Why I Love This Recipe
When I’m craving comfort food but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen, this is one of the first recipes I make. It has everything I love about classic chicken pot pie, but using rotisserie chicken cuts down on the prep and makes it so easy to throw together. The creamy filling is loaded with tender chicken and vegetables, then topped with fluffy golden biscuits that bake up perfectly. It’s warm, cozy, hearty, and one of those dinners the whole family gets excited about.
Enjoying The Leftovers
The leftovers are just as cozy the next day. The filling stays creamy, and the biscuits soften slightly as they soak up all the delicious flavors.
Storing
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheating
Reheat individual portions in the microwave until warmed through, or reheat in a 350°F oven until hot. If using the oven, loosely cover with foil to keep the biscuits from over-browning while the filling heats through.
