What you’ll need

- 1 cup cream of chicken soup – The base of your filling.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for filling and biscuit topping) – Adds a savory kick.
- 1 teaspoon onion powder – To enhance the flavor profile.
- Salt and pepper to taste – Essential seasonings.
- 1/2 cup chicken broth – For added moisture.
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour – The foundation for the biscuit topping.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder – Helps the biscuits rise.
- 1 teaspoon salt – For flavor.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed) – Creates that flaky texture.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – For richness and a cheesy crust.
- 3/4 cup milk – Brings the biscuit dough together.
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder (for a Red Lobster touch) – A must for biscuit lovers.
How to prepare it
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Mix until thoroughly combined, then spread the filling evenly in your casserole or pie dish.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit topping. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Gradually add the milk and mix just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the chicken filling, ensuring it’s covered evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Best ways to enjoy it
Once your pot pie is finished baking, you’ll want to dig in immediately! Serve it hot straight from the oven, and don’t forget to provide plenty of forks for sharing. This dish pairs wonderfully with a light side salad or roasted vegetables, balancing the richness of the pie. You can also serve it with crusty bread for sopping up the delicious filling.
Storage and reheating tips
To keep your pot pie fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to save it for later, consider freezing it before baking. Wrap the unbaked pie tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil; it can last in the freezer for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy it, bake it from frozen, adding about 10–15 minutes to the cooking time.
Helpful cooking tips
- Make sure your butter is cold; this helps create the flaky texture you want in your biscuits.
- Don’t overmix the biscuit dough. A little lumpiness is fine, and will lead to a better texture.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the filling.
- If you’re short on time, shortcut the vegetable prep by opting for a bag of frozen mixed veggies.
Creative twists
Feeling adventurous? Here are some variations to try with your pot pie:
- Swap in different cheeses—like pepper jack for a spicy kick.
- Replace the mixed vegetables with your favorites, such as green beans or broccoli.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based cream soup and cheese substitutes.
- Top your biscuit mixture with fresh herbs or additional cheese just before baking for an extra layer of flavor.
