Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

– 1 cup onion, chopped
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (for the biscuit topping)

– 3/4 cup milk (for the biscuits)


Instructions

Creating Classic Chicken Pot Pie With Homemade Biscuit Topping is straightforward if you follow these steps carefully:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery, cooking until soft.
2. Make the Roux: Stir in the flour, mixing well for about 1 minute before adding the chicken broth. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens.
3. Add Chicken and Seasoning: Add the shredded chicken, milk, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Stir well and then remove from heat.
4. Prepare the Biscuit Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined.
5. Assemble and Bake: Pour the chicken filling into a deep dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit batter over the filling. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.
