Ingredients

Chicken Pot Pie Filling

  • 3 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup soft white wheat flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 cups chicken, shredded 6 thighs
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1/2 tsp EACH, salt, pepper, thyme

Drop Biscuits

  • 2 cups soft white wheat flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted 1 stick
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Optional Butter and Herb topping

  • 3 Tbsp butter melted
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp Chopped parsley Fresh or dried

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400℉
  • Cook 6 chicken thighs and shred, should be approximately 2-2 1/2 cups chicken.
  • Lightly oil 9"x13" caserole dish and set aside
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly soft. Add frozen vegetables and cook until softened. Whisk in the flour. Allow flour to cook 2-3 minutes.
  • Gradually whisk chicken broth and milk into the flour mixture. Whisk constantly for 2-3 mintues while mixture bubbles and thickens. Stir in shredded chicken, vegetables and seasoning.
  • Pour the filling into prepared baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes before topping with the biscuits.

Drop Biscuits

  • Mill soft white wheat berries into flour and pour into a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add baking powder, salt, garlic powder, melted butter and milk to the flour. Mix until combined.
  • Stir in shredded Cheddar Cheese. I recommend shredding your own from a block, it melts better than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Remove casserole dish from the oven. Working quickly, use a 1/4 cup cookie scoop to evenly cover the top of the casserole with biscuits. Return to the oven and cook for another 15 minutes, until the biscuits are cooked through.
  • If using the optional butter topping, whisk together all ingredients and brush the tops of the cooked biscuits.
  • Serve immediately!
