HOMEMADE POT PIE W/ DROP BISCUIT TOP
I wanted to highlight a dish now that the weather is getting colder. It doesn't require too much effort, and you can modify as you see fit to make it more intensive or less intensive.
This is a chicken pot pie with homemade biscuits as the topping. I start off with a rotisserie or a roasted bird, frozen mixed vegetables, and either homemade biscuits or store bought dough (your choice!).
Ingredients:
For the pot pie-
1 3ish pound rotisserie or fully cooked roast, skinned and shredded.
2 cups frozen mixed veggies, cooked and cooled
4 cups chicken stock or broth
4 TBSP butter
6 TBSP flour
1/2 cups milk (can be omitted entirely)
1TBSP chicken "better than bouillon" paste for additional depth.
For the biscuits –
3 cups AP flour
1.5 TBSP baking powder
2.5 tsp salt
12TBSP butter, cubed and extra cold
1-1.5 cups milk
Start off by making a roux with the butter and flour in a large pot. Turn on the stove to medium while melting the butter and flour together with the chicken paste, stirring occasionally not to burn the roux.
After about 5-8 mins, the mix should be starting to brown a bit, becoming more crumbly or paste like. You want this to be golden to lightly toasted brown.
Add in your chicken stock or broth, stirring and bring to a boil. Once it's at a boil and thickening, bring the heat down to a low simmer, and add your milk.
Add in your shredded chicken and cooked mixed vegetables to the pot and stir. This is your base for your pot pie.
Transfer to a baking dish or pan that can go into the oven safely, past 450 degrees.
At this point if you are using store bought biscuits, go ahead and preheat your oven to the instructions to cook the biscuits at. Put your biscuits on top of your pot pie, and cook to the instructions of the biscuits, plus up to 2 minutes.
To make homemade biscuits:
Preheat the oven to 450.
Mix all your dry ingredients into a bowl. Cut your butter into the dry mix with a fork or butter cutter, until the butter is incorporated and about pea sized. Add in your milk until sticky and formed.
If you have a 1.5-2oz cookie scoop, scoop onto the top of your pot pie. Alternatively, scoop with a 1/4 measuring cup and form into shape and plop on the pot pie mix. Repeat and use up the biscuit dough and toss in the oven for 18-22 mins. Take it out and let it sit for 15-20 mins to rest and then serve.
I know it's now a sweet dish, but does involve some time and effort. I'll gladly move it over to cooking if necessary!
Thanks for taking a moment to look!

Not sure, but that looks great.
Chicken N’ Biscuits is what I’ve always heard it be called. Yum!
Not really a pie though.
Definitely!! Best homemade meal
pot pie with drop biscuits are such an easy, comfort food fave of mine (but really just drop biscuits in general). my bf and i eat a ridiculous amount any time i make some. buttermilk biscuits have their time but there’s something about a humble drop biscuit that i respect hahaha
Thanks for the recipe! I’m absolutely going to be making this soon.
Never seen a chicken pot pie made like that. Interesting
I’m sure it’s delicious but just the look of pot pies freaks me out
Looks amazing
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
