Fri-Chik Pot Pie
Creamy vegetable and Fri-Chik pot pie with flaky biscuits, perfect for comforting family dinners and veggie lovers seeking a hearty, savory meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large oblong baking dish, combine the cream of broccoli soup, milk, and dried thyme leaves.
- Stir in the cooked broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and cubed cooked potatoes.
- Place the Hungry Jack flaky biscuits evenly over the mixture.
- Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes, or until the mixture begins to bubble and biscuits are golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some shredded cheese or diced onions into the filling. If you don’t have cream of broccoli soup, cream of mushroom or chicken can be great substitutes. Feel free to use any combination of vegetables you have on hand, such as green beans or peas, to enhance the dish's nutrition. For a heartier texture, add cooked chicken or turkey.
Serving Suggestions
This pot pie is a complete meal on its own, but it pairs beautifully with a simple side salad or some crusty bread. For a delightful finish, consider serving it with a slice of Mom'S Peach Creme Pie for dessert. You can also garnish the pot pie with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Fri-Chik Pot Pie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for quicker reheating, but the biscuits may lose some crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pot pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the pot pie a day in advance. Just cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if it's coming straight from the fridge.
Can I freeze the pot pie?
Absolutely! You can freeze the assembled pot pie before baking. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. When ready to enjoy, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed. Keep in mind that the biscuit texture may change slightly after freezing.
What can I substitute for the biscuits?
If you're looking for a different topping, you can use puff pastry or homemade biscuit dough instead of Hungry Jack flaky biscuits. For a healthier option, try a whole wheat biscuit mix or even a layer of mashed potatoes on top for a unique twist.
