Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken or turkey, shredded
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1/4 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package gluten-free biscuit dough
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot enough for baking the biscuit topping.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken or turkey with the mixed vegetables. Make sure the vegetables are thawed if using frozen.
- Sprinkle the gluten-free flour over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir well to coat the ingredients evenly with the flour.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken broth, milk, thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Once the broth mixture is simmering, pour it over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the mixing bowl. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture into a greased 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Open the package of gluten-free biscuit dough. Depending on the brand, you may need to separate the dough into individual biscuits or roll it out to cover the top of the filling.
- If using individual biscuits, place them on top of the chicken and vegetable mixture, spacing them evenly. If rolling out the dough, cut it into rounds or shapes and lay it over the filling.
- Once the biscuits are arranged on top, place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- After baking, remove the pot pie from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set slightly.
- Serve the Gluten Free Chicken or Turkey Biscuit Pot Pie warm, and enjoy your comforting meal!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can shred the chicken or turkey and chop the vegetables ahead of time. This way, when you're ready to cook, everything is ready to go!
- Use Leftovers: This recipe is a fantastic way to use up leftover chicken or turkey from a previous meal. It adds extra flavor and makes the dish even more convenient.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables or whatever you have on hand. Broccoli, green beans, or even mushrooms can make great additions.
- Check Your Biscuit Dough: Gluten-free biscuit dough can vary by brand. Make sure to follow the package instructions for the best results, whether you need to roll it out or simply place the biscuits on top.
- Don’t Skip the Resting Time: Allowing the pot pie to cool for 5-10 minutes after baking helps the filling set, making it easier to serve and enjoy without making a mess.
- Make It Extra Creamy: For an even richer filling, consider adding a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream to the broth mixture before combining it with the chicken and vegetables.
- Experiment with Herbs: While thyme adds a lovely flavor, feel free to experiment with other herbs like rosemary or sage for a unique twist.Enjoy creating this delightful dish that’s sure to become a family favorite!
