Ingredients

  • For Filling:
  • 2 tablespoons butter or dairy free butter
  • 1/4 cup diced yellow onions
  • 1 teaspoons jarred minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 10 oz frozen mixed veggies I used peas, carrots and corn
  • 2 teaspoons herb and garlic seasoning
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk dairy-free is fine
  • For Topping:
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons very cold dairy-free salted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk dairy-free is fine

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
  • Heat butter in dutch oven over medium high heat
  • Add onion and saute for 3-4 minutes
  • Add garlic and continue sautéing while stirring 2-3 additional minutes
  • Stir in 1/4 cup of flour until combined well
  • Add chicken, veggies, seasoning, broth and dairy and bring to a simmer until sauce thickens
  • Remove from heat and set aside
  • Mix together dry ingredients for biscuits
  • Cut 3 tablespoons of the butter into tiny pieces and then work into dry ingredients using fork until evenly combined
  • Add milk and combine into a dough
  • Place dough on a floured surface and roll out to about 3/4 inches thick
  • Use a biscuit cutter, glass or knife to cut dough into individual biscuits (I used a small juice glass)
  • Place on top of filling in dutch oven
  • Place in oven for 10 minutes
  • Melt remaining 1 tablespoon of butter
  • Brush over top of biscuits
  • Return to oven and bake 5 more minutes until biscuits are lightly browned

Notes

  • Use Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Thighs or rotisserie chicken for easy prep
  • Prepare all filling ingredients prepared before you start so it doesn't burn
  • Use 6 quart dutch oven if doubling
  • If doubling, make the biscuits 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick instead
