Instructions
Dice your celery, carrots, and onion, and then set it aside while you shred/chop your chicken.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, celery, carrots, and mushrooms.
Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add Flavor:
Stir in the garlic paste and Italian paste, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Make the Roux:
Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well to coat.
Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Add Liquids:
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps remain.
Add the heavy cream, Better Than Bouillon chicken base, and Worcestershire sauce.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently until it thickens.
Combine Ingredients:
Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and frozen peas to the pot.
Season with AP and Lemon Bae seasoning to taste.
Let it simmer on low for another 5 minutes to combine all the flavors.
As always, be sure to taste as you go and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Prepare the Biscuit Topping
Make the Biscuits:
Follow the instructions on the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix.
Usually, this involves combining the mix with water and melted butter to create a dough.
Preheat Oven: If you haven’t already, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Combine:
Pour the chicken filling into a large baking dish or casserole dish.
Top with Biscuits:
Spoon the biscuit mixture over the filling, ensuring an even layer.
Place the assembled pot pie in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Serve and Enjoy
Once your Cheddar Bay Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie is out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes.
Then, serve it up with a side salad or your favorite veggies for a complete meal.
