What You’ll Need

Gather these simple ingredients to make your own delicious Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits:

• 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
• 2 (10.5 oz) cans of cream of chicken soup
• 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 16 canned biscuits
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s make it together! Follow these simple steps to create your comforting Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature will help achieve that perfect golden crust.
2. Spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray to ensure your pot pie doesn’t stick.
3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, frozen vegetables, minced garlic, and both types of cheese. Mix until everything is well combined.
4. Pour the creamy chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
5. Now, grab the can of biscuits. Open it up and cut each biscuit into quarters. Place these pieces in a large bowl.
6. Drizzle the melted butter over the biscuit pieces and toss them gently to coat.
7. Bake the biscuits for about 5-7 minutes on a lightly greased baking sheet until they’re just beginning to brown. This will give them a nice texture when baked on top of the pot pie.
8. Remove the biscuits from the oven and carefully place them on top of the chicken mixture in the baking dish.
9. Bake, uncovered, for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the biscuits are golden brown.
10. Let it cool until it’s safe to eat – the smell will be irresistible!
11. Serve warm and enjoy the comfort it brings.
