Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Drop Biscuits:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
  6. Fold in the cooked, shredded chicken and the frozen mixed vegetables. Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Prepare the drop biscuits: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Pour in the milk and stir just until combined to form a shaggy dough. Do not overmix.
  9. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the top of the chicken mixture in the baking dish.
  10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the biscuit topping is golden brown.
  11. Let the pot pie casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute store-bought refrigerated biscuit dough for the homemade drop biscuits to save time on busy weeknights.
  • For a richer flavor, use leftover roasted chicken instead of plain cooked chicken.
  • If you prefer a different topping, you can use a sheet of store-bought puff pastry instead of biscuits.
