The Secret to Creamy Pot Pie Filling 👀
The flour creates a roux that thickens the filling beautifully.
This keeps the sauce:
✔ rich

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.

Why Rotisserie Chicken Works So Well
Using rotisserie chicken saves time AND adds extra flavor.
It keeps the recipe:

Step 5: Add the Biscuit Topping 🧈

Step 6: Bake Until Golden
Bake for:
⏰ 18–22 minutes
Until:
✨ biscuits are golden brown

Step 7: Finish With Garlic Butter ✨
