This recipe for biscuit chicken pot pie is a creamy mixture of seasoned chicken, vegetables and herbs that's been topped with flaky cheddar biscuits and baked to perfection.

Chicken pot pie is one of those classic dishes that seems to never go out of style. It also happens to be kid friendly, which of course is always a bonus in my book. This biscuit chicken pot pie is my version of the classic – I’ve eliminated the cream in the recipe and topped the chicken mixture with light and flaky cheddar biscuits!

How do you make biscuit chicken pot pie?

What’s the first step to making chicken pot pie? The chicken of course! You have a few options here – you can roast your own chicken or buy a rotisserie chicken. I roasted bone-in skin-on chicken breasts for this recipe. After the chicken is cooked and diced it gets combined with the veggies. I use a mixture of carrots, celery onion and peas but you could also add other vegetables like corn or potatoes if you prefer.

After the chicken and veggies have cooked, it’s time to make the sauce. The sauce is really simple – a little flour is added to the pan and then milk is added to make the creamy base. I use 1% milk for this recipe and it works perfectly.

While the chicken and vegetable mixture is cooking I make a simple biscuit dough that’s flavored with cheddar cheese and a touch of garlic. The biscuit dough gets spooned over the top of the chicken mixture and the whole thing goes into the oven until the biscuits are golden brown. Dinner perfection!

      Hi do the biscuits get soggy on the bottom,? This has been my problem in the past using premade biscuit dough. Thanks!

        I haven’t had an issue with that because the sauce is on the thicker side and therefore doesn’t soak into the biscuits that much.
