Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Cooked Chicken: You can use rotisserie chicken for a quick meal, or any leftover cooked chicken. If you want a healthier option, turkey also works well!
Frozen Mixed Vegetables: This is super convenient, but feel free to use fresh veggies like diced carrots, peas, and corn if you have them. Just cook them a bit before adding to the mixture.
Cream of Chicken Soup: If you’re looking for a lighter alternative, you can use a homemade white sauce instead. Simply melt butter, add flour, then whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth.
Biscuit Dough: If you want a healthier twist, consider using whole wheat biscuits or even a gluten-free option if needed. Alternatively, puff pastry can give a nice flaky texture!
What’s the Best Way to Ensure a Creamy Filling?
To make sure your filling is perfectly creamy and well-blended, follow these tips:
- Mix the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and milk in a separate bowl before adding it to the chicken and veggies. This helps prevent any lumps.
- Don’t overmix the ingredients; combine just until everything is coated. This keeps the chicken tender and the veggies intact.
- If you want a thicker filling, you can cook the mixture for a few minutes on medium heat before placing it in the baking dish. This will help it set up nicely in the oven!

Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, green beans)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk

- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tube (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious dish will take about 10-15 minutes to prepare, and then you’ll need to bake it for 25-30 minutes. In no time, you’ll have a hearty meal ready to enjoy!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This helps the pot pie cook evenly and the biscuits to rise perfectly.
2. Mix the Filling:
In a large bowl, add the shredded or diced cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir everything together until it’s nicely combined and all ingredients are well coated.
3. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly so that the biscuits on top will bake evenly.
4. Add the Biscuits:
Open the tube of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Place them evenly on top of the filling—don’t worry if they overlap a little, they will puff up while baking!
5. Brush with Butter:
Take a brush or a spoon and drizzle the melted butter over the biscuits. This will make them golden and delicious as they bake.
6. Bake:
Put the baking dish in the oven and let it bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and you can see the filling bubbling around the edges.
7. Cool & Serve:
Once it’s done, carefully take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This allows the filling to set a bit, making it easier to serve. Enjoy your warm, comforting Easy Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie!
FAQ for Easy Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie
Can I Use Leftover Turkey Instead of Chicken?
Absolutely! Leftover turkey is a great substitute and will give your pot pie a delicious flavor. Just shred or dice the turkey in the same way you would with chicken.
What Can I Substitute for Cream of Chicken Soup?
If you prefer a healthier alternative or if you don’t have cream of chicken soup on hand, you can make a homemade version. Simply whisk together 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1/4 cup of flour, and slowly add in 1 cup of chicken broth and 1/2 cup of milk until it’s smooth. Season with salt and pepper!
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftover pot pie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, rather than in the microwave, to help retain the biscuit’s texture.
Can I Add More Vegetables?
Definitely! Feel free to add any of your favorite vegetables, like diced potatoes, bell peppers, or spinach. Just make sure they are cooked or partially cooked before adding them to the filling to ensure even baking.
