For the Chicken Pot Pie Filling:
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 cups chicken broth
-
1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
-
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1 cup frozen corn

Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
-
Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth and slightly thickened.
-
Add chicken, carrots, peas, corn, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat.
-
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder for the biscuits. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in milk until just combined; do not overmix.
-
Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the top of the filling. Brush tops with milk for a golden finish if desired.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until biscuits are golden and cooked through. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
-
Use cold butter for the biscuits to ensure flakiness.
-
Don’t overmix the biscuit dough to keep them light and fluffy.
-
Customize vegetables based on availability or preference.
-
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze unbaked for up to 2 months.
