Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups diced rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup frozen peas
- ¾ cup onion, finely diced
- 1 cup carrots, diced small
Liquid and Thickening Ingredients:
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ⅓ cup flour
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ⅔ cup milk
Seasoning and Topping Ingredients:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
- ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups baking mix (Bisquick recommended)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Position the oven rack in the upper third position and heat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius).
- Select a large oven-safe skillet and melt butter over medium-low temperature, creating a smooth cooking surface.
- Introduce diced onions and sliced carrots into the skillet, gently sautéing for approximately 5 minutes until vegetables become slightly translucent and tender.
- Add finely minced garlic and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes, allowing aromatic flavors to develop.
- Evenly distribute flour across the vegetable mixture, stirring consistently for one minute to eliminate raw flour’s inherent taste and create a foundational roux.
- Gradually incorporate chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking methodically to prevent lumps and ensure smooth consistency.
- Increase heat to generate a gentle simmer, allowing the liquid to thicken and develop a creamy texture.
- Integrate cooked chicken, chicken bouillon granules, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper into the skillet, carefully balancing seasonings to enhance overall flavor profile.
- Gently fold frozen green peas into the mixture, then remove skillet from heat source.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine baking mix, whole milk, vegetable oil, shredded cheese, and half the garlic powder, creating a cohesive biscuit dough.
- Delicately spoon biscuit mixture over the chicken filling, aiming to create approximately 9 evenly distributed biscuits.
- Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, monitoring until biscuits turn golden brown and filling becomes bubbly.
- While pot pie bakes, prepare garlic butter by mixing melted unsalted butter with remaining garlic powder.
- After removing from oven, brush warm biscuits with garlic butter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added visual appeal and flavor complexity.
