Ingredients
- 10 ounce chicken breast (boneless, skinless, cooked, shredded)
- 1.5 cup frozen mixed vegetables (thawed)
- 10.5 ounce cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 7.5 ounce refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 cup mixed greens salad
- 2 tablespoon salad dressing
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. If your 10 ounces chicken breast is not already cooked, cook it (e.g., boil, pan-fry, or bake) until cooked through, then shred.
- In a large saucepan or oven-safe skillet (about 8-inch round or square), melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 cup chicken broth until smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir in the 10 ounces shredded cooked chicken breast, 1 1/2 cups thawed frozen mixed vegetables, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
- Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish or keep in the oven-safe skillet. Arrange the biscuits from 1 (7.5-ounce) package refrigerated biscuit dough on top of the mixture.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
- While the pot pie bakes, prepare a side salad by tossing 2 cups mixed greens salad with 2 tablespoons salad dressing.
- Serve the chicken pot pie hot, garnished with 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, with the green salad on the side.
Notes
You can use leftover rotisserie chicken for quick prep. If you prefer a pastry crust, use a store-bought pie crust instead of biscuits.
