Directions
-
Preheat your oven according to the biscuit package instructions. This step ensures that your biscuits bake to a beautiful golden brown while locking in all the tremendous flavors of the filling.
-
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté these vegetables until they soften, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. This step is essential for building a strong flavor base.
-
Stir in the flour, kosher salt, black pepper, and celery seed. Cook the mixture for an additional 1-2 minutes. This step helps the flour absorb the flavors and cook out its raw taste while thickening the filling.
-
Gradually add the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. This process is important as it creates that creamy texture we all crave in a pot pie.
-
Once thickened, fold in the diced cooked chicken and frozen mixed vegetables. Make sure everything is well combined and coated in the tremendous sauce.
-
Pour the filling into a baking dish. It’s always great to have a good-sized dish that can hold all that deliciousness without spilling over.
-
Top the filling with the biscuits evenly across the surface. Make sure they are touching but not overcrowded. This will create a delightful biscuit crust as they bake.
-
Bake according to the biscuit package instructions or until the biscuits are golden brown. The sight and scent of the biscuits rising is enough to make anyone feel excited about enjoying this meal.
-
Let the dish cool slightly before serving. This helps to prevent anyone from burning their mouths, and it also allows the flavors to settle beautifully.
