When busy weeknights call for something cozy and satisfying, this 30-Minute Chicken and Biscuit Pot Pie is here to save the day. With tender chicken, a creamy thyme-infused filling, and golden biscuits baked right on top, this dish combines the hearty comfort of a pot pie with the ease of a one-pot recipe. Ready in no time, it’s perfect for fall evenings or whenever you crave a little warmth around the table.




Ingredients: 1 TBSP of butter

1/2 small yellow onion

1 can (10.5 ounces) Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup

1 1/4 cups milk

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

2 cups frozen mixed vegetables of your liking (carrots, green beans, corn, peas)

2 cups shredded roasted chicken

5 unbaked refrigerated biscuits (about 10 ounce package biscuit dough), cut in quarters

\


Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. Heat butter and onions over medium until they are translucent in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet.

  3. Stir in the soup, milk, thyme, vegetables and chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Heat over medium-high heat to a boil, stirring often.

  4. Place the biscuits on top of the mixture.

  5. Bake for 15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and done.



Notes:

If you prep the chicken ahead of time, like we do for meal prep it makes this dinner so much faster! If not, I just toss a few breasts in the air fryer on roast, chop it with the food processor and voila! For me, it’s easier than grabbing a rotisserie chicken and de-boning it.

 

And... in case you missed it... we just launched our first ever virtual cookbook.
