Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion (diced)
- 2 carrots (diced)
- 2 celery stalks (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuit topping)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (for biscuit topping)
- 6 tablespoons cold butter (cubed, for biscuit topping)
- 3/4 cup cold milk (for biscuit topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather and measure all ingredients.
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery, cooking until softened for about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes. Slowly add chicken broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Add cream and stir until the mixture thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add cooked chicken, frozen peas, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until resembling coarse crumbs. Stir in cold milk just until combined.
- Transfer the hot filling to a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top and bake for 20-25 minutes until biscuits are golden and filling is bubbling.
- Let the pot pie rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Dish can be prepared ahead of time; store filling and biscuits separately in refrigerator.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour.
- Rotisserie chicken can be used for the filling to save time.
- Store leftover pot pie in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
