in the broth adds extra flavor.
- Heavy cream can replace half and half; milk may also be used for a lighter filling.
- Diced potatoes can be added when the broth is incorporated.
- Filling can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated.
