Hello Dream Boy,
If I didn’t know any better, I’d think I dreamt you up. Biscuits and cream and veggies and chicken. I must must must have dreamt you up, pulled you in the oven, and put you right in my life.
I’m going to keep you around Dream Boy. I’ll get those fluffy feelings in my belly when I see you across the room. I’ll smile at you often and forever. I totally won’t stalk you on Facebook. I’ll just be here, being super cool. No biggie. High five.
I want you to get in on this recipe. I want you to think it’s a Dream Boy too.
There are three things going on here.
1. Cream Cheese, Chive and Black Pepper Biscuits
2. Creamy Cream Sauce
3. Rotisserie Chicken and Diced Veggies
I smashed them all together in a pot… then I totally fell in love.
Cream cheese helps make the biscuits extra tender, and utterly unstoppable.
I took the cream cheese left over from the biscuits and tossed it in the cream sauce. I’m a thinker. The cream sauce is rich, flavorful, and you’ll surely want to bathe with it. Don’t… it’s probably too hot.
I am crazy lazy when it comes to cooking chicken… mostly because there is a thing called Rotisserie Chicken. Already cooked! Already super delicious! Come on! I stripped the meat off of a rotisserie chicken, measured up a generous three cups and swirled it into the rich cream sauce. Hallelujah.
Note! A touch of lemon juice and fresh ground nutmeg totally set this cream sauce apart from all the rest. Brightness. Nuttiness. Depth. Trust.
Veggies are nice. Flavor, sweetness, a bit of crunch. They’re necessary. Get into it.
What are you thinking?
Did this just get bumped to the top of your weekend baking list? Say yes.
Maybe Easter Brunch? Maybe? Totally possible.
Dinner for that hardworking husband? Totally. He’ll fall on the floor and want to marry you all over again.
Chicken Pot Pie with Cream Cheese and Chive Biscuits
adapted from cookingforengineers and kingarthurflour
Makes one 9×13-inch dish with 12 biscuits
For the Biscuits:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 to 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper (depending on how spicy you like your biscuits)
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup (2 ounces) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
4 ounces (half of a brick) cream cheese, cold
3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
For the Filling:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups whole milk
4 ounces (half of a brick) cream cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
3 cups shredded chicken meat
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 cup thinly diced carrots
1 cup diced zucchini (optional)
1 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
Start by making the biscuits. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, black pepper, and chopped chives.
Add butter and cream cheese to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers to quickly incorporate the fat into the flour. Break up the butter and cream cheese with your fingers until some of the fat is the size of oat flakes and some of the fat is the size of small pebbles.
Make a small well in the center of the fat and flour mixture. Add the buttermilk. Using a fork, combine the wet and dry ingredients. Try to moisten all of the flour bits with the liquid. Dump the shaggy biscuit dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead together until dough forms a disk about 1 1/2 inches thick.
Use a round, 1 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut biscuits. Gather the dough scraps, knead for a few turns, and cut out more biscuits until no dough remains. Place biscuits on a small cookie sheet and place in the fridge until ready to bake.
Next, make the filling. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Dice onion, garlic, carrots, zucchini, and thaw the frozen peas. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in the flour. Mixture will be very thick. Heat for 1 minute. Turn flame to low and add the chicken stock. Whisk until no flour bits remain. Whisk in the milk and add the cream cheese. Heat over medium low heat, stirring often, untilcream cheese has melted and the mixture is the consistency of warm, thick pudding. Add chicken, lemon, and nutmeg. Stir. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove mixture from heat and set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter (or olive oil, if using). Add onions and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and saute for one minute more. Add carrots, zucchini, and peas. Cook for about 3 minutes. The vegetables will not be entirely cooked through. That’s ok! Remove from heat and add vegetable mixture to the creamy chicken mixture. Stir to combine.
Spoon filling into a 9×13-inch pan. Remove the biscuits from the fridge and place them on top of the filling. Brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream, buttermilk, or egg wash.
Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until biscuits are puffed and golden, and the sides of the pot pie are bubbling. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
To reheat, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Cover dish with foil and bake until warmed through, about 15 minutes. Serve.
Chicken Pot Pie will last, well wrapped in the refrigerator, for up to 4 days.

Hi Joy!
Just wanted you to know I’ve been making this recipe for years! When someone has a baby or is sick and needs a meal, when it’s chilly and we want to feel cozy, when I just want to make something totally comforting and delicious, this is my go to recipe. My kids and husband request it regularly. ?
Joy, I want you to know that all these years later this recipe is still treasured in my family. It’s requested for all decedent occasions where one wants (NEEDS) all the butter-birthdays-family gatherings-and tonight saying goodybe to 2021, a decade after you published it. Thank you for bringing so much JOY to our lives (was that corny? sorrynotsorry)
That makes me so happy Jaime!
Making this for the third time tomorrow. It’s become a bit of a Autumn staple! Love it.
Joy, I want you to know that this recipe is a day after Thanksgiving tradition for me. My friends and family think it’s seriously the best thing ever! This potpie wins hearts and minds and is great for using up leftovers. 100% winning. Thanks <3
This recipe is solid. It is often requested whenever I have guests for dinner.
I just made this recipe and It was my first time ever attempting to make a pot pie. I had my boyfriend be my test dummy and it came out amazing. It was one of the best things I’ve ever made him. I love your website. Thanks!
Joy – how far ahead can I make the biscuits? If I’m serving this for dinner, can I make the biscuits in the morning and let them sit in the fridge all day? Or do they need to be made soon before baking?
Thanks! This looks so amazing, my parents are coming for dinner on Saturday and this is the perfect meal to serve!
Um , I just made this for dinner. FABULOUS! My husband was a very happy man :)
These are my go-to biscuits!! They were amazing with sausage and bacon gravy last weekend, and they will be amazing tonight on top of beef pot pie.
my sauce was really soupy. it never became “warm and thick.” suggestions? it’s in the oven now but i know it will be delicious!
I was searching the comments to see if anyone else had this problem of the sauce being too thin as well, and by the time I found this, went to check on it, I noticed that it started to get thicker. I think you just needed to have it simmer longer.
I’m making this for my friend who just had a baby… can I make the biscuits in advance (a couple days) and freeze them, or is that a bad idea? Anyone have tips on making this (or part of it) in advance?
Anyone know what temperature to bake this? I see 300 degrees for reheating but what about when you bake it the first time? Thx!
Is it not in the recipe?? So sorry. 375 degrees f.
In the recipe up top you say “Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.”
Is it 400 or 375?
375!
Joy! I made the biscuits last night and poppped the dough in the fridge. This morning, I just pulled them out and put them in the oven. Cream cheese chive biscuits+scrambled eggs=delicious! Thank you for the recipe!
I made this for dinner last night and it was amazing! The perfect comfort for the first cold day we’ve had. Love your blog and your podcast is awesome.
I thought, after reading your post today about commenting, that I should speak up more often. SO I want to tell you that I made this on Monday! It was so wonderful and the biscuits were successful, too. I have terrible luck with biscuits but these were great. It was a great meal to get me into a ‘Fall’ mood. Thank you for sharing this :)
PS. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR BOOK TOUR!!!! I’d love to meet you when you come to the East coast (DC area gal here). ;-)
You are an incredible baker/cook!!! I found your blog via Pinterest and just made your chicken pot pie recipe a few days ago for my best friend who recently had her second baby. I am a terrible cook, but somehow was able to pull it off without burning anything. She invited me to stay for dinner with them since it was the middle of rush hour, and it turned out to be DELISH (as I assumed it would from all the gorgeous pics you posted when you made it). Thank you for inspiring me to cook and bake again. I used to all the time when I was younger, but have stopped since having kids and my husband sortof took over since he enjoys it and is good at it. Keep up your amazing work. YOU ROCK!!!
Oh man. I stumbled accross your website yesterday and we had it for dinner that same night. This recipe is the bees knees. I’m eating more right now…ooh, so yummy. I’m super eager to try some others recipes. You rock, Joy! Keep up the fantastic work.
I’m gonn a give you a bit of a backstory, though I don’t know if you will read it. I found your site a few weeks ago and I’ve been eye balling *this* recipe since then. It looked so delicious but by going to school on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Wednesday I’ve had not much of a appetite and more of the energy to even make anything! Plus, I didn’t have anyone to enjoy a meal like this with (allergies, or dislike of this and that..you know how that goes!). Well anyways, a friend asked to come over and I said sure. I asked if he wanted me to make dinner, and he said that would be nice. Our relationship is complex..if you watch Sex and the City, you can imagine us as Carrie and Mr. Big. They can be annoying to follow but even still, he’s my Mr. Big, in every way. Same attitude, same everything. Yet we have amazing chemistry. I love to bake desserts, yet I’d never baked for him so tonight was the first time he’d ever tried anything I’d made. I made *this* recipe because I wanted to try it sooo bad plus it just seemed so down home and delicious comfort food ya know? He said it was “phenomenal” and that it was half of what he had expected and twice of what he’d hoped for..he thought I was going to make a disaster meal! lol, thank you Joy. Thank you so much. This recipe was perfect, and I sent him with left overs for lunch at work tomorrow..he loved it, I loved it..and just thank you. He also loved my butter rum cupcakes! Overall, it was a nice night..dinner was lovely, and this recipe helped..even though I’d never made anything close to it before!
Thank you thank you thank you for this! I’ve been searching for pot pie with a bit extra. I cannot, CANNOT wait to try this bad boy.
I am not sure my waistline will approve but I don’t care.
neener.
thank you :D
I just made this….Life. Changing. You are a freaking genius. thanks for writing such a stellar blog!
Does anyone know how many servings this makes? If I doubled it, would it be enough for 12 people?
Thanks!
doubled would be enough for 12!
I have been planning to make this for a few weeks now and tonight finally made it. It was amazing, so delish. My husband was so impressed particualry as it looked like your picture.
Joy,
I just made this for dinner last night and it was absolutely spectacular!
The boy never ever eats dinner leftovers for next day lunch and most definitely had this again for lunch today. Thank you thank you for such a well received dinner.
success!
Made a deal with my husband tonight…he makes me this recipe for dinner, and I rub his back. I think I win. :) We’re veggie lovers, so we added corn, green beans, and a red pepper to this recipe as well. With all the extra veggies, we could have used more sauce, so I poured about another cup of chicken broth over the whole mess before I put it in the oven. We could have also doubled the biscuit recipe, because we only ended up with 9 biscuits.
It was delicious. And, as I’m sitting here typing away, he’s rubbing my feet. Best husband ever. <3
sounds amazing!! you live a good life indeed!!
I made this for my family a few weeks ago and we absolutely loved it and everyone was super impressed by it. Thank you for continuing to make great recipes with fabulous instructions!
Dare I say… this is the best meal I have ever eaten? Seriously, best comfort food ever! My picky husband, as anticipated, ate it up and requested it soon after! I have a feeling this recipe is going to be around in my house for a long, long time…
I blogged about it, too!
https://muslimahh101.blogspot.com/2011/05/chicken-pot-pie-with-cream-cheese-and.html
Joy! Joy! Joy!
Thanks for this amazing dish. I am a transplanted Iowa girl living in Australia on a VERY VERY rainy day in early winter. This is going to make the perfect comfort dinner. I cant wait.
Thank you for all your hard work every day, I love visiting you site for a little taste of home :)
I made this yesterday…for a boy, and it was perfect. thank you. :)
This is possibly the best midweek heartwarming meal over.
Also in my total laziness, I didn’t go to the store for the required buttermilk and instead substituted raw yogurt, cut down a bit with milk. Perfection.
Oh, and if your 13×9 is accidentally on the small side and the cream sauce bubbles out all over the sides (and handily onto a baking sheet beneath), it might just happen to be the best cheesy reduction you’ve ever eaten. Like creamy heaven.
*these
This are fantastic! I just made them for my grandparents who are picky eaters and they loved them so much! thank you for this recipe, Joy :)
I’ve just eaten this! I’m stuffed but satisfied. Exactly what I was looking to cook for my stressed, exhausted flatmates who have exams tomorrow. Planning to do lots more American cooking now! Thanks.
I have been eyeballing this recipe for weeks! I think it’s time to finally take the dive! Thanks for sharing :-)
Joy. I made this last night and it was ridiculously good. I mean really. I am having leftovers for lunch today and I thank you! (So does my very pleased husband)
I made this for a friend who was over to devour my cooking. I make good food and she eats it while making satisfied noises. That’s how our friendship goes. This recipe just topped her list. I don’t think she went more than two minutes in between exclamations about the deliciousness of the biscuit. Then I had three days worth of yummy leftovers. Awesome.
I made this last week and my son and I consumed every crumb in three days. The biscuit recipe is out of this world and is in my “everyday biscuit” collection. Love=Love=Love.
Your New Found Friend,
Linda
I made it last night — SO SO GOOD. I doubled the biscuit recipe because, yum, biscuits! If you’re reading this and not sure if it’s worth the effort — IT SO IS.
on any day, i go crazy over chicken pot pie. but add those biscuits….and i may not survive!
My boyfriend just moved back home, and I am soooo planning on cooking this for him. Sounds like something that’ll make him stick around, haha.
this is totally boy food.
I was dubious of the long ingredient list, but the results were so worth it! I was thinking, “Really? Nutmeg and lemon juice?” but it does taste like chicken pot pie sauce when it is all done. This is definitely a keeper of a recipe, since it is great comfort food, and the biscuits make the presentation of this dish impressive enough to make for company. Thank you for the recipe and the visual inspiration!
. . . or dinner for that hard-working wife or girlfriend :). I would rather make this my Dream Girl, not Dream Boy, anyway this dish looks amazing! I’m bookmarking this recipe.
work it out!
LOVED this recipe….such amazingly delicious comfort food! Thank you!!! I’m your newest fan & so excited to try more of your recipes!
I decided to make this to make my snotty-nosed cold, rainy day go away. Even better, I already have all the ingredients, Hooray! I never have to leave the house again and I get to eat amazing food. Awesome recipe, and it doesn’t have millions of odd ingredients to go out and buy!
Hi Joy: I just made this and it is so awesome. I made my biscuits a little smaller and I used fresh corn I cut off the cob, fresh green beans, zucchini, yellow squash, etc. and a little chipolte pepper, white pepper and paprika to slightly spice it up a bit. The biscuits were so great. Thanks so much for the recipe! I made the cinnamon pull apart bread a couple of days ago, and it, too was wonderful! Love your website. Was reading it and now I’m dying for fresh donuts :-) I guess that will be next.
My boyfriend and I just tag-teamed this delicious recipe (he was in charge of the chicken/veggie part; I was in charge of the biscuits). We used leftover Easter chicken and it was amazing!!!!! So rich and buttery and flavorful……..mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Thanks so much Joy!!
OMG. the goodness. i just about died reading this recipe.
YUM! This looks absolutely delicious! I will be adding this to my menu next week! Thanks for sharing! :)
I made this Tuesday and have been eating delicious leftovers all week! I think I dirtied every pot and pan in my tiny apartment kitchen, but it was worth it. Thanks!
Made this over the weekend and it didn’t last long. So good!
I sat here thinking, typing, erasing, thinking, typing… So this is what love feels like?
No words can describe my love for your Dream Boy nor the Genius of a woman who shared him with us… :’) Your posts make me so happy. Thankyou!
Oh holy WOW! This looks serious. Seriously good! I am definitely giving it a go this weekend.
this is killer…sooo good! I have to make it before it gets too hot and no one will eat it! Can’t wait!
You’ve done it again. This photos are great and the recipe looks wonderful. I can’t wait to try it. I love your site!
Hi Joy! You know how sometimes when you hear how great a movie is, and then you see it and it sucks? Sometimes that happens with recipes. But not this one. I think it was better than I had wanted it to be. If that is even possible!! The boyfriend even devoured it. It was the first thing I thought about when I got up today, and I am just waiting for it to get closer to lunchtime so I can eat more :) Thank you for making me want to eat home-cooked meals!
Totally gonna make it this week! YUM!
*love*
I made a half recipe of this tonight in an 8×8 glass dish, it cooked fine at 400 for 20 minutes. Husband loved it. I loved it. He’ll get leftovers for lunch… and I’ll probably make it again next week. And the next week.
And, holy poultry– rotisserie chicken? Genius. I hate cooking chicken. My local grocery had a lemon herb one. Seriously divine.
Just made this for friends from Germany and Africa… talk about excited! They loved it. I did cheat however… I bought pillsbury homestyle biscuits instead. Next time I will make them homemade for sure!
This sounds and looks like a fantastic twist on the boring but amazing pot pie I usually make. I can’t eat cream cheese though- do you think Tofutti cream cheese would work? What would you subsitutute?
Mmmm, sounds (and looks!) uber tasty!
Joy, you are officially my hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Made a gluten-free version of this today (for my Mum husband and 1 year old) and it totally rocked! How anyone keeps leftovers in the fridge (or elsewhere for that matter!) is beyond me – I’m greedily inhaling my leftovers as I type!!!!! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
Hi Joy. Made this at the weekend and it was really yummy. I substituted the white sauce for tomato sauce because my friend doesnt like creamy sauces – weird! Thanks very much for the recipe and love your amazing blog which inspired me to create my own.
i love the inside of chicken pot pie more than the crust, probably because crust is SO hard to make. i only eat my mother’s, it’s perfect every damn time. all the rambling aside, i can make biscuits and now i’m excited for this version of chicken pot pie.
My hubby would be in heaven if he found this when he came home from work. With the deluge of rain we’ve been having, I think I could turn on the oven and make some lovely comfort food. Thanks :)
I made this tonight for Easter dinner. It was divine! Thanks, Joy!
This looks like the ultimate comfort food. I want to eat it right now.
Joy! This recipe was a pleasure to make and to eat! Thank you so much, your posts and blog are my favorite.
I made just the biscuits for Easter today– they were delicious!
Looks like you had fun making this meal.
Falling for dream boy already – love the cream cheese and chives scones topping and creamy depths. I know my husband would like dream boy too – would it be to sinful (menage a trois)?
This is TOTALLY ending up on my baking list. Yes. Definitely. My mom makes something similar and boy is it yummy. Such homey, homey comfort food.
Lokks soooo tasty, will be trying it very soon!
Wow. This looks so rich and delicious and should be completely illegal!
I know ham is traditional for Easter (which really doesn’t make sense on many levels) but I have decided to make this for Easter lunch. So there. Don’t tell me different either.
Just made this last night. It was so good… my husband ate two bowls :)
I’ll be making a vegetarian version of this adding mushrooms, some cubed yukons and maybe a cubed yam or sweet potato.
I did a DEEP sigh when I read the title and set eyes on those glorious biscuits bathing in the goodness of creamy chicken goodness. I then read the recipe and melted right into it and have totally changed my plans for dinner…. I want my hubby of 23 years to marry me all over again while he is faceplanted on the floor…. Can this be true love? :O) Happy Easter!
oh gawd this looks freaking amazing Joy! plus the fact that biscuits are mine and my other half’s favorite – I’m definitely gonna try this out :D
K. I’m not sure if you actually read these or what, but I’m going to tell you a story. I’m a college student and yesterday morning I woke up and saw this recipe and fell in love with it. I went to cell bio and all I could think of was “oh god I can’t wait to make that chicken pot pie”, I counted the hours until class was over so I could go get ingredients. And when I finally got to make this last night, I seriously almost ate all of it at once. Serious props for this recipe. Serious. Props.
i totally read this! and i totally love this story!
I am so excited to make this for my boyfriend! My plan is to get him to ask me to marry him on the spot…I’ll keep you posted ;)
::uncontrollable drool::
oh joy! don’t kill me with such! this looks too good!
Glad to see that stalking potential dream boys has just been made totally legit. I’d totally stalk this on facebook….
This made me to black-out. (bad).
i mailed off Pie photos as graduation announcements. (oops). bulk ordered scratch and sniff stickers. (didn’t even know that this was an option) and sewed a pillow into the shape of a chive biscuit.(but you can’t eat pillows. womp.)
bookmarked! i would totally stalk this recipe on facebook…
haha! me too!
wow you really ought not show pregnant women such craving inducing foods…. this is sooo going to be made this coming week!!!
This look so comforting! Easter will be quiet in my house this year, and I’m suddenly thankful for that because it means I can make this and have more leftovers for myself :) Thank you for the smile!
Damn, Joy, this looks amazing. I bet it smells divine too. :)
Oooh, cream cheese and chive biscuits! I could eat just those and be happy. :)
Yum! This post inspired me to clean out my fridge, and I found two (!) boxes of cream cheese hiding in the back. And I already have the leftovers from a baked chicken from Tuesday night! Guess what’s for supper tonight?
Rachel – To make it vegetarian, I would add lots of chopped mushrooms, and maybe double the other veggies. I think mushrooms give dishes a nice “meaty” feeling without actually being … meat.
Joy, you are KILLING me. And here I was trying to behave with my eating habits. SCREW IT! I HAVE TO MAKE CHICKEN POT PIE THIS WEEKEND! I love you, thank you.
Hummm.. it looks so good !!! :)
“Did this just get bumped to the top of your weekend baking list? Say yes.”
YES! A million times yes.
Made it on Saturday…the hubby and I both loved it! This is the first proper dinner I’ve made since I was injured 8.5 months ago. How I’ve missed cooking and baking. Thank you, Joy!
Delish looks just about perfect to me
Wow. This really looks like the perfect dish for a rainy day, which today happens to be in my neck of the woods.
Oh. My. Gosh. I almost licked my computer screen! Can’t wait to make this recipe.
Love the flavor combinations in this dish! Excited to try it!
Lol, I think this seriously would make my husband want to marry me all over again!
you can never go wrong with chicken pot pie. ever. throwing cream cheese into the sauce? uh…hello! yes please.
Oh yum. This sounds very good.
I just showed my finance, he feel over….now he wants it for dinner tonight!
It works on the men I tell you! They will love you all over again…
Oh. My. Sakes alive.
My husband can’t fall on the floor because I just totally did.
Want. Need. Making for Easter.
Thank you!!! And Happy Earth Day!!!
I wish I was your dream boy. I am swooning!
Oh my goodness. I think I just died a little. That looks scrumptious!
What have I ever done to you? All of these delicious recipes to entice me with spring around the corner (or on the corner, whatever)…oh my! Well, I suppose you don’t force me to eat them. Must run now, off to get some chives.
Signed Well Fed & Undisciplined.
This looks awesome–though I’m a vegetarian…how do you think it would be if you omitted the chicken? Any veggies to sub in the place of?
Tofu?
I used veggie stock and instead of the chicken, just added broccoli and cauliflower! It turned out great – and my chicken loving boyfriend didn’t gripe at all!
I am a vegetarian too and have many suggestions for changing the chicken. I wouldn’t just skip it when there are so many tasty alternatives. Here are three I’m thinking of:
1. Trader Joe’s Chicken-less strips: they are sold by the cheese, and “look” like strips of chicken. Just cut them up and use.
2. Fry-chik: This is a canned product (like half of a normal can size) that I find at Stater Brothers. A bit softer than the chicken-less strips; I LOVE these nuggets for chicken noodle soup, and they’re what I used the last time I made chicken pot pie.
3. Tofu: For a tofu version, I would freeze the tofu first (just put the tray in the freezer after you buy it, then defrost it the next day). This makes the tofu more spongy and less prone to fall apart while you whip it into pot pie. Then I’d dice it, and let it sit in a yummy broth/marinade to give it some flavor before incorporating it into the pot pie recipe.
Mushrooms would be AMAZING. Even if you’re not a vegetarian!
This is definitely the perfect dish to serve to Dream Boy…and me! I loooove Chicken Pot Pie! :]
I am so making this next week.
I’m. In. Love.
This is a recipe that’s definitely going to be saved for later! Probably sooner than later. It looks so delicious!
you are so sweet!!! happy easter to you. I love your blog xxoo
I LOVE you JOY! (Don’t worry, not in a creepy way) :)
This was amazing! I made it tonight. I think I had a mouth-gasm! :)
I one-up-ed you though and used heart shaped cookie cutters for the biscuits and named it, “I heart you chicken pot pie” :)
You truly are my hero, Joy.
Aaaah comfort food!
The first things I uttered were, “Oh my God…” when I saw the first photo. Ugh this looks utterly too delicious!!! I must try this!
P.S. You’re the best!
This was not the first… or the last time.. that your blog post merited a run to the grocery store and change of dinner or dessert plans. I added some green beans, broccoli, corn… and a little bit of mustard powder. And then I tried not to eat the whole thing. You single handedly made my Thursday worth it.
You could make people fall in love with you with this dish! The biscuits alone sound delicious
This looks super delish! Thanks for sharing (and I totally agree about the rotisserie chicken!)
Love your blog it’s been a sunny place to visit during the last five + gloom laden months here in the, North Okanagan B.C. We had wet snow today!
This recipe looks perfect to banish chills. We are 95% vegan and I will use Gardein “chicken breasts” Earth Balance Buttery Spread and Tofutti cream cheese to veganize your recipe.
Chicken pot pie is one of my favorite comfort foods. This looks amazing and those chive biscuits look so fluffy and delicious. Thanks for sharing!
When I saw the first photo I immediately picked out which biscuit (okay, which two biscuits) that I want to eat… is it weird to do that?
I know just what to do with this recipe! I’ll feed my women friends who come to scrapbook at my house. Oh yeah.
Love the egg head er (intentional space)
love you joy,
jk
oh joy, oh my. oh happy easter to us all! YUM.
I got the JOY~JOY~JOY~JOY down in my HEART!
OMG…times 1000!
LOVE LOVE LOVE me some Chicken Pot Pie!
Got one posted on my blog right now!
Just printed this recipe.
Must try!
YOU are too CUTE!
Just sayin~
xo
The definition of Mmm Mmm Good. This begs to be the centerpiece of a potluck!
OK…maybe just ONE more super comfort food before I descend into another hellish Phoenix summer. This looks amazing.
looks AMAZING. my hubby is a huge chicken and biscuit fan – he’s gonna love this!!
Made this for dinner tonight! IT was a hit!!! We like things a bit spicy, so I added about some splashes of hot sauce and some cayenne pepper. Delish, thanks for sharing.
good lord this looks amazing. want. now.
This recipe looks so yummy. Can’t wait to try it.
Oh my gosh! The day before you posted this I made chicken pot pie but with a cream cheese pastry topping! Maybe reading your blog has made me smarter? (and mildly psychic?)
It’s cold and very un-springlike here. This will help make it all seem better!
so she means pull them out of the fridge. After she talks about preparing them, she says to put them in the fridge until ready to bake.
I def want to bathe in that cream sauce! Mmmm so wonderful!
Looks absolutely incredible! Yes, we should all sing Hallelujah for this one!!! Ty :)
WOW this looks soooooo creamy and delicious! crazy~
Mmmm, that looks fantastic. My hubby doesn’t like chicken much but I bet he’ll loooooove this :D
Just because you know I need another version of chicken pot pie to try! Dinner tonight for sure – it might just be the final chicken pot pie recipe I ever try………
Hi,
Quick question – it says make the biscuits and put them in the frig and then it says to take them out of the oven. You don’t cook the biscuits beforehand do you?
“Spoon filling into a 9×13-inch pan. Remove the biscuits from the oven and place them on top of the filling. Brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream, buttermilk, or egg wash.”
This looks so yummy and I don’t want to mess it up. TY!!
what happens if you bathe in it?
What a coincidence! My boyfriend is an engineer and this has all his favorite things in it! I must make this for him :) Thanks Joy
You are so right about the second wedding for making this. I am sure. This time I will be drinking and not with child. Happy days!
Joy, you are an inspiration!
OMG, Joy….this recipe is making me drool….it sounds so delicious. I will definitely make it within the next week. Thanks for sharing!
Joy, this looks absolutely amazing and I think I may have to make it this weekend! I do have a question though. It may be a typo, but you say to take the biscuits out if the oven and put them on top of the filling and then bake it. Did you mean to put fridge instead of oven, because aside from when you bake the whole thing I didn’t read anywhere else to put the biscuits in the oven. Just want to make sure I’ve got it right!
I was wondering the same thing! I’m guessing the biscuits come right out of the fridge though…seems like they would get overdone if they were pre-baked?
the biscuits come out of the fridge, unbaked, and bake on top of the pot pie for 20 minutes in the oven. it all bakes together!
OMG! As per usual you have outdone yourself AGAIN. I am making this tomorrow evening…
Thanks!!
Oh, my! I am swooning! I SO need this right now! Add my strawberry-rhubarb crisp, and vanilla ice cream, and this is the dinner of dreams coming true! Can’t wait to make this!
10 on the “yum-o scale”! it will be the star of my easter family/guest/partycrashers stellar brunch!
I love cooking with rotisserie chicken! I will definitely make this…looks YUMMY! Thanks for all the delicious recipes Joy!
This also seems to be in the WS mothers day catalog along with that new slow cooker from all-clad
Sounds wonderful! Could you use reduced-fat milk and reduced fat cream cheese and still have an awesome dish?
most likely!
This might be the most incredible looking chicken pot pie I’ve ever seen!
Do you mean take the biscuits out of the fridge?
Your recipe currently has the biscuits going into the fridge and out of the oven.
The dish looks great! Maybe I will save the recipe for one of those cold nights Colorado is still going to give me even though its spring.
yes, out of the fridge. sorry for the confusion. i changed the recipe in the printable form, but forgot to change it on my blog!
This looks so amazing! And I too much prefer the idea of a flavorful biscuit to the usual pastry crust…
Quick question…you put the cut biscuits into the fridge until ready to bake, but then you remove from the oven to place on top of the filling (which is then baked…). Did you par bake them in between, or do the raw biscuits come out of the fridge and go right on top of the filling?
Tell me quick so’s I can get cookin’! ;)
raw biscuits on the filling. it all bakes together!
Mmmmm – So very dreamy! Must try this soon =)
Well that just looks AMAZING! those biscuits alone, WOW! Can’t wait to try this!
This looks so fresh and delicious. Love the idea of biscuits instead of the traditional crust. Easter Brunch it is!
heck to yeeeahhh- or something cool sounding.. um my husband is SO going to want to marry me all over again… this is dinner to night. obvi!
Happy Easter Joy girl- may it be filled with the Love of Jesus and CHOCOLAAATTTTEEE!
Dying…again!
Those biscuits alone are making my palms sweat!
Umm..wow. Way to hit my weak spot Joy! Looks delicious!!!
Mmmmmmm….Your dream boy certainly looks dreamy! I could eat him up for sure! :) I definitely want to make this…maybe on Mon. or Tues. Looks so freakin’ good, and my husband’s eyes lit up when he saw your picture. Sounds like he’s attracted to Dream Boy too, eh. :)
oh yes. i always make chicken pot pie with biscuits on top. i feel like that’s the way it’s supposed to be. it just feels right, you know?
fabulous perfection, joy.
Hum this looks so good to share!!!
Soooooooooo yummy! I want to make the Cream Cheese, Chive and Black Pepper Biscuits right now! This will be a perfect way to use with my “Faux-tisserie” Chicken, love the addition of the zhucchini too. I may nix the peas altogether and just use carrots onion and zhucchini in this. It is still abnormally cold here so I think this may be on the menu next wk. Thanks!
Not going to lie, that’s probably one of your best opening statements..EVER.
That is one delish dish! And yes, now I want to make it for dinner tonight!
I am definitely making this with veggie-chicken instead. I am drooling on the screen.
I bet I could vegetarian-ize this. Maybe just add more veggies? It sounds too good not to try!
This looks so delicious, I might eat it even with those little green peas in it. That is my food shortcoming – little green peas. When I was young I would desperately try to feed them to my dog who, sadly, didn’t eat them either. I would either sub asparagus or leave them. this dish looks very comforting and delicious.
I love the idea of putting biscuits on top. Im going to do that instead of making a pastry topping next time I make a pie. I am a big fan of buying a rotisserie chicken and shredding it. Breast meat off the bone always seems to be too dry.
OMG I am totally making this for dinner! Thank you!
Joy, bless you for your hearty, meaty, not skimping on calories food. I love nothing more than indulging in quality food and I can always count on you for that! YUM!! This goes to the top of this weekend’s list!
Would I be cheating on my husband if I made this? (Dream Boy.) Hope not because it sure sounds delicious!!!!
This is so warm and comforting. It reminds me of good ol’ southern food.
Genius Joy, pure and utter genius!
May Dream Boy become a long term and happy relationship!

Oh mah goodness. This looks gorgeous! I’ve always loved chicken pot pies, but wasn’t too keen on the pastry crust–problem solved! Those biscuits sound just too amazing. Definitely bookmarking this recipe!
Amazing! If I wasn’t heading out of town, I think I’d make this right now!
This looks great! When I tried to bake biscuits on top of pot pie filling, my biscuits didn’t quite cook through to the bottom, and they were a little “doughy”…. how do I avoid this?
i think cooked, but doughy on the bottom is fine for these biscuits… they are sitting in a creamy mixture, there’s no way to get them to be completely crisp.
I’m coming right over!
Yes, I did indeed just fall in love. I want this Dream Boy in my life. Right. Now.
This looks and sounds delicious. Has everything, color, texture, nutrition, creaminess…I will nominate you to Top Chef Masters and James Beard Awards!
Picture perfect! This is so incredibly beautiful! Bookmarked, printed out, you name it!
mmmm YUM YUM YUM YUM
This is a dream come true indeed! I love the biscuit topping…always the best part ;)
So gorgeous! Love the commentary, photos, everything. You are AMAZING!!!
What are you doing to me?! I need this in my mouth.
I totally think we would be friends if we knew each other in real life. Maybe. You might be too cool for me. :)
I think I drooled on my desk…I will pretend my tuna salad is this pot pie at lunch today. It’s not nice to tease a pregnant woman with food! ;)
This popped up in my news feed and I went “OH MY… YES. Yes yes yes.”
Thank you. I’m sure this will be a big hit in our house this week-end.
mmm…I’m ogling Dream Boy’s biscuits. rawr.
Holy heck this looks good! My hubby doesn’t care for veggies too much, so I don’t usually make stuff with veggies in them. Not this time, baby. More for me is what I’m sayin’!
I use a rotisserie chicken every time I make chicken pot pie. The chicken just melts in your mouth. Its my secret to a lot of the chicken recipes I make. Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful Easter!
I don’t even eat chicken and I want to make this. I think that a veggie version is in order this weekend!
I must have this in my life!
Thanks for the recipe!
Ashlae, please, try to veganize this…it’s wonderful, awesome, heaven…
This is dinner tonight!!! awesome, thanks so much.
I don’t think I will go as far as to veganize it, but I figure a couple of cups of additional vegetables – parsnips, roasted potatoes, some broccoli – will allow me to eat it without worrying about chicken. I have tons of vegetable stock!
Okay so usually I am not a super fan of fake meat but I think I am going to have to schlep over to Trader J’s and get some fake chicken and fake cream cheese and fake everything and see if I can make this taste 1/2 as good as it must taste without all the substitutes. It’s just so beautiful. Can’t. look. away.
you can make it and I’ll eat it and tell you how delicious it is.
I want to go to there.
Brilliant! Definitely going to the top of my weeknight dinner list.
Will you please be my wife in my next life….
I was just talking about how I didn’t *get* the chicken & dumpling/pot pie thing.
Seeing this, I totally get it.
Thanks for showing me the (delicious) light.
This is going to be in my belly on Saturday.
Oh my! Genius! We don’t live on the same continent but you must know me on some level! ;-) Because this is just what I needed! Love and comfort in a cream sauce! Definitely definitely definitely on my weekend baking list!
This looks so delicious. I’m just about to go to lunch with my coworkers, and I’m really bummed now that I can’t have this for lunch.
I bet you totally dialed Dream Boy’s number on that rotary biscuit phone. Then hung up when he answered.
i love you.
My guys are going to tear… this…. up!
Easter weekend yup, yup. Definitely added this to my meal plan and I think it will be a killer meal for Saturday night when I’m hiding eggs for the grandbaby. Thank you! Hoppy Easter to you!
Wow. That’s one excellent dish! Definitely gonna try it for my family this Easter. I’m sure my kids will love it!
You caught me. I was about to have a Banquet chicken pot pie for lunch… now I feel guilty. This has made my to-do list.
HOLY. AWESOME. This looks incredible. I am drooling. No, really, I am drooling. I’m not a meat eater, or a dairy eater, some people call me a vegan – but I am most certainly making this for my meat + dairy loving family. Because sometimes I do nice things like that.
I would looooove to try to veganize this, too.
oh jeez.
rotisserie chicken is the best invention ever, besides pre-washed lettuce.
This looks awesome Joy, you rock! Happy Easter by the way!
i just died and went to pot pie heaven! bless you Joy!
This looks sooo good! YUM!
