Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 ribs celery, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 (7.5 ounce) cans refrigerated biscuit dough
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion, celery, and garlic; sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens, about 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
- Pour the creamy chicken mixture into a 9×13–inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
- Separate the biscuits and arrange them over the filling, slightly overlapping to cover most of the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the pot pie rest for 5 minutes before serving to thicken the filling.
