Method
Prepare the Filling
- Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a large pot over medium heat, then add chopped onion, carrots, and celery; cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup butter until melted, then sprinkle in 1/2 cup flour and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth, then simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened to a gravy-like consistency.
- Stir in cooked chicken, frozen peas, frozen corn, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper, then simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavors and heat vegetables.
- Pour the chicken filling into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Make the Biscuits
- In a medium bowl, combine baking mix, shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder; gradually add 1/2 cup milk, stirring until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the hot chicken filling, aiming for about 8-10 biscuits.
Bake and Serve
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through and the filling is bubbly.
- While the pot pie is hot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and stir in dried parsley (if using); brush this mixture generously over the warm biscuits.
- Let the pot pie rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider sautéing a little fresh garlic with the onions, carrots, and celery. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling. You can also use leftover roast chicken or rotisserie chicken for this recipe to save time.
