How to Make Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray so that nothing sticks!
3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, frozen vegetables, minced garlic, and both cheeses. Mix until everything is beautifully combined.
4. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly until it’s a glorious creamy layer.
5. Grab those canned biscuits! Cut each biscuit into quarters and place them in a large bowl.
6. Drizzle the melted butter over the biscuit pieces and gently toss until they’re all coated in that rich goodness.
7. 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!
8. Top your creamy chicken mixture with the partially baked biscuits, spreading them out for an even layer of deliciousness.
9. Bake the entire dish uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, letting it bubble and turn golden brown on top. Your kitchen will smell like a dream!
10. Once baked, let it cool slightly until it’s safe to eat. Serve warm and enjoy every creamy, cheesy bite!

Fun Ways to Customize It

• Spicy Kick: Kick up the flavor with a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes for those who enjoy a bit of a kick.
• Rich Flavor: For an indulgent twist, stir in a splash of heavy cream or incorporate some cooked turkey bacon for a smoky taste.
• Cheesy Goodness: Feel free to mix different cheeses, like pepper jack for a spicy flair or gouda for its creamy depth.
