On any given day you can usually find at least 2 whole chickens in my freezer. When they’re on sale, we’ll grab a few to stock-up. A small whole chicken will cost us about $4 when they’re on sale and we’ll get at least 2 meals for out of it for the hubby, the toddler, and myself. The first day we’ll just eat the chicken however it was cooked (usually in the slow cooker). Then later that night I’ll pick the rest of the chicken for another meal.
One of my favorite leftover chicken dishes is a chicken pot pie, but with biscuits.
You will need:
- 1 pouch Progresso Recipe Starters cooking sauce – Creamy Roasted Garlic (I had a can in the pantry, but they’re pouches now)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 cup cooked chicken (chopped, shredded, diced- whatever you have)
- salt, pepper, any extra seasoning you want
- Freezer Biscuits
Instructions:
- Heat oven to 425°.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, using a wire whisk, mix together the cooking sauce, flour, ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper until smooth
- Add vegetables and heat to boiling. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Stir in chicken.
- Pour into glass dish. (I use a 2.75 qt. dish)
- (Optional) Put shredded cheese over the top.
- Top with freezer biscuits.
- Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 min.
How do you use your leftover chicken?
Oh my how yummy we really enjoy a good pot pie. thank you for sharing your recipe.
ReplyDeleteChicken pot pie is always a fave in our house! We usually make wraps or use it in scrambled eggs, etc..
ReplyDeleteWe usually never have left over chicken because we are a family of six, and four of the family is males, so we usually never have left over chicken. This looks like a great recipe for homemade chicken pot pie, so much better than the frozen store bought kind.
ReplyDeleteI love simple recipes like this and that are budget friendly. I'm always looking for different ways to cook chicken.
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect kind of food to serve to the family after a cold or rough day for them. Comfort food at it's finest. :)
ReplyDeleteThe great thing about pot pies are that they can be a way to clean out the cupboards of things that have been in there too long. You can throw just about anything in there and not mess it up.
ReplyDeleteYou were right when you said it was easy. I will have to give this a shot. My husband loves chicken pot pies but I've never made my own. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat looks yummy, comforting and so easy to make! I might have to do this sometime!
