Chicken Or Turkey Pot Pie
A hearty chicken or turkey pot pie with a creamy filling and flaky biscuit topping, perfect for comforting family dinners and utilizing cooked poultry.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the cooked and boned chicken or turkey, chicken broth, cream of celery soup, and melted butter in a casserole dish.
- Spread the mixture evenly in a 8 1/2 x 13 1/2 inch dish.
- Mix milk and Bisquick together until smooth.
- Pour the Bisquick mixture over the meat and broth layer.
- Bake at 350°F for 1 hour until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider sautéing some onions and garlic before mixing them into the filling. You can substitute the cream of celery soup with Low-Fat Cream Of Broccoli-Chicken Soup if you're looking for a healthier option. If you prefer a flaky crust, use store-bought pie crust instead of the Bisquick topping for a more traditional pot pie.
Serving Suggestions
This pot pie is delicious on its own, but for a complete meal, serve it with a side salad or steamed vegetables. Pair it with a warm loaf of bread or a light dressing like Dressing With Cornbread for a comforting dinner. For a refreshing contrast, a chilled cucumber salad can also be a great side.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pot pie in the oven at 350°F for about 20-30 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions, but the crust may not stay as crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken as long as it's cooked thoroughly before adding it to the pot pie. Just ensure you allow enough time for the chicken to cool and be deboned before mixing it in with the other ingredients.
What can I use instead of Bisquick?
If you don't have Bisquick on hand, you can make a homemade mix using 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt, then mix in 2 tablespoons of butter until crumbly before adding the milk.
Can I add vegetables to the filling?
Absolutely! Adding vegetables like peas, carrots, or corn can enhance the flavor and nutrition of your pot pie. Just make sure to cook them slightly before mixing them in to ensure they are tender by the time the pie is baked.
