Storing and Reheating Tips

If you find yourself with leftovers after a delightful dinner, you're in luck! This Easy Chicken Pot Pie stores well in the refrigerator for up to three days. To store, simply cover the dish with plastic wrap or transfer the pot pie to an airtight container. The flavors deepen as they sit, making reheating a wonderful prospect.

When it comes to reheating, the oven is your best bet to maintain that flaky biscuit texture. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm the pot pie for about 15-20 minutes, covered with foil to prevent over-browning. If you're short on time, the microwave works, but be mindful that biscuits may lose some of their crispiness.

Instructions

Instructions:

Prepare the Filling

In a large skillet, sauté onions, carrots, and peas until tender. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add the chicken broth and milk, stirring until thickened.

Stir in chicken, corn, and seasonings.

Make the Biscuits

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined.

Assemble and Bake

Pour the chicken filling into a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit mixture on top. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Ingredient Substitutions

One of the joys of cooking is that you can frequently substitute ingredients based on availability or personal preference. If you're in a rush or looking to lighten the dish, consider using rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own. It cuts down the prep time significantly while still delivering mouthwatering flavors.

For those who prefer a dairy-free version, swap milk with almond or soy milk and use a plant-based butter substitute. Similarly, for a gluten-free option, choose a gluten-free flour blend for both the filling and biscuits without compromising on taste or texture. These substitutions allow you to enjoy this recipe while accommodating various dietary restrictions.

Serving Suggestions

To elevate your chicken pot pie experience, consider pairing it with a fresh side salad. A simple garden salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette offers a refreshing contrast to the creamy filling. Additionally, steamed broccoli or green beans make for a nutritious side that complements the dish beautifully.

For those cozy nights, a warm slice of homemade bread or soft dinner rolls can be a perfect addition. Not only do they soak up the flavorful sauce, but they also make for an inviting dining atmosphere. Set the scene with warm lighting, your favorite playlist, and good company to create memorable mealtime moments.
