Classic Chicken Pot Pie Casserole: Deliciously Easy

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and butter a 9x12 casserole dish.

Peel and slice two medium carrots (about 1 cup of thinly sliced carrot).

Chop one medium onion (about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of chopped onion).

Thinly slice eight ounces of brown or white mushrooms.

Peel and mince three garlic cloves (about 1 tablespoon minced).

Place a dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat and melt six tablespoons of unsalted butter.

Add onions and carrots; sauté for about eight minutes or until softened.

Add mushrooms and garlic; sauté another five minutes or until mushrooms are softened.

Add flour and stir constantly for 1 1/2 to two minutes.

Add chicken stock and a little bit of heavy whipping cream; bring to a simmer and stir for another minute until thickened.

Stir in salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Add shredded rotisserie chicken, frozen peas (no need to thaw), and 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley; stir to combine and cover to keep warm.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; whisk together.

Add cold diced butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour until the largest pieces are pea-sized.

Add half and half all at once and mix until the flour is moistened and comes together; do not overmix.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat into a rectangle, and fold in half; repeat this process to create flaky layers.

Pat the dough into a 5 by 10 rectangle and use a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out eight biscuits.

Dip the cutter into flour and push straight down into the dough without twisting to ensure biscuits puff up.

Transfer the prepared chicken filling into the buttered casserole dish and spread evenly.

Top with the homemade biscuits, arranging them semi-evenly, allowing some to touch.

Bake for 25 to 28 minutes until the filling is hot and bubbly and biscuits are tall and golden brown.

Once out of the oven, brush the biscuits with melted butter for shine.

Let cool a little before serving.
