The creamy filling, made with tender chicken, savory vegetables, and rich cheddar cheese, is enveloped in a flaky, golden biscuit crust. Each bite delivers the flavors of a classic chicken pot pie with the added simplicity of handheld biscuits, making it a great dish for weeknight dinners or gatherings. The buttery biscuit exterior contrasts beautifully with the creamy, savory filling inside, providing a satisfying texture and taste that everyone at the table will enjoy.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, frozen vegetables, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, black pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well to combine. If the mixture seems too thick, add a bit more milk to loosen it up.
- Assemble the Biscuits: On a clean surface, separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Take each biscuit and flatten it slightly with your hands. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of each biscuit. Fold the edges up over the filling and pinch the dough to seal it in the center, creating a stuffed biscuit.
- Bake the Biscuits: Place the stuffed biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter to help them brown evenly.
- Cook Until Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking, as oven temperatures can vary.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve warm.
