Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup mixed vegetables
- 1 cup cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup shredded chicken
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your pot pie cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, mixed vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, and shredded chicken. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting to your preference.
- Once the filling is prepared, take a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish and pour the rice and chicken mixture into it, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Open the package of refrigerated biscuit dough. Carefully separate the biscuits and flatten each one slightly with your hands or a rolling pin. This will help them fit better over the filling.
- Arrange the flattened biscuits over the top of the filling in the pie dish. You can place them close together or slightly overlapping, depending on your preference. Make sure to cover the filling completely for a nice crust.
- Once the biscuits are arranged, place the pie dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- After baking, carefully remove the pot pie from the oven. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving, as the filling will be very hot.
- Serve the Creamy Rice Biscuit Pot Pie warm, and enjoy this comforting dish with family and friends.
Tips
- Use leftover rice or rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor
- For a crispier biscuit topping, brush the dough with a beaten egg before baking
- Feel free to customize your vegetables - frozen mixed veggies work great, but fresh seasonal vegetables can elevate the dish
- If the biscuits are browning too quickly, cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil
- Let the pot pie rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and make serving easier
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine or some dried herbs to your filling mixture
