While it may seem daunting to make from scratch, it’s actually quite simple with this step-by-step guide.

Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Biscuits:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

Preparing the Filling

1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the chicken breast. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
2. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool. Once cool, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
3. In the same pot, sauté the carrots, celery, and onion in a tablespoon of butter until softened.
4. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
5. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, milk, and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
6. Season with thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste.
7. Add the shredded chicken to the filling and stir to combine.

Making the Biscuits

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the cold butter and use your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the buttermilk until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few seconds.
5. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
6. Cut out 6-8 biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a large glass.

Assembling the Pot Pie

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Pour the filling into a 9-inch pie plate or casserole dish.
3. Arrange the biscuits on top of the filling.
4. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Let’s Bake & Enjoy!

Once the pot pie is baked, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Pair it with a side salad or a bowl of soup for a complete meal.

Tips for Success

• For a richer flavor, use roasted chicken instead of boiled chicken.
• Add other vegetables to the filling, such as peas, green beans, or corn.
• If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk.
• To make ahead, prepare the filling and biscuits separately and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to bake, simply assemble the pot pie and bake as directed.

Variations

• Crustless Chicken Pot Pie: Omit the biscuits and top the filling with a layer of mashed potatoes or puff pastry.
• Creamy Chicken Pot Pie: Add 1/2 cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the filling for a richer, creamier texture.
• Cheesy Chicken Pot Pie: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the filling before adding the biscuits.
