Gather your ingredients for a delicious homemade chicken pot pie.
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Sauté the onions and garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent.
- Make the sauce: Sprinkle flour over the sautéed onions and garlic. Stir well, then slowly add chicken broth and heavy cream. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens.
- Add the chicken and vegetables: Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
- Transfer the filling: Pour the chicken mixture into a large baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Prepare the biscuits: Open the biscuit dough package and separate the biscuits. Place them evenly on top of the chicken filling.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your comforting chicken pot pie!
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: You can use leftover turkey instead of chicken or swap out the mixed vegetables for your favorites like sweet potatoes or broccoli.
- Optional variations: For an added twist, mix in some cheese—or top with a sprinkle of Parmesan before baking.
- Storage or reheating tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes until warmed throughout.
