Ingredients

It's a fast pot pie — warm filling, biscuit lid, hot oven. The filling is already-cooked chicken and vegetables bound in cream soup, so the 450°F oven is really just to bake the biscuit top until golden, about 15 minutes. Lay the dough loosely over the top so steam escapes and the underside bakes through.

Easier, if you like

Leftover or rotisserie chicken and a bag of frozen mixed vegetables make this a true 30-minute supper.
Refrigerated biscuits (or a sheet of pie crust or puff pastry) can top it instead of mixing the Bisquick dough.

Method

Cook's notes

A weeknight pot pie built for leftovers — cooked chicken or turkey and whatever cooked vegetables you have, bound in cream-of-mushroom gravy under a quick biscuit lid.

The filling is already cooked, so the bake just browns the biscuit top — about 15 minutes at 450°F.

Roll the Bisquick dough loosely over the top (it's fine if it doesn't reach the edges) so steam escapes and the underside cooks through.

Cream of chicken soup works in place of mushroom for a milder, more classic pot-pie flavor.

Make it gluten-free or vegetarian

Gluten-free: use a gluten-free baking mix for the biscuit top and a gluten-free condensed mushroom soup.

Vegetarian: skip the chicken and double the cooked vegetables — the cream-soup gravy and biscuit top carry it.
