Ingredients
  

For the filling

  • 4 cups shredded chicken (about 1 whole rotisserie chicken, pulled)
  • 2 cups celery, chopped
  • 2 cups carrots, chopped
  • 1 each yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 Tbsp butter (for sautéing vegetables)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 2 cups chicken broth Use low-sodium if watching salt.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with half-and-half for a lighter option.

For the biscuit topping

  • 1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (11.36 oz) Shortcut for flavorful biscuit topping.
  • 3/4 cup milk Combine with the biscuit mix.
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese For biscuit mix.
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted To mix with the biscuit seasoning packet.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix with 3/4 cup milk and 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar. Stir gently until no dry flour remains. Set the seasoning packet aside for later.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 3 Tbsp butter. Add chopped celery, carrots, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are softened but not browned.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup flour and 2 tsp poultry seasoning over the vegetables. Stir continuously for 60-90 seconds so the flour cooks and the raw taste disappears.
  • Slowly pour in 2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup heavy cream while stirring or whisking. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Stir in 4 cups shredded chicken until evenly distributed. Taste and adjust seasoning (add salt and black pepper if needed). Transfer filling to a 9x13-inch casserole dish if the skillet isn’t oven-safe.

Baking

  • Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit mixture over the filling, leaving tiny gaps for steam to escape.
  • Bake for 14-18 minutes until biscuits are golden and cooked through and the filling bubbles at the sides.
  • While the pot pie bakes, mix the biscuit seasoning packet with 1/4 cup melted butter. When the pot pie is done, brush the top biscuits with the seasoned butter for that Cheddar Bay shine.
  • Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Best served with a crisp green salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and eaten within 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
