Ways to Top and Bake a Biscuit Crust Pot Pie
Warm Up the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature will give your chicken pot pie that perfect golden finish.
Sauté the Vegetables
Grab a large oven-safe skillet and melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Toss in your chopped vegetables:
Cook these for 3-4 minutes until they soften and start to smell amazing.
Create the Creamy Base
Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour over your sautéed vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Gradually pour in:
Whisk constantly to prevent any lumps from forming. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens up nicely.
Build the Filling
Time to add some flavor and substance. Stir in:
Let everything bubble together for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Top with Biscuits
Open your can of refrigerated biscuits and arrange them directly on top of the chicken mixture.
Brush the biscuits with 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley if you’re feeling fancy.
Bake to Perfection
Slide the skillet into your preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Watch for the biscuits to turn a gorgeous golden brown.
Rest and Serve
Pull the skillet out and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps the filling set and prevents burning your tongue.
Serve hot and enjoy your comforting meal!

Chicken Pot Pie FAQs for the Best Fluffy Biscuit Topping
Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking my own chicken?
Absolutely! Rotisserie chicken works perfectly and saves time. Just shred or chop the meat and add it to the skillet.
How do I know when the sauce is thick enough?
The sauce should coat the back of a spoon and leave a clear path when you run your finger through it. It typically takes about 5 minutes of simmering.
What if I don’t have an oven-safe skillet?
No problem. Transfer the filling to a baking dish before topping with biscuits and baking. Just make sure the dish is large enough to hold everything.
Can I freeze this dish?
Yes, prepare the entire pot pie without baking, cover tightly with foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
Are store-bought biscuits okay to use?
Definitely! Refrigerated or frozen biscuits work great and save you time in the kitchen. Just follow the package instructions for size and baking.

- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Instructions
- Warm your oven to 375°F (190°C), creating the perfect environment for a golden, bubbling pot pie.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1 finely chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 diced carrots, and 1 chopped celery stalk for 3-4 minutes until they soften and release their aromatic flavors.
- Dust ¼ cup all-purpose flour over the vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Gradually pour in 2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup whole milk, whisking carefully to prevent lumps from forming.
- Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure a smooth, creamy consistency.

Notes
- Swap rotisserie chicken with leftover roasted turkey for a delightful post-holiday meal that transforms your extra meat into something special.
- Gluten-free friends can substitute all-purpose flour with cornstarch or a certified gluten-free flour blend to keep the sauce thick and creamy.
- Cutting vegetables into uniform small pieces helps them cook evenly and ensures a consistent texture throughout the pot pie.
- For extra richness, stir a splash of heavy cream into the sauce just before adding the chicken, which deepens the flavor and creates a more luxurious filling.
