A delicious and EASY chicken pot pie made with cooked rotisserie chicken, frozen mixed veggies, refrigerator biscuits, and a quick, creamy chicken gravy made from a mix of butter and olive oil, flour, chicken broth, and milk.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional chicken pot pie is easily one of the very best comfort food meals\u2014and for good reason! It’s a creamy chicken casserole with tender chunks of chicken and mixed vegetables nestled under a flaky, buttery crust. The trouble is that it can be a lot of work and a lot of time. This version: easy chicken pot pie with biscuits on top, has ALL the flavor, ALL the creaminess, and ALL the comfort…in half the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to making it QUICK is using the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken (or any leftover, cooked chicken or turkey), a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, and a package of refrigerator biscuits. With these helpers, all you have to do is make a homemade, creamy chicken gravy with butter and olive oil, onion, garlic, flour, chicken broth, and milk. This gravy\/sauce is unbelievably delicious<\/em> and it’s what makes this recipe a family favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Easy Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Set a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of olive oil and cook until the butter melts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next, add \u00bd cup finely chopped onion and 2 cloves-worth of minced garlic. Let that cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make the roux: stir in \u2153 cup all-purpose flour and let it cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes. The mixture will be a light golden brown color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Slowly whisk in 2 \u00be cups chicken broth and \u00bd cup of milk. I use whole milk but I believe 2% or even nonfat milk will work; they just may not produce quite the same level of creaminess. Let that mixture come to a simmer and then continue to cook until it has thickened\u2014it should be thick enough that it coats your spoon, about 5 to 8 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stir in 4 cups of chopped or shredded, cooked chicken along with 1 (10-ounce) bag of thawed mixed vegetables. Simmer until the chicken and vegetables are heated through, about 5 minutes. Taste the mixture and add salt and pepper to your liking. I usually add at least \u00bc teaspoon of salt and \u00bc teaspoon of black pepper, but NOTE: the amount of salt you add will depend on the saltiness of the chicken broth you used (regular vs. low-sodium) and whether or not your chicken was heavily seasoned (store-bought rotisserie chicken vs. plain poached chicken breast).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
