Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Pot Pie Filling: In a large Dutch oven or deep skillet, melt 3 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery; sauté 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in 1/4 cup flour, cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then milk, stirring until thickened. Add chicken, peas, potatoes, thyme, sage, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Simmer 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- 2. Make the Garlic Cheddar Biscuits: In a large bowl, whisk 2 cups flour, baking powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cut in 6 tbsp cold butter until coarse crumbs form. Stir in cheddar cheese. Gradually add buttermilk, stirring until just combined to form a shaggy dough. Do not overmix.
- 3. Shape and Top the Biscuits: Lightly flour a surface. Pat or roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out 10-12 biscuits using a 2-inch cutter. Arrange biscuits over the pot pie filling.
- 4. Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbly. While baking, melt 2 tbsp butter and stir in 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Immediately brush garlic butter over hot biscuits. Rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
