Description
In this delightful recipe, I’m whipping up a comforting and hearty chicken pot pie with bisquick casserole. This dish is not only a crowd-pleaser but also a clever way to stretch your ingredients and create lots of leftovers!
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 12 oz package of frozen mixed vegetables
- Approximately 3 cups of chopped cooked chicken
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
For the Topping:
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk (for topping)
- 3/4 cup biscuit mix (e.g., Bisquick)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for topping)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the onion becomes translucent.
-
Add the frozen mixed vegetables directly from the freezer. Then, mix in the remaining cooked chicken, typically around 3 cups. Adjust the quantity as needed based on your preference.
-
Pour in the chicken broth and season the mixture with dried thyme and seasoned salt.
-
Prepare a slurry by combining 3/4 cup of milk and 3 teaspoons of cornstarch. This will act as a cream of chicken alternative.
-
Heat the chicken and vegetable mixture until it comes to a boil. Then, stir in the cornstarch slurry and heat until it thickens and returns to a boil.
-
Transfer the mixture into a 9×13-inch casserole dish. It should have a thick, creamy consistency, reminiscent of traditional chicken pot pie filling.
-
To prepare the biscuit-like topping, mix one egg, 1/2 cup of milk, biscuit mix, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. The result will be a slightly thin batter.
-
Spoon dollops of the topping over the casserole. As the topping is somewhat thin, it’s best to place it in small amounts across the casserole.
-
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the topping is cooked through and turns golden brown.
