Easy Skillet Chicken Pot Pie with Homemade Biscuits

Easy Skillet Chicken Pot Pie with Homemade Biscuits

Ingredients:

For the Pot Pie:

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 2 cups mixed frozen vegetables (such as corn, peas, and carrots)
• 3 ounces fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

For the Biscuits:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 ounces fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup whole milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Heat your oven to 450°F to prepare for baking.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they’re lightly browned on each side, about 2 minutes per side.
3. Make the Pot Pie Filling:
   • Sprinkle flour over the chicken and whisk to combine. Gradually pour in the chicken stock, continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Add the frozen vegetables and grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir well, then reduce heat to medium and let the mixture come to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
4. Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, grated Parmesan cheese, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and milk, stirring until a dough forms.
5. Assemble the Pot Pie:
   • With the skillet still on the heat, drop rounded tablespoons of biscuit dough on top of the chicken mixture to form biscuits.
6. Bake:
   • Place the skillet on a cookie sheet (to catch any drips) and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
7. Garnish and Serve:
   • Sprinkle the finished dish with dried parsley. Serve hot directly from the skillet for a comforting and hearty meal.
