Chicken Pot Pie

On the menu today – Chicken Pot Pie!

I was craving some good ole comfort food today and Chicken Pot Pie has GOT to be in the top two or three for comfort food. I tried something different this time with the crust. Instead of puff pastry or pie dough, I used flakey biscuits. With the cooked biscuits split, I used the bottoms on the bottom of the baking dish and the tops for the top.

Making dough isn’t one of my favorite things to do, so I decided to try using biscuits instead. I think it turned out really well. The filling it out of this world. I used chicken thighs, which I think have more flavor than the breast meat. The thighs were baked seasoned with salt and pepper – that’s it. The rest of the filling comes together really quickly.

With the weather getting cooler, you need to get those comfort food recipes out. I hope you will try my version the next time you make chicken pot pie. Let me know how it turns out.
