Feelings coming feelings leaving that is just the way it goes.  How to surrender to the mystery I often never know.  Treat it like a weight or treat it like a never-ending dance.  All the laughter all the tears are just a part of the romance.  ~Trevor Hall

Chicken Pot Pie is one of those homey comfort dishes that can work for weeknight dinners but also perfectly special enough for company.  Or maybe even Easter dinner!  Why not? This is one of my family’s favorite meals.  Leftovers heat up great.

Caramelized onions, root veggies, and cauliflower create a succulent texture.  Add tender chicken and creamy flavorful herbed sauce top with savory biscuits and you have a masterpiece!   The biscuits come together quickly and are scooped out rather than rolled, for a faster and less messy process.

How to make the filling for Chicken Pot Pie:

Start potatoes, carrots, cauliflower steaming.  Then get the onions caramelizing with olive oil.

Sauté celery a bit with the browning onions then push to the side and add chicken chunks and herbs, cooking about 8-10 minutes. Add the wine in and deglaze the pan, scraping off all the crusty bits.

Pushing chicken to the edges, melt butter in the middle of the pan and whisk the flour in.  Add the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.

Add steamed potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, wine, black pepper and nutmeg, simmering for about 5 minutes more.

Turn off the heat, stir in cream, lemon juice and frozen peas into the chicken filling.

Season with more salt and pepper to taste.

How to make the flakiest biscuit crust:

Chilled ingredients are the key to flakey biscuits!

Grate frozen butter keeping cold while you mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and rosemary in a large bowl.  Add butter and chilled buttermilk.  Mix together just enough to form a cohesive dough.

Let dough rest for a few minutes.

Scoop 10 biscuits onto the top of the filling.

Bake in a preheated oven – 425F for 10 minutes then turn the oven down to 375F for 20 minutes.

You can also bake this in a large baking dish.

This is a recipe perfect for a spacious afternoon.  When possible, I take my time creating this pot pie, flowing with the process.  I put on a story or some tunes and then create from the heart and receive the nourishment that comes from knowing that my family will be deeply nurtured by this meal.  Food always seems to taste better with focused intention.

FAQ’S

Can this be made ahead?

The filling and the biscuit dough can be made a day ahead stored in the fridge in airtight containers.  Scoop biscuits onto the filling just before baking.  Leftovers heat up well and will keep in the fridge for a couple of days.

How do you thicken Chicken Pot Pie Filling?

We use flour as the thickener here. Feel free to sub-gluten-free flour.

Is Chicken Pot Pie unhealthy:
