Chicken Pot Pie With Buttermilk Biscuit Topping Recipes

CHICKEN POT PIE WITH BISCUITS

Steps:

• Prepare buttermilk biscuits but do not bake. Store formed biscuits on a plate in the fridge while you prepare the pot pie, then add the formed biscuits to the top when ready to bake. Bake at 425° for 15-18 minutes. (Optional: Brush with butter and bake at 450° for up to 5 more minutes to brown the top more.)You may also use my Cheddar Bay Biscuit recipe: Combine the dry ingredients together in advance. When you're ready to bake, proceed in mixing the wet ingredients and forming the dough. Add biscuits to the top of the skillet when ready to bake. Bake at 450° for 12-15 minutes.Refrigerated biscuits may also be used. If making Bisquick biscuits or using a Biscuit mix: Prepare them JUST before baking. Refer to package for baking time/temperature.
• You may also bake the biscuits on a baking sheet while you prepare the filling, but baking them on top of the skillet of pot pie adds an extra level of cozy comfort!
• Add the uncooked chicken breast and 3 cups chicken broth to a pot and let it bubble gently with the lid cracked for 15 minutes, until cooked through. Don't boil rapidly or the chicken will be tough. Remove the chicken and use forks to shred. Set aside and reserve the broth that the chicken cooked in.
• Meanwhile, melt 4 Tbsp. butter in a wide (12-inch) pan over medium heat and sauté onions, celery, and carrots for 4 minutes. Add garlic and ½ tsp. EACH: Onion Powder, Thyme, and Rosemary along with ¼ tsp. ground sage. Toss to coat and cook for 1 more minute.
• Add flour and toss to coat. Cook for 2 minutes or until you can no longer smell raw flour.
• Add 2 cups of the chicken broth in small splashes, stirring to incorporate. Do the same with the half and half. Adding the liquid too quickly will break the roux and interfere with the thickness of the gravy.
• Add chicken bouillon and 1 tsp soy sauce. Then add the shredded chicken and stir to combine.
• If the liquid was added slowly, the gravy should be pretty thick. If you would like it to be thicker, bring to a gentle boil and reduce to a simmer.
• Optional: Add any of the remaining chicken broth if desired. The bottom of the biscuits will absorb some of it during baking. (I usually add an extra 3/4 cup. You can base this off the consistency and your personally preference.)
• Add the frozen peas and stir to combine and heat through. Remove from heat.
• Transfer filling to a lightly greased 9 x13-inch baking dish if your skillet isn't oven safe.
• Add the biscuits to the top and bake per biscuit recipe instructions, or until biscuits are golden and set in the middle. Note: you can also bake the biscuits separately on a baking sheet and place them on the filling after, resulting in a crispier bottom biscuit.
• Optional: Brush butter on top of the biscuits at the end and bake at 450° for 3-5 more minutes if additional browning is desired.

CHICKEN POT PIE WITH BUTTERMILK BISCUIT TOPPING

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix together the 2 tbsp flour and 2 tbsp butter until a thick paste forms; set aside.
• In a large skillet, cook the bacon pieces until crisp. Remove from the pan into a bowl lined with paper towel. Pour off any access grease from the pan but leave a good tablespoon in there for the rest of the recipe.
• Add the onions and celery to the skillet and cook over medium heat until the onions are transparent and starting to brown slightly. Add the broth, carrots and potatoes to the pan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes on lower heat, just until potatoes begin to get tender.
• Add the cream, bacon, corn, and chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture up to a simmer and gradually add the flour paste (in tsp sized chunks), stirring constantly. When all of the paste has been incorporated, continue to simmer and stir just until the mixture begins to thicken.
• Carefully transfer the mixture to a 9 x 13 pan and set it aside while you prepare the biscuit topping.
• In a small bowl, whisk the egg, sour cream and buttermilk; set aside. In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cayenne. Mix with a fork to combine.
• Use a grater to grate the cold butter into the flour mixture. Use a fork to gently stir and coat the butter pieces with flour.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture. Stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Dump the dough out onto a floured countertop and knead 8-10 times. The dough will be slightly sticky.
• Pat the dough into a rectangle. Lightly flour the top and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 9 x 13 rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Use a knife to cut the dough into 12 even pieces (cut the long way first, into three strips and then cut each strip into four even pieces). Top the chicken filling with the biscuit pieces, piecing them back together side by side to form the original rectangle shape.
• Bake the pie at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

BUTTERMILK BISCUIT CHICKEN POT PIE

Steps:

• BUTTERMILK BISCUIT: Prepare the butter by quartering it lengthwise and then cutting crosswise into 1/2 inch pieces. Place butter in a bowl and put it in the freezer while you prepare the dry ingredients. Measure out the dry ingredients and pulse in a food processor fitted with a metal blade until well combined. Add butter and pulse just slightly until mixture resembles very coarse cornmeal with a few larger lumps.
• Transfer mixture to a medium bowl and add the buttermilk. Stir until the dough gathers into moist clumps, adding up to 2 tablespoons extra buttermilk (adding 1 tablespoon at a time) if the dough is still dry. Transfer onto a floured work surface and form into a rough ball. Roll out the dough until it is 1/2 inch thick. Using a 2 1/2 inch pastry cutter, stamp out 8 rounds of dough.
• At this point, refrigerate the dough rounds on a cookie sheet covered with plastic wrap while preparing the pot pie filling recipe. When the pot pie filling is ready, arrange the dough rounds over the warm filling and proceed with the recipe for the pot pie.
• POT PIE: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a small stock pot. Add the chicken, cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes until chicken is just done. Transfer chicken to a bowl and reserve the leftover broth.
• Using the same pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Saute the onion, celery and carrot until tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper. Shred the chicken into bite size pieces and set aside in a bowl with the sauteed vegetables.
• Again using the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in reserved chicken broth, milk and the thyme. Bring to a simmer to thicken sauce, about 1 minute.
• Stir the chicken and vegetables into the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in peas and parsley and pour into a baking dish. Immediately top with biscuits. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
