How to Make Cozy Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

Let’s make it together! Follow these cozy steps to create your delicious Chicken Pot Pie:

Preheat your oven to 375°F and spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, frozen vegetables, minced garlic, and both cheeses. Mix until well combined.
Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cut each biscuit into quarters and toss them gently in the melted butter until coated.
Place the biscuit pieces on a greased baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until just golden.
Carefully top the chicken mixture with the partially baked biscuits, arranging them evenly over the filling.
Bake the entire dish for 20-25 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling away.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burning those eager mouths!
