Tips for Success

To ensure your Biscuit Topping comes out light and fluffy, avoid overmixing the dough. Vigorous mixing can lead to a dense texture, which is not what you want in a pot pie. Instead, gently fold in the ingredients until just combined, allowing the baking powder to do its job once the mixture hits the oven.

For an added touch of flavor, you can experiment with different cheese varieties mixed into the biscuit dough. Parmesan or a spicy pepper jack can provide interesting and delicious notes that enhance the overall flavor profile of the pot pie. Don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings and fillings; that's part of the fun!

2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
1/2 cup onion, diced
3/4 cup cream of chicken soup
1 cup chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup milk

Make sure to have all ingredients ready before starting the cooking process.

Instructions

Directions

Prepare the Filling

In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, onion, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.

Make the Biscuit Dough

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cheddar cheese and add the milk until just combined.

Assemble the Pot Pie

Pour the chicken filling into a greased baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough on top of the filling. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.

Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving.

Storing and Reheating

If you happen to have leftovers, storing your Cheddar Bay Chicken Pot Pie is straightforward. Allow the dish to cool completely before covering it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. It's best to consume leftovers within 3-4 days to ensure optimal freshness and flavor.

When reheating, consider using an oven rather than a microwave. This helps the biscuit topping regain its crispness while thoroughly heating the filling. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), then cover the dish with foil until heated through, about 20-25 minutes.

Pairing Suggestions

To complement your Cheddar Bay Chicken Pot Pie, consider serving a light salad on the side. A fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette can balance the rich flavors of the pot pie while adding a crunch that's delightful. Alternatively, a creamy coleslaw can provide a refreshing contrast.

For beverages, a crisp white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc, enhances the flavors of the chicken and vegetables beautifully. If you prefer non-alcoholic options, a sparkling lemonade or herbal iced tea can also refresh the palate while enjoying this cozy dish.
