Ingredients

Chicken Pot Pie

• 2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts, see notes
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 4 Tablespoons butter
• ½ cup onions, finely diced
• ½ cup celery, finely diced
• ½ cup carrots, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon EACH: Onion Powder, Dry Thyme, Dry Rosemary
• ¼ teaspoon ground sage
• 1/3 cup flour
• ½ cup Half and half
• 1 chicken bouillon cube or 1 tsp better than bouillon
• 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce, you can’t taste it, but it enhances the flavors
• 1 cup frozen peas

Biscuits: See Instructions

Instructions

For the Biscuits

• Prepare buttermilk biscuits but do not bake. Store formed biscuits on a plate in the fridge while you prepare the pot pie, then add the formed biscuits to the top when ready to bake. Bake at 425° for 15-18 minutes. (Optional: Brush with butter and bake at 450° for up to 5 more minutes to brown the top more.)You may also use my Cheddar Bay Biscuit recipe: Combine the dry ingredients together in advance. When you’re ready to bake, proceed in mixing the wet ingredients and forming the dough. Add biscuits to the top of the skillet when ready to bake. Bake at 450° for 12-15 minutes.Refrigerated biscuits may also be used. If making Bisquick biscuits or using a Biscuit mix: Prepare them JUST before baking. Refer to package for baking time/temperature.
• You may also bake the biscuits on a baking sheet while you prepare the filling, but baking them on top of the skillet of pot pie adds an extra level of cozy comfort!

For the Chicken Pot Pie

• Add the uncooked chicken breast and chicken broth to a pot and let it bubble gently with the lid cracked for 15 minutes, until cooked through. Don’t boil rapidly or the chicken will be tough. Remove the chicken and use forks to shred. Set aside and reserve the broth that the chicken cooked in.

• Meanwhile, melt butter in a wide (12-inch) pan over medium heat and sauté onions, celery, and carrots for 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and seasonings. Toss to coat and cook for 1 more minute.
• Add flour and toss to coat. Cook for 2 minutes or until you can no longer smell raw flour.

• Add two-thirds of the chicken broth in small splashes, stirring to incorporate. Add the half and half in the same manner. Adding the liquid too quickly will break the roux and interfere with the thickness of the gravy.
• Add chicken bouillon and soy sauce. Then add the shredded chicken and stir to combine.
• If the liquid was added slowly, the gravy should be pretty thick. If you would like it to be thicker, bring to a gentle boil and reduce to a simmer.
• Optional: Add any of the remaining chicken broth if desired. The bottom of the biscuits will absorb some of it during baking.

• Add the frozen peas and stir to combine and heat through. Remove from heat.
• Transfer filling to a lightly greased 9 x13-inch baking dish if your skillet isn’t oven safe.
• Add the biscuits to the top and bake per biscuit recipe instructions, or until biscuits are golden and set in the middle. Note: you can also bake the biscuits separately on a baking sheet and place them on the filling after, resulting in a crispier bottom biscuit.

• Optional: Brush butter on top of the biscuits at the end and bake at 450° for 3-5 more minutes if additional browning is desired.

This lemon chicken orzo recipe is creamy, comforting, made in one pot (for fewer dishes!), and comes together in about 30 minutes.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ▢2 tablespoons butter
• ▢1/2 medium onion chopped
• ▢3 cloves garlic minced
• ▢1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ▢1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
• ▢2 cups chicken broth
• ▢2 tablespoons lemon juice
• ▢1 cup heavy/whipping cream
• ▢2 cups cooked shredded/rotisserie chicken
• ▢1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• ▢2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach
• ▢Salt & pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS 

• Add the oil, butter, and onion to a pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes.
• Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, and orzo. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often (this infuses the orzo with more flavor and toasts it a little).
• Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and cream. Once it starts to bubble, continue cooking for 10 minutes, uncovered, stirring fairly often. You will probably need to turn the heat down a bit (to medium or even medium-low). It should gently bubble vs. furiously boil, and you don’t want the liquid to reduce too much before the pasta has cooked. See notes below for troubleshooting tips.

• Stir in the chicken.
• Take the pot off the heat, stir in the parmesan and spinach, and cover the pot for 3-5 minutes or until it has thickened up to your liking. Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.

NOTES

• Serves 4-6 depending on how much people eat.
• I don’t recommend subbing the cream. There’s a good chance the sauce will curdle with something lower fat (due to the fairly high heat + citrus).
• If the pasta is soaking up the liquid too fast (like before the orzo is cooked), turn the heat down and/or add a splash more broth or cream. If there’s too much liquid, cover the pot for longer than suggested in the recipe and the orzo will absorb it quickly.
• Orzo is pasta. If you want to make this with rice, you may have to adjust liquid measurements and cooking time (it’s a different recipe that I have not tested).

• Add the chicken pieces to a large bowl and season with approximately 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
