Meal Prep Made Easy

Preparation is key when it comes to juggling a busy lifestyle. This Creamy Chicken Pot Pie can be a lifesaver for those hectic days when you find yourself strapped for time. You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to two days. On the day you plan to serve it, simply make the biscuit topping, assemble your dish, and bake it fresh in the oven.

Additionally, leftover pot pie can be a delicious option for lunch the next day. Simply reheat it in the microwave or oven, and you’ll have a satisfying meal ready in no time. It’s an efficient way to ensure you make the most out of your ingredients while keeping lunch options appealing.

Perfect Pairings

To elevate your meal even further, consider pairing this creamy pot pie with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables. A light arugula salad topped with lemon vinaigrette complements the richness of the pie and helps to balance the flavors. If you prefer something heartier, roasted Brussels sprouts or green beans seasoned with garlic can enhance the meal beautifully.

For a cozy evening with friends or family, why not serve a glass of white wine alongside? A crisp Chardonnay or a Sauvignon Blanc works wonderfully with the creamy textures of the dish, making your meal feel even more special.

Ingredients

For the Pot Pie

2 cups cooked chicken, diced
1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Biscuit Topping

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3/4 cup milk

Mix the ingredients well and proceed to the next steps.

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

In a large skillet, sauté the onions until translucent. Add the mixed vegetables, chicken, salt, and pepper, and cook for a few minutes.

Make the Sauce

Sprinkle flour over the chicken and vegetable mixture and stir well. Gradually add the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously until thickened.

Prepare the Biscuit Topping

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined.

Assemble and Bake

Pour the filling into a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the top. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until biscuits are golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Pro Tips

For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the filling.

Storing and Reheating

If you have leftovers of this delicious Creamy Chicken Pot Pie, storing it properly ensures that you can enjoy it later. Allow the pot pie to cool completely before covering it tightly with plastic wrap or transferring it to an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to three days, maintaining its flavor and texture.

When you’re ready to enjoy the leftovers, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. If you're in a hurry, individual portions can be heated in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, making it a quick and satisfying meal option.

Customizing Your Pot Pie

One of the beautiful aspects of this recipe is its versatility. You can easily customize the filling to suit your taste preferences. If you're a fan of mushrooms, adding sautéed mushrooms can introduce an earthy flavor that pairs well with the dish's richness. Similarly, different vegetables like diced potatoes or spinach can add variety and nutrition.

For those who prefer a different protein, turkey or even a plant-based protein can replace the chicken. Vegetarians can use a combination of hearty vegetables and a plant-based cream to create a delicious meat-free version that still delivers on flavor.
