Ingredients
For the filling:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 small sweet onion, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 cup green beans (fresh or frozen & thawed), cut into 1/2-in pieces
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3–1/2 cups cooked diced chicken (leftover rotisserie chicken or 2 chicken breasts cooked and diced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
For the biscuits
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper
- 3 tablespoons cold butter, diced
- 1 tablespoons minced fresh chives
- 1/4 cup cheddar, shredded
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup cold buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° and coat an ovenproof skillet with cooking spray.
To make the filling:
- Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery; cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the green beans, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Stir in the flour and cook for another minute. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly. Stir in the broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the chicken and thyme and cook for 2 minutes more, or until the chicken is warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To prepare biscuits:
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut or rub the butter into the dry ingredients. Stir in the chives and shredded Cheddar. Add buttermilk and honey; stir until just combined.
- Form the dough into 6 biscuits and drop by spoonful on top of the hot filling. Lightly brush with olive oil. Place the pot pie on a baking sheet.
- Bake until filling is bubbling and the biscuit topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
