Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup chives, chopped
- 1/2 cup butter, cold
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, milk, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- For the cheddar chive biscuit topping, in a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder.
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes and work it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives into the flour mixture.
- Gradually add milk to the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the chicken mixture, covering most of the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Serve hot, garnishing with additional chopped chives if desired.
Tips
- Use cold butter for the biscuit topping to ensure a flaky, tender texture. Cut it into small cubes and work quickly to keep it cold.
- Don't overmix the biscuit dough - this can make the topping tough instead of light and fluffy.
- For extra flavor, consider using rotisserie chicken or adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the filling.
- Let the pot pie rest for 10 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and make serving easier.
- If you want a golden, glossy biscuit top, brush the dough with a little beaten egg before baking.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables - use fresh or swap out the mixed vegetables for your favorite seasonal veggies.
- For a make-ahead option, you can prepare the filling and biscuit dough separately and assemble just before baking.
