What You’ll Need

To create this delicious Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits, gather the following simple ingredients:

• 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
• 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken soup
• 3 cups frozen vegetables (mix of your choice)
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 16 canned biscuits
• 2 tbsp butter (melted)

Let’s Make It Together

Now that we have our cozy ingredients ready, let’s dive into the step-by-step instructions to whip up this delightful dish:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your pie bakes evenly and comes out perfectly golden and bubbly!

2. Spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent anything from sticking.

3. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, frozen vegetables, minced garlic, and both shredded cheeses. Mix until everything is nicely combined. You want that creamy goodness to envelop every bite!

4. Pour the chicken mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

5. Now, take your can of biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters and place them in a large bowl.

6. Drizzle the quartered biscuits with the melted butter and toss them gently to coat. The butter adds a lovely richness, which will complement the creamy filling beautifully.

7. Bake the biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet for about 5-7 minutes, just until they start to get a hint of golden color.

8. Once the biscuits are slightly baked, take them out and top the chicken mixture with the biscuit pieces, arranging them evenly on top.

9. Bake the entire dish, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

10. Let it cool until it’s safe to eat—this is the hardest part!

11. Serve warm and enjoy the cozy flavors of home!
