Why Biscuits For Chicken Pot Pie Crust
I have strong-ish feelings that biscuits are better than actual pie crust when it comes to chicken pot pie. Reasons I like biscuits better:
They are easier and faster to make from scratch. They are more forgiving. They are arguably MORE delicious. They avoid the whole soggy bottom part of a traditional pot pie. THEY ARE BUTTERY LITTLE BISCUITS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

Ingredients For This Easy Chicken Pot Pie
While this is an easier version of the beloved chicken pot pie, there’s still a little bit of time and love that goes into it.
Biscuits: Flour, butter, salt, milk, the usual suspects. Filling and Sauce: chicken, vegetables, aromatics, milk, broth, white wine, and MORE BUTTER to make that delicious sauce.
Got it? Let’s go.
How To Make Homemade Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits
When starting on your pot pie adventure, there are three important Biscuit Things to consider. Gravy with vegetables and chicken in the pan, biscuits on top, a quick trip to bake in the oven in a baking dish and…. Love of your life – creamy, buttery, golden brown and savory – speaking to you right here. I can think of zero situations that are not improved drastically by a chicken pot pie with biscuits.
What To Serve with Chicken Pot Pie
This recipe has everything you need – veggies for flavor, protein from the chicken, and BISCUITS. Which is the most important part. But if you want to fill this out for a full meal, here are some more ideas.
Salad: You could do something as easy as this Simple Green Salad, or something a little more elaborate (and cozy delicious!) like this Beet and Burrata Salad or this Bacon and Brussels Sprouts Salad. Veggie: This goes great with a roasted veggie as a side, and I’m partial to these House Favorite Roasted Brussels Sprouts. Drinks: If you’ve already got the wine out for the pot pie, you might as well pour yourself a glass of that to pair with it too!
Pull this all together, and you’ve got an A+ cozy dinner party.
