Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients
- 2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts, (I used a Rotisserie Chicken for extra ease)
- Salt/pepper, to taste
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- ½ cup onions, finely diced
- ½ cup celery, finely diced
- ½ cup carrots, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon EACH of: Onion Powder, Dry Thyme, Dry Rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon ground sage
- 1/3 cup flour
- ½ cup half and half
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce, can sub Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Pillsbury Biscuits
Chicken Pot Pie Instructions
- Season each side of the chicken with salt and pepper. Add it to a medium saucepan along with the chicken broth and bring it to a very gentle bubble with the lid cracked for 15 minutes, until cooked through. Remove the chicken and use forks to shred. Set aside and reserve the broth that the chicken cooked in. Skip this step if using Rotisserie Chicken, like me.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a wide (12-inch) pan over medium heat and sauté onions, celery, and carrots for 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and seasonings. Toss to coat and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add in flour and toss to coat. Cook for 2 minutes or until you can no longer smell raw flour.
- Add 2/3 of the chicken broth in small amounts, stirring to incorporate. Add the half and half in the same manner.
- Add in chicken bouillon and soy sauce. Then add the shredded chicken and stir to combine.
- If the liquid was added slowly, the gravy should be pretty thick. If you would like it to be thicker, bring to a gentle boil and reduce to a simmer.
- Optional: Add any of the remaining 1/3 chicken broth if desired. The bottom of the biscuits will absorb some of it during baking.
- Add the frozen peas and stir to combine and heat through. Remove from heat.
- Transfer filling to a lightly greased 8 x 8-inch baking dish.
- Add the biscuits to the top and bake per biscuit recipe instructions, or until biscuits are golden and set in the middle. Note: you can also bake the biscuits separately on a baking sheet and place them on the filling after, resulting in a crispier bottom biscuit.
