INGREDIENTS

With just a few simple ingredients, you can have this delicious comforting dish ready in no time! 

  • Chicken– You can use any leftover chicken or use our Shredded Chicken recipe.
  • Vegetables– We love to use the frozen mixed vegetable blend, you can use any blend of veggies. We like using the classic blend of carrots, corn, green beans, and peas. 
  • Butter– To make the creamy base for the pot pie, we use unsalted butter. You can also use salted butter but be sure to adjust the salt when seasoning. 
  • Onion– Finely chopped cooking onion adds so much flavor to this dish. 
  • Garlic– Freshly minced garlic works best for this dish. 
  • Flour– To thicken the sauce, we use all-purpose flour. 
  • Chicken Broth– For the creamy base we use chicken broth, but you can also use vegetable broth or even water with chicken bouillon. 
  • Heavy Whipping Cream– For the best results use heavy whipping cream. You can also use half-and-half creamer, you might need to adjust the flour to make it thicker. 
  • Seasoning– For the seasoning, we just use the classic salt and pepper and some Italian seasoning for added flavors.
  • Biscuits– We use our Simple Homemade Biscuit dough for this recipe. You can also use the store-bought Pillsbury biscuits for easier prep time.
