→ Chicken Pot Pie Filling

09 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 - 1 small yellow onion, diced
11 - 2 carrots, peeled and diced
12 - 2 celery stalks, diced
13 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
14 - 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
15 - 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

19 - 1 cup frozen corn
20 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
21 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
22 - 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F for baking the pot pie.
02 - In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened, then stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
03 - Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then milk, stirring constantly until smooth and beginning to thicken.
04 - Add shredded chicken, frozen peas, corn, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until sauce thickens nicely. Transfer the filling to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
05 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Cut in cold cubed butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheddar cheese and parsley. Add milk and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
06 - Drop large spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the filling. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbling around the edges.
07 - Allow the pot pie to cool for 10 minutes before serving to let the filling set slightly.

03 -
  • Brush the baked biscuits with melted butter mixed with garlic powder for extra restaurant-style flavor
  • Use a box grater for the cheese instead of pre-shredded for better melting
