How do I get the bottom of the biscuits done?

Be sure your chicken-veggie mixture is still hot when you top it with the biscuit pieces. The biscuits need to have a jump on getting heated up from the mixture below to cook all the way through.

Can I substitute other veggies in this homemade skillet chicken pot pie with biscuits?

Yes, feel free to use whatever fresh veggies you have on hand. You’ll need 4 cups of veggies to substitute for the onions, carrots, celery, and peas in this skillet chicken pot pie with biscuit topping. Cook them as directed in Step 1 until tender before adding the flour.

Can this recipe be cooked on the stove top?

In order for the biscuits to get done, they need the heat that only the oven can provide, to brown them and get them done on the insides.

Calories per serving:430

Ingredient

1/2 cup salted butter
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped carrots (about 2 medium)
1 cup chopped celery (about 3 stalks)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups Progresso™ Classic Chicken Broth (from 32-oz carton)
1 cup 2% milk
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup frozen sweet peas
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits (8 Count)

Instructions

Step 1
Heat oven to 375°F. In 12-inch ovenproof skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, salt and pepper; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Stir in flour; cook 1 to 3 minutes or until beginning to brown. Gradually stir in broth and milk, cooking and stirring 1 to 3 minutes longer, until bubbly and thickened. Stir in chicken and peas. Remove from heat.

Step 2
Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into fourths. Top hot chicken mixture with biscuit pieces.

Step 3
Bake 21 to 25 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Recipe Tips

A cast-iron skillet looks great and also helps the biscuits brown beautifully, but easy-to-clean stainless steel works just as well.
This would be a great recipe to use with any leftover cooked turkey! Substitute cut-up cooked turkey for the cooked chicken.
Add the biscuit pieces while the chicken-veggie mixture is hot, to ensure they get done on the bottoms. If the chicken-veggie mixture has cooled down, it won’t cook the biscuits properly and they will be doughy.
We cut the biscuits into fourths to get them done faster…and they’re totally easy to eat with a fork or spoon!
