Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup diced carrots (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated jumbo biscuits (8 biscuits)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (optional, for topping)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Equipment You Will Need
- Standard muffin tin or individual small oven-safe ramekins
- Medium saucepan
- Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
- Rolling pin (optional)
- Measuring cups and spoons
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a large muffin tin or individual ramekins with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- If your carrots are fresh, steam or boil them for about 5 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside along with the peas and corn.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns a light golden color and smells slightly nutty.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Add the milk and continue to stir until the sauce thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Season the sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, peas, carrots, corn, and fresh parsley. Mix everything together gently until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Open your can of jumbo biscuits and separate them. Using your fingers or a rolling pin, gently flatten and stretch each biscuit into a circle large enough to line the inside of each muffin cup or ramekin, pressing it up the sides to form a bowl shape.
- Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling generously into each biscuit cup. Do not be shy — fill them right up to the top.
- If desired, sprinkle a little shredded cheese over the top of each filled biscuit bowl for an extra golden, melty finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are deeply golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before carefully lifting each pot pie cup out. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
Tips for the Best Results
Using a rotisserie chicken is the ultimate shortcut here — it saves time and adds incredible depth of flavor to the filling. If you prefer to cook your own chicken, poaching it in seasoned broth and then shredding it works beautifully.
Make sure your filling has cooled slightly before spooning it into the raw biscuit cups. If the filling is too hot, it can make the bottom of the biscuit soggy before it has a chance to bake through properly.
If you find the biscuit edges are browning too quickly before the centers are cooked through, loosely tent the tin with a piece of aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.
Make-Ahead and Storage
The chicken filling can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you are ready to serve, simply warm the filling gently on the stovetop and assemble the biscuit cups fresh before baking. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes to keep the biscuit crust from going soft.
