Chicken pot pie is one of the best cold-weather foods of all time. Not only is it absolutely delicious, but it’s comforting and warm, and there’s nothing better than a big bowl of it on a cold night.
But what if you added an extra layer to chicken pot pie that made it even better?
Making the crust out of biscuits. That’s right, a layer of buttery, fluffy biscuits instead of a crust. Yum.
You will need:
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 lb boneless/skinless chicken thighs
- 1-1/2 tsp goya adobo seasoning, or to taste (you can use any seasoning of your choice)
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 2/3 cup celery, diced
- 2/3 cup carrot, diced
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried parley flakes
- 2-1/2 cup chicken stock/broth
- 3/4 cup frozen thawed peas
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tube of 8 buttermilk biscuits
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut your chicken thighs into 1 inch pieces and sauté them in olive oil. Add your seasoning of choice, and cook until all of the pink is gone. Add your onion, celery, and carrot. Cook for 5-7 minutes.
Place your butter in the pot and allow it to melt. Once it melts, add your flour and cook it for a couple of minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Add your chicken broth, parsley, and thyme.
Cook that over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add your peas and heavy cream. Cook for 10 minutes over medium heat, add any spices you feel it needs, and pour into a baking dish.
Top your filling with 8 biscuits and sprinkle with black pepper.
Bake your biscuits until golden, about 20-25 minutes, or according to package directions.
Then that’s it… you’re ready to serve!
