This dish keeps things simple — and flexible — so you can make it with what you have on hand.

Creamy Filling:

  • 2–3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Garlic powder, salt, pepper, thyme to taste

👩‍🍳 How to Make Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13” or 8×11” casserole dish.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt butter. Add frozen veggies and cook until softened (3–4 min). Stir in chicken, soup, milk, broth, and seasonings. Simmer for 5 minutes until heated through.

Step 3: Assemble

Pour the filling into the baking dish. Top with biscuit dough — spaced slightly apart to allow them to expand.

Step 4: Bake

Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. If they brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through.

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

🌀 Smart Swaps & Variations

  • No cream soup? Use a roux + milk base (1 tbsp flour + 1 tbsp butter + 1 cup milk)
  • Make it vegetarian: Use mushrooms or chickpeas in place of chicken
  • Use puff pastry: For a flakier, bakery-style topping
  • Add cheese: Mix ½ cup shredded cheddar into the filling or sprinkle over the biscuits
  • Spice it up: Add a pinch of cayenne or a dash of hot sauce to the filling

🧊 Storage & Leftovers

  • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 4 days
  • Reheat: Cover and bake at 350°F until warm, or microwave individual portions
  • Freezing? Freeze filling separately, then top with fresh biscuit dough before baking
