The filling is made by cooking onion, celery, and garlic in some butter. Once they are softened, flour is added to make a roux and then chicken broth and heavy cream are whisked in. Once the mixture thickens, the filling is seasoned with some thyme and peas and carrots plus chicken are added to finish it off.

Tender Biscuit Topping

On top is a light and fluffy biscuit topping. No need to roll out the dough and cut biscuits. Just mix the dough together and plop it on top. A little Parmesan cheese is sprinkled on top for flavor.

White Lily Flour

The key to a fluffy biscuit topping is White Lily flour. Used by southern cooks for generations, this is THE flour for making biscuits. If you don’t have it available in your area, you can order White Lily Flour from Amazon.

White Lily flour is lower in protein content than regular all-purpose flour and makes a lighter, more tender biscuit.

With a creamy chicken filling with plenty of peas and carrots and a light and fluffy biscuit topping, this Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping is southern comfort food at its best!
