Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup
- 3 cups mixed frozen vegetables
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated mild cheddar cheese
Topping
- 16 canned biscuits
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, mixed frozen vegetables, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a creamy and flavorful filling.
- Add the cheese: Stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated mild cheddar cheeses into the filling mixture. The cheeses will add richness and help bind the filling together as it bakes.
- Assemble in baking dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the prepared chicken and vegetable mixture into a large baking dish, spreading it evenly over the bottom.
- Prepare biscuits: Arrange the 16 canned biscuits over the top of the chicken mixture, covering it completely. You may lightly press them to ensure even coverage.
- Brush with butter: Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the melted butter over the top of the biscuits. This will help create a golden and flaky crust during baking.
- Bake: Place the assembled dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly for easier portioning. Enjoy your comforting chicken pot pie with biscuits!
Notes
- You can substitute frozen vegetables with fresh veggies like peas, carrots, and corn for a fresher bite.
- For added flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or parsley to the filling.
- Ensure the chicken is well-cooked and shredded for the best texture.
- Use a baking dish large enough to fit all biscuit dough without overlapping for even baking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated; add a few minutes to baking if reheating in the oven for crispiness.
