Ingredients for Chicken Pot Pie Filling

Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into small pieces, are perfect for this dish.

Butter: For that rich, buttery flavor, use real butter. Avoid substitutes for the best taste.

Aromatics: Onion, celery, and carrots create a flavorful base.

Fresh Herbs: Fresh oregano and thyme leaves add depth and aroma.

Peas: Frozen peas provide a touch of sweetness and a pop of color. If you prefer, green beans are a great alternative.

Seasoning: Salt, black pepper, and a pinch of celery seed enhance the flavor.

Chicken Broth: Homemade is ideal, but store-bought works well too.

Whole Milk: Essential for a creamy, thick gravy.

All-Purpose Flour: Helps thicken the gravy.

Ingredients for Homemade Biscuit Topping

You can absolutely use store-bought biscuits for a shortcut, but this homemade biscuits recipe comes together very quickly and is fantastic on top of the chicken pot pie!

All-Purpose Flour: The base for the biscuits.

Baking Powder: Ensures the biscuits rise and become fluffy.

Sugar: Adds a hint of sweetness, balancing the biscuit flavor.

Salted Butter: Use cold, nearly frozen butter for best results.

Whole Milk: Keep it cold to achieve perfect biscuit dough.

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

Prepare the Filling: Melt butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook the chicken, carrots, celery, and onion until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Add Flavor: Stir in flour, celery seed, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mixture thickens, about one minute.

Create the Gravy: Gradually stir in chicken broth, letting it thicken slightly between additions. Add the milk, then stir in peas. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat while preparing the biscuits.

Make the Biscuits: Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and sugar. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cold milk just until combined; avoid overmixing.

Shape and Bake: Roll out the dough to ½" thickness and cut into 8 biscuits. Place the biscuits on top of the chicken mixture. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer everything to a casserole dish.

Serve: Garnish with parsley if desired and enjoy hot.

Make Ahead Instructions

Filling: Prepare up to 2 days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Biscuits: Make ahead and refrigerate unbaked biscuits in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat the filling, top with biscuits, and bake as directed.

Storing & Reheating Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

Refrigeration: Leftovers keep for 3-5 days in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes for best results.

Freezing: Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven at 375°F for 20 minutes.

Tips for Making Easy Chicken Pot Pie Recipe with Biscuits

Use Precooked Chicken: For convenience, leftover or rotisserie chicken works well. However, cooking the chicken with the other ingredients enhances the flavor.

Add Potatoes: If desired, dice small potatoes and add them with the gravy. Ensure they are small enough to cook through.

Heavy Cream Option: For a richer gravy, substitute whole milk with heavy cream.

Vegetable Variations: Feel free to use different frozen vegetables like corn, green beans, or broccoli.

Biscuits: Drop biscuits, Bisquick biscuits, or even store-bought varieties work great if you’re short on time.
