Bisquick Chicken Pot Pie
Description
This Bisquick Chicken Pot Pie starts with sautéed aromatics—onion, celery, carrots, and garlic—creating a flavorful base. Cooked chicken and diced russet potatoes are added, then thickened with flour and simmered in a mix of chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, white wine, herbs, and half and half until the potatoes are tender. Frozen peas are stirred in at the end for sweetness and color.
The filling is poured into a casserole dish and topped with a Bisquick batter made from Bisquick mix, milk, and egg. Baking yields a golden, biscuit-like crust that contrasts with the creamy, chunky filling beneath. The mix of tender vegetables and shredded chicken in a thickened sauce offers richness and comfort.
This pot pie is suitable for oven baking or adapted to Crock Pot and Instant Pot methods by preparing the filling separately and adding the biscuit topping for baking. Using rotisserie chicken boosts homemade flavor and saves time. The dish serves as a hearty meal combining protein, vegetables, and a soft crust.
For storage, leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated, preserving the texture of the biscuit topping when warmed carefully. The recipe allows flexibility in using available chicken and adjusting seasoning to taste.
