55–65 minutes
6 servings
Budget-friendly comfort food
🥘 Ingredients for the Chicken Filling
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
3 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 carrots, diced small
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced small
1 cup frozen peas
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2½ cups chicken broth
¾ cup milk
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
🍞 Ingredients for Homemade Biscuit Crust
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold butter, cubed
¾ cup cold buttermilk, plus a little extra if needed
2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing
🍳 Let's Get Cooking!
Step 1 — Preheat the oven.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or large oven-safe skillet.
Step 2 — Cook the vegetables.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and diced potatoes.
Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Step 3 — Make that creamy country gravy!
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for about 1 minute.
Slowly pour in chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until smooth.
Add poultry seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Simmer gently for 10–12 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are tender and the sauce has thickened.
Step 4 — Add the chicken and peas.
Stir in cooked chicken and frozen peas. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish.
Step 5 — Make Grandma's biscuits!
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly stir in cold buttermilk until a soft dough forms.
Step 6 — Top that pot pie!
Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the chicken filling, leaving small spaces between them so the biscuits can bake properly.
Step 7 — Bake until golden!
Place in the oven and bake for approximately 25–30 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked in the center.
Brush the tops with melted butter.
Step 8 — Supper's ready!
Let the pot pie rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Dish up a generous helping and enjoy that wonderful homemade country goodness!
💰 Thursday's Chuckwagon Money-Saving Tip
Friends, here's a little country kitchen wisdom!
One of the easiest ways to save money in the kitchen is to use what you already have.
Got leftover chicken from Sunday dinner? Shred it up and turn it into this delicious pot pie!
Have a bag of frozen mixed vegetables in the freezer? Use those instead of buying fresh carrots, peas, and celery separately.
And if you're short on time, you can substitute refrigerated biscuits for homemade biscuit dough.
Remember, good country cooking isn't about spending a fortune. It's about making something wonderful with what the Lord has already provided!
❤️ Thursday's Food for Thought — A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way
You know, friends, as I think about old-fashioned country cooking, I'm reminded of something that seems to be disappearing in today's busy world.
The simple act of caring for our neighbors.
Years ago, when someone was sick, grieving, or going through a difficult time, neighbors often showed up with a casserole, a pot of soup, or a fresh loaf of bread.
They didn't always have the right words to say.
They didn't always know how to fix the situation.
But they showed up.
And sometimes, friends, showing up is exactly what someone needs.
A warm meal can say, "I care about you."
A phone call can say, "You haven't been forgotten."
A simple prayer can remind someone that they don't have to walk through life's struggles alone.
Today's Scripture — KJV
"And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." — Ephesians 4:32
What a beautiful reminder of how we should treat one another!
Friends, we never know what someone else may be carrying in their heart.
The person smiling at the grocery store may be grieving.
The neighbor who seems quiet may be struggling financially.
The elderly person living alone may simply be longing for someone to visit.
So today, I want to encourage you to look for one small way to show the love of Jesus to someone.
It doesn't have to cost money.
It doesn't have to be something big.
Sometimes the smallest acts of kindness leave the greatest impact.
And who knows? That little act of love might be exactly what someone has been praying for.
🤠 Thursday's Chuckwagon Question of the Day
Did your momma or grandma make chicken pot pie with a biscuit topping, a flaky pie crust, or homemade dumplings?
Every family seems to have its own special way of making this country classic!
And here's another question:
Do you remember a time when someone brought your family a homemade meal during a difficult season?
I'd love to hear your favorite pot pie memories and family traditions in the comments!
Wishing y'all a beautiful Thursday filled with good food, kindness, and the many blessings of our Lord!
