When I’m doing both – entertaining the kids and juggling work – I need quick and easy meals that require few dishes. This easy skillet chicken pot pie with biscuits is just that. This is Tonya here… and you are going to love this latest recipe. Thank you to Furlani for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.
I’ve already shared with you two delicious recipes using Ann’s Biscuits including the Slow Cooker Chicken Chili with Fire Roasted Cornbread Biscuits using Ann’s Biscuits – Fire Roasted Cornbread, and the Cinnamon Apple Pie Breakfast Bake using Ann’s Biscuits – Cinnamon Cream Cheese. Well, this latest delicious recipes calls for Ann’s Biscuits – Cheddar, Chive, and Garlic.
The best part is you need very few dishes to make this delicious dinner, just a cast-iron skillet, and a baking tray.
Plus, add in some veggies straight from the freezer, and a few fresh herbs, and you have a delicious dish that even the kids will love.
You will create your entire pot pie in the cast-iron skillet. Simply cook the chicken first in bite-sized pieces, set it aside once cooked, then follow the directions below, adding the chicken back into the skillet prior to popping it into the oven. It’s that easy.
You’ll want to prepare the biscuits according to the package directions, placing them on a baking tray and cooking them separately. I’ve found if you add biscuits straight onto the pot pie (prior to cooking them), the bottom gets a little soggy and doesn’t cook properly.
So, I like to cook the biscuits in the oven for 7-8 minutes, remove them, place them onto the pot pie, and then back into the oven for another few minutes.
Served immediately using a large serving spoon to scoop pot pie and a couple of biscuits into each bowl.
