Gluten Free Chicken Pot Pie Skillet with Biscuits

For a healthy and hearty comfort food classic- this gluten free chicken pot pie skillet with biscuits will warm your heart even on the coldest day!

With rotisserie chicken, buttery biscuits, and a healthy dose of veggies, this cozy dish is easy to throw together, even on a weeknight. Plus, it only requires one pan!

Simple, yet oh-so flavorful! Want all of the comfort with less of the time?!?

Delicious and homemade, just like Grandma! Except, Grandma's took over an hour to make...and had a lot of pie crust per serving. This version basically increases the good stuff (chicken and veggies) and decreases the not-so-healthy part (aka the pie crust.)

In a pinch- you can use canned biscuits. Personally, I've never found refrigerated gluten free biscuits, but they likely exist somewhere. Simply season with herbs and brush with a bit of butter for a homemade feel.

Ingredients
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. gluten free flour
  • 3 c. frozen peas and carrots (16 oz.)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 16 oz. shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 1/2 c. low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 Tbsp. corn starch

Gluten Free Drop Biscuit Dough

  • 1/2 c. + 2 Tbsp. gluten free flour blend
  • 1/4 c. corn starch
  • 2 Tbsp. buttermilk powder (if you can find it)
  • 1/4 tsp. xanthan gum
  • 1/2 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 c. butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 c. milk
Instructions
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a medium oven-safe skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Whisk in the flour. Then, allow to cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the peas and carrots and sauté for 4-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Next, stir in the chicken and chicken broth. In a small bowl, mix the corn starch with 1 Tbsp. of water. Stir into the mixture.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the gluten free flour, corn starch, buttermilk powder, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. With clean hands, two forks, or a pastry blender, cut in the butter. Mixture should resemble small crumbles. Next, pour in the milk. Use a spatula to mix, until a sticky dough is formed. Cover the chicken and veggies with pieces of the biscuit dough.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, until biscuits are beginning to brown. Broth will continue to thicken as it cools.
