Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to:

  • onions

  • carrots

Until softened and fragrant.

Add garlic and cook for another minute.

At this point your kitchen already smells incredible 😭🧄


The Secret to Creamy Pot Pie Filling 👀

The flour creates a roux that thickens the filling beautifully.

This keeps the sauce:
✔ rich
✔ creamy
✔ smooth
✔ never watery

The heavy cream + cheese combination makes it even more luxurious.


Step 3: Make the Cream Sauce

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes.

Slowly pour in:

  • chicken broth

  • heavy cream

Stir continuously until smooth and thickened.

Then mix in:
🧀 Parmesan
🧀 cheddar cheese

The sauce becomes creamy, cheesy, and unbelievably rich.


Step 4: Add Flavor & Chicken

Season with:

  • thyme

  • rosemary

  • black pepper

  • parsley

  • salt

Fold in:
🍗 shredded rotisserie chicken
🫛 peas

Let everything simmer together for a few minutes until thick and cohesive.

The filling should look creamy and comforting — almost like a thick stew.


Why Rotisserie Chicken Works So Well

Using rotisserie chicken saves time AND adds extra flavor.

It keeps the recipe:
✔ easier
✔ juicier
✔ more flavorful

Perfect for cozy weeknight dinners.


Step 5: Add the Biscuit Topping 🧈

Place the biscuits directly on top of the filling.

Don’t press them down.

Leave a little space between each biscuit so they bake up tall, flaky, and golden.


Step 6: Bake Until Golden

Bake for:
⏰ 18–22 minutes

Until:
✨ biscuits are golden brown
✨ filling is bubbling around the edges
✨ the kitchen smells unbelievable


Step 7: Finish With Garlic Butter ✨

The BEST part.

As soon as the pot pie comes out:

  • brush biscuits with melted garlic butter

  • sprinkle parsley
