A comforting, family-friendly chicken pot pie featuring a rich, creamy gravy filled with tender chicken and vegetables, topped with homemade flaky, buttery biscuits.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for filling)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 2 cups frozen carrots
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuits)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for biscuits)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for biscuits)
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg yolk (for glazing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Whisk buttermilk and egg yolk together, then pour into dry ingredients. Stir gently until shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn dough onto floured surface, pat into 1/2 inch thick rectangle, cut into 8-10 squares, and set aside.
  5. In a large skillet, melt 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. Sauté onion for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  6. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle 1/2 cup flour over onions and stir for 2 minutes to make a roux.
  7. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream. Simmer until thickened.
  8. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir in chicken, peas, and carrots. Remove from heat.
  9. Pour filling into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange biscuit squares on top.
  10. Brush biscuits with buttermilk or milk.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes until biscuits are golden and filling is bubbling.
  12. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter very cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix the dough. Let the pie rest for 10 minutes after baking to allow the gravy to set. Can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking.
