How to Make Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Grab those canned biscuits! Cut each biscuit into quarters and place them in a large bowl.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the biscuit pieces and gently toss until they’re all coated in that rich goodness.
- Bake the biscuit pieces on a lightly greased baking sheet for about 5-7 minutes until they are just starting to turn golden. This step gives them a little crispness that will make you swoon!

Fun Ways to Customize It
