Chicken Pot Pie with Grandma’s biscuits, filled with a medley of vegetables in a creamy sauce, seasoned with sage. Ultimate comfort food dinner recipe.
Chicken pot pie really is the ultimate comfort food. Topped with biscuits, this is one of my all-time favorite dinner recipes, right up there with my family’s favorite beef pot pie.
When I originally came up with this recipe, I knew I wanted to use something other than thyme for flavor. I’ve used thyme before, and it seems to be the quintessential pot pie herb. But I’m just not a fan.
It’s kinda like my husband with cilantro. It’s just not his thing.
As I scavenged through our spice rack, I found a bottle of sage. Why not? I knew that it’s good with both turkey and chicken, so it stood to reason that it would provide a really nice flavor.
Flavor indeed! Sage, along with a little salt and pepper, add just the kind of flavor I crave in my pot pie. It’s oh so creamy delicious, and the flavors rock this pot pie out!
Learn how to make my Chicken Pot Pie.
Your first step is to wash, peel, and chunk up your potatoes. You’ll also need to chop the carrots. Add them to a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a rolling boil, cooking ’til softened.
Meanwhile, make the chicken broth or have ready-made chicken broth ready to go. I prefer to use a kind of chicken base to make it quickly.
Add butter to a large skillet, and sauté onions and celery ’til tender. Add broth and heavy whipping cream to the onion/celery mixture in the skillet.
Slowly whisk the flour into the creamed mixture, making sure there are no lumps. Add sage, salt, and pepper for seasoning. Allow this creamed mixture to simmer until it thickens to the right consistency for pot pie; you want it to be almost or about as thick as gravy.
Add all your vegetables and chicken to the creamed mixture, combining everything well. Allow to heat and cook for about 10 minutes. Pour into a greased 9″ x 13″ baking dish.
Mix up and cut out easy homemade biscuits and place on top. You can even use canned biscuits. But I highly recommend homemade.
Bake at 425° for about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, serve while warm, and enjoy the comfort of homemade chicken pot pie.
