Inside Out Chicken Potpie
This Denver Biscuit Co. copycat recipe of their chicken pot pie is SO good and easy to make at home. Flaky biscuit smothered in rich, flavorful, rustic gravy filled with vegetable and shredded chicken or turkey. Great way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers.
Ingredients
- 8-10 biscuits *see our buttermilk biscuits recipe
- 3 Tbsp butter
- ¼ cup flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- to taste salt & pepper
- 1 Tbsp Fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken or cooked turkey
- 2 medium potatoes, scrubbed and diced
- ½-1 cup carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, washed and sliced
- ½ cup sweet onion, diced
- ½ cup frozen peas
- 2 tsp corn starch with 1 Tablespoon water optional
- French fried onions or thin sliced onions crisped in an air fryer for the top. optional
Instructions
- Make or prep biscuits according to recipe or package.
- Prep all the vegetable and place in a small or medium sized pot, leaving out the frozen peas for now. Cover with water to an inch above the top. Bring to a simmer and adjust heat to hold a steady simmer for about 10 minutes. Use a fork to check a potato and a carrot for doneness. The fork should stab in easily, with still some firmness and the vegetable does not fall apart.
- Drain the veggies and add the peas in with them. The frozen peas will start to thaw as you prep the gravy.
- In a heavy bottomed small pot or large saucepan, melt the butter. Put on low heat and whisk in the flour to make a thick paste.
- Turn the heat to medium and whisk in the chicken broth, pouring slowly. I add a little at a time to make sure it stays smooth, and there are no lumps.
- Bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Whisking occasionally. Simmer for about 5 minutes as it thickens. If you would like it thicker then whisk in the optional cornstarch and water mixture.
- Add in the seasonings. Stir in. Take a taste to test for flavor. Add a little more salt to enhance the other flavors if needed.
- Add in the precooked veggies and shredded chicken or turkey. Stir over medium heat till the peas and meat are heated through.
- Ladle about 1 cup over a hot biscuit. Top with crispy onions if desired.
Notes
The gravy and biscuits can both be frozen separately.
