Biscuit Topped Chicken Pot Pie

After 3 attempts, and so many leftovers I don’t know what to do with, I think I’ve finally nailed this one.

I think this has to be one of my largest challenges yet. I don’t have a good track record with experimenting with chicken, which is why you don’t see a lot of chicken recipes on here… yet.

Kevin cannot get enough of this casserole. So much so, that every time I say chicken, he finishes off by yelling “CHICKEN POT PIE!” in a strange Southern accent. [I'm guilty of doing this too, so I can't make fun, only suggest that you try it yourself.]

Biscuit Topped Chicken Pot Pie

A dairy and gluten free healthy chicken pot pie is a nice change to this classic family favourite.

Inspired by: Company’s Coming Most Loved Casseroles

Ingredients

• 2 red potatoes, diced
• 1 lb cooked chicken thighs, diced
• 1/2 lb cooked chicken breast, diced

• 1 cup white mushrooms, sliced (worked out to be 6 mushrooms)
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1/4 tsp celery seed
• 1/4 tsp El Peto Onion Soup Mix (onion powder could be used too, I ran out so used what I had and it worked nicely!)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 cups cream of mushroom soup
• Biscuit dough rolled out to 1/2 inch

Note: If you don’t have the time to prepare the soup from scratch but are looking for a dairy free alternative, 2 packets of Roux Onion Gravy would work well too
