Tips for Perfecting Your Pie

To ensure your biscuit topping is as fluffy and flaky as possible, remember to handle the dough gently. Avoid over-mixing the batter when incorporating the milk and cheese, as this could result in dense biscuits. A light touch will give you that desired texture that pairs wonderfully with the creamy filling below.

If you want to elevate the flavors even further, consider adding fresh herbs such as thyme or parsley to the filling. The freshness of these herbs will brighten the dish and enhance its overall flavor. Additionally, you may customize the vegetables based on seasonal availability, making it a versatile recipe that adapts to your preferences.

Ingredients

For the Biscuit Topping

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup milk

For the Chicken Pot Pie Filling

2 cups cooked chicken, diced
1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients thoroughly.

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

In a large pot, sauté onions and celery until softened. Add mixed vegetables and cooked chicken, then sprinkle with flour. Stir to combine.

Make the Sauce

Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

Prepare the Biscuit Topping

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese and milk until just combined.

Assemble and Bake

Pour the chicken filling into a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Storing and Reheating

After enjoying your Cheddar Bay Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie, you may find yourself with tasty leftovers. To store, simply cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to three days. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, the oven is your best friend for reheating, ensuring the biscuits stay crispy while the filling warms evenly.

For reheating, set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. If you prefer a quicker option, individual portions can be reheated in the microwave, but the oven method is recommended for the best texture.

Substitutions and Variations

Feel free to get creative with this recipe! If you're looking for a lighter version, you can substitute half of the heavy cream with low-fat milk or chicken broth. You can also use leftover rotisserie chicken, saving you time on cooking. The key is to maintain the creamy consistency while reducing fat content.

For a vegetarian option, consider swapping the chicken for hearty, roasted vegetables or even legumes. Adding sautéed mushrooms and spinach can add depth and flavor, making for a delicious alternative that even meat lovers will enjoy. This flexibility allows you to cater to various dietary preferences without sacrificing flavor.
