How to Make Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping 

Start this dish in the morning or afternoon in just a few easy steps, and you’ll have the most delicious Chicken Pot Pie by dinnertime!

First, set a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour until smooth. Whisk and cook the roux over 2-3 minutes, until golden.

Then stir in the onions. Cook the onions for 2-3 minutes, until soft. Then whisk in the water, chicken base, and poultry seasoning. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to form a gravy.

Set out a large 6+ quart slow cooker. Pour the gravy mixture into the slow cooker. Add the diced chicken, mixed vegetables, and parsley. Stir well.

Cover the crock and set on HIGH for 3-4 hours or on LOW for 6-7 hours. Close to dinner time, preheat the oven to 425 degrees (or the temperature listed on the can of biscuits). Use kitchen shears to snip each biscuit into 8 pieces. Spread the pieces out on a baking sheet. Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until golden.

Once the biscuit pieces are puffy and golden, stir the chicken pot filling and sprinkle the biscuit topping over the filling. Taste the filling for salt and pepper and add more if needed! Serve warm and enjoy!
