    Why Biscuits For Chicken Pot Pie Crust

    I have strong-ish feelings that biscuits are better than actual pie crust when it comes to chicken pot pie.

    Reasons I like biscuits better:

    • They are easier and faster to make from scratch.
    • They are more forgiving.
    • They are arguably MORE delicious.
    • They avoid the whole soggy bottom part of a traditional pot pie.
    • THEY ARE BUTTERY LITTLE BISCUITS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

    Ingredients For This Easy Chicken Pot Pie

    While this is an easier version of the beloved chicken pot pie, there’s still a little bit of time and love that goes into it.

    • Biscuits: Flour, butter, salt, milk, the usual suspects.
    • Filling and Sauce: chicken, vegetables, aromatics, milk, broth, white wine, and MORE BUTTER to make that delicious sauce.

    Got it? Let’s go.

    How To Make Homemade Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

    When starting on your pot pie adventure, there are three important Biscuit Things to consider.

    1. Use good butter.
    2. Grate your butter.
    3. Don’t overmix everything. Just gently bring it together, fold it out once or twice, and then cut straight down with your biscuit cutter – AS IF! More like the rim of a drinking glass. If you own a biscuit cutter you are light years ahead of me.

    Gravy with vegetables and chicken in the pan, biscuits on top, a quick trip to bake in the oven in a baking dish and….

    Love of your life – creamy, buttery, golden brown and savory – speaking to you right here.

    I can think of zero situations that are not improved drastically by a chicken pot pie with biscuits.

    Chicken Pot Pie: FAQs

    Can I use canned biscuits?

    Absolutely! Canned biscuits definitely work here. Although, if you have the time, homemade biscuits are really something special!

    Can I use turkey instead of chicken?

    Sure can! Shredded turkey would work great as a sub here.

    Can I make this pot pie vegetarian?

    Yes! Just omit the chicken, use veggie broth, and add in a bit more veggies (or even potatoes) to make it vegetarian-friendly.

    How do you reheat chicken pot pie?

    You can reheat it in the microwave or in the oven, it just depends on your preference and time you have to spare! If you want to keep the biscuits as crispy as possible, the oven will be your best bet. Heat it to 425 and pop it in uncovered for about 10 minutes until reheated through. If the biscuits start to brown, cover it with foil.

    Description

    Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits! Sautéed shallots and thyme, a splash of white wine, creamy chicken, peas, and carrots all baked under a homemade biscuit topping. YUM.


    Ingredients


    Units


    Scale

    Biscuits:

    • 2 cups flour
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 6 tablespoons very cold salted butter
    • 3/4 cup whole milk

    Filling:

    • 4 tablespoons salted butter
    • a few sprigs of thyme
    • 2 shallots, minced
    • 4 carrots, peeled and sliced thinly (about 2 cups)
    • 4 celery stalks, chopped (about 1 cup)
    • 1/4 cup flour
    • splash of dry white wine (optional)
    • 2 cups whole milk
    • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
    • 4 cups shredded chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken)
    • 2 cups frozen peas
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • squeeze of lemon juice, black pepper, etc.


    Instructions


    1. Biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together. Grate butter and work it into the dry mix with your hands. Add milk and stir gently with a fork to bring it all together. Turn dough out onto a clean counter. Fold it over a few times to get it into a 1-2 inch thick layer. Cut 6-10 biscuits from it using a biscuit cutter, rim of a drinking glass, or… just a knife. Let’s not be too precious here.
    2. Filling: Melt the butter in a large oven-safe Dutch oven or pan. Add the thyme and shallots; sauté for 5 minutes. Add the carrots and celery; sauté for 5 minutes. Add the flour; sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add a splash of wine; let it sizzle out. Slowly and gradually, add the milk and the chicken broth, stirring after each addition. The mixture should resemble a thick, creamy soup. Add chicken and peas. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
    3. Bake: Arrange biscuits on top of filling. Brush biscuits with milk or butter for extra browning. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until hot, bubbly, and biscuits are cooked through.
