Equipment

  • 9-inch deep dish pie plate
  • Measuring cups and spoons, etc.

Ingredients

Pot Pie Filling:

  • 2 cups of tender cooked shredded rotisserie chicken, a savory tapestry of succulent poultry.
  • 2 cups of low-sodium chicken broth or stock the golden nectar that forms the base of this comforting symphony.
  • 2 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, a velvety liaison to enrich the filling.
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste the essential seasonings that dance on the taste buds.
  • 1 cup of finely chopped yellow onions adding a sweet and savory melody.
  • 1/8 cup of all-purpose flour the culinary alchemist's dust that weaves the filling together.
  • 1 teaspoon of minced thyme a fragrant herb that adds a garden-fresh undertone.
  • 1/2 cup of luscious heavy cream or half and half the creamy crescendo that envelops the ingredients.
  • 6 ounces of frozen mixed vegetables a colorful medley that paints the filling with vibrant hues.
  • 1 teaspoon of crushed dried rosemary a whisper of earthy pine that lingers on the palate.

Biscuits:

  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour the foundation for the tender biscuit embrace.
  • 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter a liquid gold that imparts richness.
  • 1/8 teaspoon of Clabber Girl Baking Soda the secret leavening agent that adds a subtle lift.
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder a subtle conductor that reduces any yeasty notes.
  • 5 tablespoons of buttermilk or whole milk the dairy duet that ensures a moist crumb.
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt the savory undertone that elevates the biscuit melody.
  • 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh parsley a burst of green freshness that crowns the biscuit composition.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C).
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes or until softened. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly add chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring to a simmer and let thicken for 2 minutes.
  • Add half and half, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine then add frozen vegetables and chicken. Simmer for 5 minutes or until heated through. Pour into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or two forks until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until just combined.
  • Drop biscuit dough by large spoonfuls onto the filling. Sprinkle parsley over top and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add more frozen vegetables.
  • To make this gluten-free, replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free 1:1 baking flour.
  • Use low-fat or fat-free half and half to reduce the fat content in the dish.
  • Add more herbs such as sage or oregano for additional flavor.
  • Add a dash of hot sauce for some heat.
    • Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles on the side.
