Why Youโ€™ll Love This Chicken Pot Pie Recipe With Biscuits

When you think ‘comfort food dinners’ what comes to mind first? Personally, we think of meals like mac and cheese, a big pot of chili, and, of course, chicken pot pie. We love the traditional version and these mini chicken pot pies, but right now we’re obsessed with this recipe! Here are just a few reasons why:

  • Great for Using up Leftover Chicken: You’re going to want to get in on this deliciousness no matter what, but if you’ve got leftover chicken sitting in the fridge at the moment, this is really, truly for you.
  • All That Flavor: Shredded chicken is combined with carrots, peas, corn, and more, cooked in a chicken gravy, and topped with fluffy biscuits! Is it even physically possible to pass all that up?
  • One Pot Meal: We love one pot meals because they’re easy to deal with and easy to clean up! This makes them pretty perfect for weeknight dinners.

We know you love a good pot pie recipe as much as we do! We recommend you also try our easy beef pot pie recipe, our any-time-of-year turkey pot pie, and our creamy chicken and dumplings casserole!

  • Prep: Preheat the Oven to 400ยฐF and melt some olive oil and butter in an oven-safe skillet.
  • Cook the Veggies: Add onions, and sautรฉ for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add the celery and frozen mixed veggie and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. Season well.

  • Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the biscuits are a beautiful golden brown. Let the pot pie rest for about 5 minutes before serving (this allows the juices and gravy to thicken a little). Then serve as desired!

Tips for Best Results

Give these a read if you’re looking for tricks to making the best easy chicken pot pie with biscuits:

  • What Chicken to Use: You could make this instant pot shredded chicken breast, our favorite stove top shredded chicken or a Rotisserie chicken will also work great!
  • Skillet or Baking Dish: If you don’t have an oven safe skillet, it’s totally fine to transfer the chicken mixture to a baking dish, and top it with the biscuits once it’s in there.
  • Make the Filling Ahead: Prepare up until step 5, refrigerate the chicken, biscuits, and vegetable/gravy mixture separately, and then combine them all later – this can save a lot of time!

What to Serve With Chicken Pot Pie With Biscuits

Now that you’ve made this delicious chicken pot pie recipe with biscuits, what should you serve with it? Here are some of our favorites:

  • More Vegetables: Steamed broccoli is our usual go-to. It’s so good with the gravy! But also this air fryer asparagus would be a good way to get in a little more green veggies!
  • Salad: A light green salad is really all you need to serve with this recipe – it’s pretty filling. We love this easy Greek salad!

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

Chicken pot pie biscuits are so so good leftover! Here’s how to handle them.

  • Refrigerate:ย Store this chicken pot pie in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
  • Reheat: Reheat it by placing a pan on the stovetop on low heat, and cook until the whole meal is warmed through. Or, if just doing a single serving, the microwave works great!
  • Freeze:ย We don’t recommend freezing fully-baked chicken pot pie with the biscuits. You can, however, freeze the mixture of chicken, gravy, and vegetables for up to 2 months. Then, when you’re ready to eat it, warm it up in a skillet, add the biscuits, and finish the baking process.

I’ve made this several times and it’ll be hard to ever make it without biscuits going forward. I prefer this to a standard crust. If I don’t have thawed chicken available, I’ll pick up a rotisserie chicken and I’ll also sub out the milk for half and half or heavy cream, depending on what I have on hand. It’s a family favorite!

I made 2 versions of this last night. One with chicken and one with quorn. My husband and adult daughter both had the chicken version and thought it incredibly tasty. Husband says its the best pot pie he’s ever tasted. I can’t deny, I was worried as it seemed to lack herbs for flavor, but apparently it was perfect as written. I did follow the instant pot instructions for cooking the chicken which I think may have also helped as I worry that oven cooked chicken can be dry. I used flaky biscuits as that seemed pot pie appropriate! Definitely think I will make filling and freeze to use quickly in future.

Love your recipes you are amazing God bless you โค๏ธ
