Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb chicken breast or thighs
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried sage
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 refrigerated biscuits, baked and cubed (for croutons)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Sear the chicken. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large pot over medium-high and sear 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Remove; it will finish in the soup.
- Sweat the vegetables. In the same pot, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Cook the onion, carrots, and celery 6-7 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, thyme, and sage for 30 seconds.
- Build the creamy base. Sprinkle in the flour and stir 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until smooth.
- Simmer to thick and cozy. Return the chicken to the pot and simmer 15 minutes. Shred the chicken with two forks, stir it back in with the peas, corn, and cream, and simmer 5 more minutes. Top bowls with biscuit croutons and parsley.
🥧 Pot-pie pointers
Thyme and sage are the pot-pie signature — don't skip them. Bake the biscuits while the soup simmers and cube them warm so they stay crisp on top. Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut: stir in 4 cups shredded at the end and skip the sear.

📌 Pin it for later❓ Common questions
Can I use rotisserie chicken?
Yes — stir in 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken with the peas and corn; skip the searing step entirely.
Can I make it dairy-free?
Use olive oil instead of butter and full-fat coconut milk instead of cream.
What else can I top it with?
Puff pastry squares, oyster crackers, or a swirl of cream all work — but biscuit croutons are the move.
